Too bad the only thing he will be remembered for, is a blow job
With Student Loan Mess, Democrats Reaping What They Sowed | Speaker of the House John Boehner | speaker.govIn 2007, the Democratic majority in Congress enacted legislation to double interest rates on new federal student loans from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent in 2012.
In 2007, Obama Was No-Show on Student Loan Bill - By Katrina Trinko - The Corner - National Review OnlineTurns out that President Obama, who is currently aggressively pushing to extend the low-interest rates on subsidized student loans, didn’t even bother to leave the campaign trail and vote for the original bill in 2007
Merged again.
How many threads do we need on this?
The equal time rule states that if a licensee permits a person “who is a legally qualified candidate for any public office to use a broadcasting station, he shall afford equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office in the use of such broadcasting station.”
There are exceptions to the rule: appearances on (1) a bona fide newscast, (2) a bona fide news interview, (3) a bona fide news documentary, or (4) on-the-spot coverage of bona fide news events.
Only the second provision could be construed as saving NBC from giving Mitt Romney equal time. But this was not a bona fide news interview. In fact, it wasn’t an interview at all – no questions were asked, no answers were given. It was literally Obama reading a campaign speech over a guitar, a horn, a keyboard, and some drums.
Not only was this appearance in violation of equal time law, it was clearly an in-kind contribution by NBC to the Obama campaign. As the Federal Elections Commission states, “A donation of services is … considered an in-kind contribution.” Under applicable law, contribution of broadcast time is considered such a service. This was a campaign commercial for Obama, and the Obama campaign was not charged for it. A minute of network time can cost up to a couple million dollars; this segment ran a full five minutes. There is no doubt that Obama was given millions of dollars of free advertising time, and the Romney campaign should invoke all available law to make that clear.
NBC should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Mitt Romney should be given equal time, and an equally sycophantic propaganda piece by Fallon. Obama should be ashamed of himself (though, of course, he has no capacity for shame).

Every night I get home and turn on the TV to see the days events.
There's Obama out and about somewhere.
Out there speech a fyin ...appearing on Leno or Letterman.
Does this President EVER spend ANY time in the WH?
You know doing his job.![]()
awwwwww.... poor baby.
yeah, he should let mittens have alllllllllll the press til the general election.![]()
No... but I am sick of paying for his campaigning.
If he payed for the trip there, Im good, but I know and you know that was'nt the case.
One more thing.... it would have been real leadership if he would have used it as an opurtunity to denounced all the violence being tied to to the Trayvon Martin case.
But then again, most of us can see the emperor has no clothes.
Can you say hypocrite republicans sure we can ...

I'm sure the guys at Brietbart's site know some lawyers - if this is so cut-and-dried, why don't they take Obama to court?
(because they know they'd lose)

When was Romney President of the United States?
He reminds me of a father who's more interested in trying to fit in with his teenage kid's friends and be the "cool" dad, instead of placing his parental responsibilities as the priority.
