Hypocrite Republicans are getting exposed. They got federal loan forgiveness, yet complained about student debt forgiveness. Typical doublespeak.
Barrack Obama was the top of his class in both Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School. He and his wife Michel Obama had a student debt and only paid it off until they were in their 40s. This is what he has told an audience in Buffalo, NY:
"Michelle and I, we’re only where we are today because scholarships and student loans gave us a shot at a great education.
And we know a little bit about trying to pay back student loans, too, because we didn’t come from a wealthy family. So we each graduated from college and law school with a mountain of debt. And even though we got good jobs, we barely finished paying it off just before I was elected to the U.S. Senate. ...
I mean, I was in my 40s when we finished paying off our debt. And we should have been saving for Malia and Sasha by that time. But we were still paying off what we had gotten, and we were luckier because most of the debt was from law school. Our undergraduate debt was not as great because tuition had not started shooting up as high."
So unless you have your family supporting you or huge amount of money, education in America means getting a loan. Of course if you came from a poor family, then you would get a support from the system.

He had around a 3.0 GPA apparently when he got accepted Harvard. Hardly impressive. No one knew him during his undergraduate studies because all he did was do drugs. He obviously got in due to affirmative action where he then excelled in law school
1. Transcripters want to paint Obama as a dumb, affirmative-action fraud
In his $20,000 offer for Obama's transcripts, Bayne lays out his rationale: "We're not convinced that Barack is as smart as you media elitists keep insisting he is." The charge that the president got bad grades 30 years ago doesn't hold water, however: Biographer David Maraniss says Obama got a 3.7 GPA at Columbia and graduated magna laude from Harvard Law, something you can't do with bad grades. But unless Obama agrees to release his transcripts, says Nadra Kareem Nittle in Loop 21, these activists can keep on insinuating "that Obama made his way to the Ivy League by way of affirmative action, that he’s just another undeserving minority who played the system."
Obama graduated with at minimum 3.7 GPA from Columbia University and "magna cloud" grade from Harvard. This is how "magna cloud is explained:
"magna laude: at least a 3.4 total GPA (grade point average) and a class rank in the 85th percentile or above in the student's school or college. summa laude: at least a 3.7 total GPA (grade point average) and a class rank in the 95th percentile or above in the student's school or college."
So the guy recieved between 3.4 - 3.7 GPA from Harvard.
Your claim of Obama getting into elite schools due to affirmative action holds no water. He had a high GPA and he took a loan to augment his scholarships.

Of course his biographer would say this. Why would he damage his relationship with the former President? Doesn't sound like a very good career move. How come his biographer can say this but his transcript cannot confirm it? The general consensus is that he had a GPA in the low 3.0s while doing his bachelor degree and got into Harvard because he was black. He then did well there.
He became President because Oprah endorsed him. Everyone knows this. Good for him though. He is a very talented orator and has been wildly successful in brainwashing people like you to become leftists. History will remember him as a warmonger who dropped so many bombs on civilians that the military literally ran out of bombs.
May leftists be humiliated in this life (which they are everyday) and the next.
We were already in socialist utopia in Murica, but one that was cleverly hidden. The kind of socialist utopia that we're in is one that only benefited one group of people: The top 1% wealthy; the MIC (Military Industrial Complex); the oil, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and farm lobbies. In America, it is only the poor working class that doesn't have a voice and a lobby group.
The Democratic party knows the discontent that exists within the voiceless poor. And while Republicans look the other way and focus on the corporations, the Democrats likes to play both sides even though they're 80% of the time on the corporation side. The only time Democrats remember the poor working class is when they need votes during the election season.
For instance, Biden campaigned to forgive all of student loan during the campaign in 2020. However, after he was elected, he stated he would look like a dictator without the congress assisting him if he tries to forgive student loan on his own. You noticed what he promised during the campaign was irrelevant. Even when Schumer (current Majority Leader of the Senate) went to him and advised him to start the $50,000 student loan forgiveness for each student, he wouldn't listen.
Now that he is doing bad in the polls, he is worried about losing both champers of US Congress, and becoming a de-facto a "lame-duck" president. So suddenly he remembered those poor working class group of people and only offered $10,000 student loan forgiveness just a few months before the election.
That should tell you the Democrats' "concern" for the working class is driven not by principles but by political considerations.
Republicans on their end don't care about the working class, but to hide it and redirect any anger from these group of people - who are the majority of the population, they play the race card by scaring the whites to vote for them, and if they don't blacks, Hispanics, and "leftist" groups would be coming for them.
They also scare the religious groups, telling them America would be destroyed if they don't support their anti-abortion and other anti-gay claims.
At the end, they serve the same forces (the top 1%), and all of these games are played on the minds of the poor masses. I personally would recommend to every Muslim not to vote for either of these 2 parties. Just mind your business and don't let slogans fool you.

Still voting Trump regardless
I am a leftist now? You're just throwing charges. I've never voted for any US president irrespective of a party.
It is true that he was a warmonger that dropped bombs on many countries. However, the false charges that you and other 'truthers" were running with have never been proven. You're telling me a guy who graduated from Columbia university and qualified for a law school in Harvard had a low GPA. I am not buying it.
Besides, Affirmative Action doesn't force the elite schools to lower the entrance criteria. It just allows minorities and women to be given a similar fair shot as white students from rich families. It monitors all schools who are recipient of federal aid money to allocate certain percentage to minorities and women. And the Somali kids that I know who gone into those ivy schools have all graduated with the top grades from their schools.
Simply because you bought into the never proven conspiracy theories that the right-wing throws around, it doesn't make it so. The reality is much different than from what you hear from those right-wing talk shows.
I don’t hate on anyone. I also don’t fight anyone. You the one bigging up people who wouldn’t do sh1t for you. Fighting white supremacy lol. You live in cuckoo land.Iska aamus doqonyahow xaarkiisa faraha la galaa. Hating people who have done no harm to you is the dumbest thing anyone can do.
I mean... look at this....
10 year old transgender model that transitioned at 4.5 years old with 2 transgender parents
we know which of the two parties are supporting this.... how can we possibly be okay with this??? I can't overlook this. and no way can I put my backing behind this. this is about as satanic as it gets. on what grounds should I willing to go along with this? this is so far over the edge. I would like for the Democrat party to be totally removed like the nazi party in Germany was after ww2. I don't want the Republicans to have total control but I can't think of anything that the Republicans are doing that compares to this.
He’s been sending money to Ukraine every week. Billions of dollars, I’m sure this will be fine.this will create inflation, where will he get 300 to 500 billion dollars?
also low income earning tax payer will pay for more educated and higher earning
sad sad day,
IF YOU PAID THE DEBT HE WOULD FEEL LIKE A IDIOT
NOTHING IS FREE, INFLATION WILL JUST GET HIGHER
Knowing how both parties bombed the Muslims in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and in other places into oblivion, and their unwavering support to Israel irrespective of its genocidal policies, it is good enough for me to stay clear from either party.
I was talking to other day an Iraqi Sunni Muslim. He confided to me the death of Sunni Arabs is 4 million people ever since the US invaded. They were either killed by the US and its allies or or maruading Shia militias. Today, a Sunni can't get a job in Iraq. They look his name, and if it includes Omar, Osman, Abu Bakar, or Mu'awiye, you don't get anything.
To me, America's elites irrespective of which "party" they belong to is the tooth of the same coin. No difference. CNN, Fox News, Washington Post, NYT, MSNBC were the places they champion these wars. I quit watching them. If I need to watch something in TV, it is mostly sports. That is it.
