AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.
Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!The "Greatest Generation" fought Hitler for freedom, put a man on the moon, and created wealth. The "Me Generation" spent their wealth, their own wealth, their kids wealth, and now they are going after the grand-kids. They wag their finger at the rest of the world while striking an imposing figure from atop a mountain of debt....and wonder where American Prestige has gone.

They face a lot of criticism that older folks like me did not face. With all the derogatory rhetoric that is so widespread they still display exemplary patriotism and character. Thanks, the country needs you.

Your payment per month is $579.96 with a total pay back of $139,190.40 .. now take same lone for 15 year payment $714.88 pay back $128,678.40 see the difference? Most people live beyond their means . Now lets take 8,00,000,000 small amount government owes at 3.5% for 15 years payment per month is $5,719,060.33 with total pay back of $1,029,430,859.40 this is small amount of government debt see how we need to quite spending and get government under control . the government spending is way beyond it's means unless we the tax payers want to work and give all are money to the government . Me, I would rather the government work for me.......

I mean the one said she voted for president Obama because he was so cool hanging out with Ashton Kutcher. How dumb is that? Another said he was being told what to do by President Obama all the time. I mean it is silly! And yet another one said President Obama wanted to be his doctor, banker etc... The only thing I can find fault with President Obama is that he is paying these ungrateful stupid students for a college education with my hard earned money to run silly ads like this! If they have almost $10,000 to waste on advertisements two years before the Presidential elections I think they have enough money to pay for their own education! What does that kid need a doctor for anyway? He looked pretty healthy to me, unless he was refering to a brain surgeon. I think President Obama should take back the Govt. grants and give me my money back. I don't want to invest in that kind of stupidity for the future. Lets hope these kids do not reproduce.

We've got Al Qaida brainwashing the young people in the Middle East, and we've got the Repulicans trying the same tactics on America's youth. This is really scary!

Seriously, if we are going to speak of that then we must speak of the "Obama Youth." I am a member of the UGA College Republicans, and when people like you say that Republican's are trying tactics like the "hitler youth" on America's college kids, it really irks me. First of all, going back to the Obama Youth, think about it, who elected Obama? The young first time voters. He achieved a "rockstar" status and people loved the idea of him being part of the "in crowd." Because teens as a whole are fairly ignorant about politics, they voted Obama in for that very reason. They didn't even have a clue as to his policies for the most part. I for one did not vote for him. I grew up in politics, seeing the ugly side of Government rear it's nasty head. Obama wants big government, more control for the few in D.C., and less control for the states. When has that ever worked in history. Please, be more informed before becoming judgmental.

They want to control free speech. They're taking over corporations in a Marxist-like regime and want to control your health care. Basically, they tell us "We know you don't want this but we know what's best for you so sit down and shut up" and the Obama supporters cheer and clap. People on the left truly are fascinating and funny creatures.
September 30 2010 at 8:49 AM Report abuse Permalink +5 rate up rate down ReplyI hate to say it, but let's face it, we need the Gov't to tell us to sit down & shut up... After all, we did that even after no WMD's were found, we did that even after Saddam was hung, but yet were still there. At the same time, the Dems were p*ssed that were still there after Obama said he would get them out asap & the Reps ciriticized Obama for staying, even though they wanted to "stay the course"... It's a shame the Gov't didn't step in early to correct the banks and telling Americans that after 2-3 years you won't be able to afford the payment on a $300,000 home while making a combined income of $75.000... We have very stupid people surrounding us & sometimes the Gov't NEEDS to step in..

That may be because they weren't even in college yet, and as long as mommy and daddy bought them their PS3's and X-Boxes, they didn't care about the debt...

Obama the almighty. Well, excuse me. Open your ears. This idiont lies the minute he opens his mouth. Not to mention the Chicago mob that he has placed in position within government. Oh yeah, he is a hero. This man doesnt deserve the office. More important, he is ruing the office. If you people want all these entitlements, given to you by the fruits of MY labor, go and live in your socialist countries overseas. Get off your backsides, earn a living, pay for what you get in this world. But must important, get a little ,pride. COME NOVEMBER.
