"Still, Hope n' Change can understand the appeal of the word "Forward" to Obama's campaign team. Because it's the opposite of "Rewind" - a word which would invite voters to actually review Barack Obama's disastrous, debt-ridden, America-diminishing first term. And that's certainly no way to win reelection."
Just to have a bit of fun with this:
Or not..  It's good to hear these young men aspire to excellence, but...



But one can hope one of those young men will become another Thomas Sowell and write with wisdom such as this:
There is no subject on which lies and half-truths have become so much the norm on ivy-covered campuses than is the subject of race. Moreover, anyone who even questions these lies and half-truths is almost certain to be called a "racist," especially in academic institutions which loudly proclaim a "diversity" that is confined to demographics, and all but forbidden when it comes to a diversity of ideas.
Great minds such as that of Thomas Sowell can lead us forward-  Barack Obama can only diminish this nation.

The Obamanomony as we know it


Dismal jobs numbers  "The BLS calculates what they refer to as the Civilian Labor Force which is those who have jobs and are seeking jobs.   Those the BLS estimates are not seeking work are not included." 

Another dismal month of job creation: More unemployed give up looking for work (Updated)  "For the record, the Labor Department says the unemployment rate fell to 8.1% - down from 8.2% last month. But looking inside the numbers gives a dreary picture of what it's like to be unemployed in Obama's economy."


American Enterprise Institute:  Why the job market might not be normal until 2019 or beyond …  "As I have been pointing out, the plunging labor force participation rate has been distorting the true picture of the labor market. But economist Mike Darda of MKM Partners has a way of getting around the demographic issue by only focusing on folks during (what should be) the prime of their working life:

Obama 2012: Stealing Bush's Legacy

Pamela Geller  "For years before he became President and then on the campaign trail in 2008, Obama railed against and denounced the very policies and procedures that ultimately led to the Bin Laden kill. The capture and kill of Osama bin Laden was ten years in the making. And during those years, Barack Obama excoriated George W. Bush for "enhanced interrogation techniques" and waterboarding three (!) top jihad killers. Thousands of lives were saved, but Obama cared more about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's sore nose. Now he is taking credit for those very things? Whiplash. How about the SEALS who took out Bin Laden? Do they deserve any credit?
"Much is made of the fact that Obama okayed the kill. Do you mean to tell me he could have said no?"

NBC's Williams In Awe of Obama's 'Even Keel' During Bin Laden Killing 
"Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough replied: "As a big fan of Costco, I can confirm that we did eat Costco that night. Frankly, throughout the day." "

Bin Laden Documents Show Obama Strategy a Farce "That the Obama administration continues its ill-considered plan to “engage” the Taliban when it has zero positive to show for its efforts and against all evidence that its strategy is actively harming U.S. servicemen and the U.S. position in Afghanistan and undercutting the desired outcomes in Afghanistan, is nothing short of policy malpractice."


USS COLE COMMANDER SLAMS OBAMA AD  "“This whole thing of even putting out that ad, to me is just disgusting because you are politicizing a national security decision,” Lippold said during an interview with The Daily Caller on the one-year anniversary of bin Laden’s killing.

"“Any president that was put in that position would have probably made the difficult choice,” he said. “I don’t care what political stripe they are, they would have done it.”"
