Thread: MSM was screaming about Paul Ryan and Pell Grans... What about Obama?

ahoy Wlessard,

he's cuttin' government spendin' then, aye?

i just searched FoxNews.com, with the keywords "Pell Grant" and "Obama" and came up with nothin'.

how come folks like Mr. Krauthammer and Mr. Hannity aren't singin' the skipper's praises when he takes the axe to a cherished recipient 'o big government spendin', namely education?

how come the conservative MSM aren't laudin' the POTUS?

aye?

'tis really interestin' to read the comments under that piece, too;

"This is why young voters should do some research on the person they want to vote for instead of getting their information from T.V and celebrities. At least college kids can keep being promiscuous with their free birth control."

"They get what they deserve..they voted for him without even thinking.. that's what happens when you drink that kool-aid."

"all about birth control and abortions..that's how he hooked in the college crowd..social issues..now they wont get jobs when they graduate.."

"I'm young but I didn't vote for Obama. Only fools would have done that."

who is the readership fer this newspaper, anyway? they seem very angry at Mr. Obama fer...cuttin' federal spendin' on the Dept. of Education? conservatives (i would imagine) would be joyous that the skipper is finally cuttin' back on the DoE spendin', no?

be the Examiner a far left liberal newspaper?

I think the complaint is that the MSM is keeping it a secret. All of the MSM.

How many college students watch news?
Spend 30 seconds on Pell Grants and explain to your sponsors why a million people switched channels.

So if college pupils are so uninformed why do you allow them to vote?

For the same reason that many of their peers with Cable and Radio shows are allowed to vote.
Knowledge is unrelated to one's right to vote...unfortunately.

Cable and Radio are informative.

Why? Rights should require responsibility to be informed. Though your answer may be technically true, there is no excuse for that. It would make more sense to mandate voting with a fine for not doing so. I think maybe Obama would not win under those circumstances.

Which Cable and Radio programs in your opinion are informative?

I receive both BBC. and German TV and Radio on cable. What is wrong with Cable? The Cable doesn't change the content of the newscast. What American TV I get is by Satellite and I get US PBS and network news.

Actually, I apologize for my last response.
If you notice, I stated "peers" in my setting a relationship between college students and a subset of supposedly informative news media commentators.
There are a plethora of publicly uninformed people in the media who constantly fail the knowledge test and yet I am sure they are allowed to vote.

Is that how it's done in Germany? Do they require a test before you can vote? how much is the fine if you don't vote?

As the pirate has said before, Obama, he really hath ruled as more conservative than the far left guy the cons accuse him of being.

But it is odd that the MSM has failed to talk about it, while the right wing media has not given obama any "atta boys" for CUTTING spending. But then with the cons, it really never was about policy anyways was it? It's ODS. Obama Derangement Syndrome, which apparently is quite contagious because it spread like the black plague amongst that group. But I hear they don't wash their hands after they go to the toilet and ODS is spread by poor bathroom habits.

One day Mitch McConnell and old Harry Reid happened to go into the senate restroom together. Finishing up bout the same time at their respective urinals, old Mitch headed to the sink to wash his hands as Harry headed to the door. Mitch hollered out, " republicans always wash their hands after taking a leak". To which old Harry chirped back, " liberals don't piss on our hands."

Of course while conservatives don't actually piss on their hands, they do piss on the legs of the voters, as they swear that's it's raining.

I didn't vote for obama again because he has not govern ed as a liberal but as a right of center republican, even stealing their healthcare bill that the republicans, many of them loved until Obama decided to use it. I reckon Obama found out real fast that he was gonna have a hard time with the republicans, as they wouldn't even vote for their own concoction for no other reason than obama supported it.

So that Fox and CTR are not giving him kudos to me says they are even more biased and partisan than the MSM could ever achieve. I say give it a few days and we will probably see it covered, on the less biased MSM.(MSNBC EXCLUDED)

One thing about "jump the gun" republicans. They want the MSM to cover stuff like this the way Fox covered the politically driven Libya story as it involves Rice and Obama. And they want that coverage to start with inuendos being cast about like a a speed freak casting for big bass from the get go, adding to it each day, trying to build it up to a partisan political cresendo, faking indignation as skillfully as the best Hollywood star. I have to at least hand that to the republicans. They are damn good actors, as most liars are. Academy Award material, IMO.

The way I read the article, he isn't cutting spending, he is simply limiting the time that the grants can be used
