I think the difference is that since he's the incumbent President people already have a general idea of his policy, whereas the Republicans who want him out need to provide an outline of what they would do differently instead of just talking shit about him. | ||

The Republicans don't talk about education enough for me. the problem with education (at least higher education) is that colleges are just big businesses too. Since nowadays it is basically a pre-requisite to have a degree (even if it isnt necessary for the work you are doing) colleges/universities know this and are able to just raise rates. IMO it seems like a big scheme between employers and universities. | ||

IMO it seems like a big scheme between employers and universities. That is true - and yes, higher education. But I would really like to see better education in the kindergarden to high school level equalized across the country. And when I hear stories about schools teaching creationism alongside evolution, or straight up dismissing evolution, it makes me very sad.

I'll watch their videos after the convention, thank you for informing me. *edit* a pair of cute jabs there at Romney. I'm sorta terrified of China, but I don't agree with how Romney wants to just shut them out. | ||
