Well since the government does not have any money, except borrowed, stolen, or printed maybe they shouldn't give these types of programs to anyone.


The bailout money has to be paid back over the 10 years or so, somehow.
The more taxpayers they have in the pool contributing the better.
If they see a huge untapped group of people who they feel could make a huge contribution in the future, they'll target them.

Not saying I agree with it entirely, but I can see the logic in it.

Lol It feels like you have re-phrased my theory, in many less words.

Glad not everyone will think I am insane, then.


HAHA i didn't mean to sorry bout that i actually just read your post now and it looks like i did. We are right though i have read education white papers saying that the "family" is bad so Obama preaching this makes perfect sense.

Dissolve the family unit the child is theirs

Where is your link? I haven't even seen a direct quote.
How anyone can even comment on it without seeing the quote is beyond me, yet we have 2 pages of argument ...

Well….I guess if you live in the center of Bologna, and don’t have TV or cable news, you would have missed it.
It must not have been a big thing to NBC, CBS, ABC, or CNN, because after it was aired, it wasn’t mentioned again.
Here is my 0.36 second search on Google.

Being a straight white male has done me more good then harm. Sure didn't close doors in my face. Maybe you should have said "Loser Straight White Males". I've come across a lot of those in my lifetime.

I think you're looking a little too hard into the issue. So let me get this straight...these women lose out on a career to raise children, then what happens when these children grow up and no longer need adult supervision? They end up with a lot of free time and no formal education, thus they can't get a decent job.
Am i to assume that you think that teaching children proper grammar, mathematics, a foreign language and social studies BRAINWASHING? I guess I've been brainwashed to think critically and be a snobbish elitist. I guess my teachers were always right, education is a luxury, good thing i actually took advantage of it...

And I still don't see a quote from Obama... I did find that he's offering scholarships for moms who WANT to go back to school, but people are spinning this to be something it's not. (Oooh! There's a new one!)

He actually
promised that he would make these grants available to moms who WANT to return to school. So, this is yet again, one of his campaign promises being fulfilled and people are twisting it to be something bad about him. I guess if you can't find anything really bad, and you just NEED to rag on Obama, you have to make things up.

It's for Fathers, too!


The scholarship plan is very well devised and focuses on the education of both fathers and mothers and the grant requirements are fairly simple and easy to apply for. Since the start of his tenure, President Obama has emphasized on bringing the change in American ideology and help them prosper once gain out of ongoing recession since a couple of years. In order to make that change, the Obama Administration came up with the plan to educate America and to make sure the strategy works, it has specifically targeted American household game runners; the parents.

Since the education can lead to more success and better lifestyle of an American Family, the scholarship applies to the American mothers who can get the education they always wanted and grow in to become professional working individuals while supporting their families financially as well. This way, with more and more getting the motivation to become more specialized and skilled individuals, the economy would progress by itself in that it would be run by people who know their role.

The grants pay up to 10,000 dollars every year to each individual as per the stipulation of the scholarship plan and the requirements are simple.


How terrible that he would offer a $10,000 per year scholarship so people in this country can get a higher education and have a better lifestyle and help improve the economy and jobs situation! What a jerk he is!



Another Campaign Promise fulfilled!
