I could not help myself; I had to add this to demonstrate just how he intends to finish his destruction of our America. He is losing those out of school, so he goes to the students, taught by radical liberal professors and teachers in hopes they will rescue him, so that he can continue his path of destruction. There is no end to what he will do to finish and achieve his flawed agenda. God help our kids, they are really in trouble, and they are being taught no to listen to us, their parents, but to defy our values and take on his. If we love them, and I know we do, we will do all we can to show them the way back to who we are, and will always be, "We the People", the defenders of our nation and constitution. We must not let them down; we must at the very least try, and hope it is not too late!

Obama gets warm reception from Facebook crowd
By Sara Jerome - 04/20/11 06:59 PM ET
President Obama took his re-election pitch to Silicon Valley Wednesday in an event at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif.
Billed as a town hall meeting, and set up as an interview with questions culled from the users of Facebook, the event became more of a rally, with Obama winning generous applause from the crowd of Facebook employees and admiration from the star-struck host, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
"Sorry, I'm kind of nervous," Zuckerberg said. "We have the President of the United States here."
Obama defended his economic agenda to ovations from an audience sporting a number of prominent Democratic allies, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and California Reps. Anna Eshoo, Mike Honda and John Garamendi.
The president skewered the Republicans for their budget proposal that, he said, would harm Americans who are most vulnerable. He reiterated his call to raise taxes on the nation’s top earners, a plan which billionaire Zuckerberg assessed with a nonchalant endorsement.
"I'm cool with that," Zuckerberg said.
Obama strongly criticized House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) proposal to curb entitlement spending, which he characterized as an attack on the Americans most in need.
"I don't think it’s particularly courageous," Obama said. "Nothing is easier than solving a problem on the backs of the people who are poor….and don't have lobbyists and don't have clout."
The event was consciously geared toward younger voters, with Obama commending Facebook for "revolutionizing how people get information and how they connect with one another."
He made self-effacing references to his age, noting that many of the viewers streaming the event at home "were still in diapers" during the economic boom times of the Clinton era. He said young people should get involved in the election and encouraged them not to be "frustrated" by the bickering in Washington.
"Especially the young people here, the younger generation…you're going to be the ones to live with the consequences," Obama said.
He also pitched the Silicon Valley set on policies aimed at invigorating a high-tech economy.
To applause, he touted the need for high-tech visas because "we can't find enough computer scientists" and called for a boost to math and science education, particularly for girls and minorities.
Obama said he wanted people to feel the kind of enthusiasm for the next big high-tech breakthroughs as people once felt regarding the nation’s lunar missions.
For the tech community, Obama’s relationship with Zuckerberg, a celebrity in his own right, was on display as much as the campaign promises.
Obama patted himself on the back for inspiring the social networking CEO to ditch his trademark hoodie for a jacket and tie.
"I'm proud of that," Obama said.
Obama also said he noticed Zuckerberg sweating at a dinner of tech mavens earlier this year.
"You're a lot better at this stuff than me," Zuckerberg acknowledged.
To cap the event, Zuckerberg presented Obama with a Facebook souvenir: a hoodie similar to his own.
"This is a high-fashion statement right here," Obama said.

Comments (76)PAGE 12 ... 45>This quote came from the Czech Republic:
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the
follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their
president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It
is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

@Invictus - I've always suspected Republicans worship the opinions of Czechoslovakian s. When do you plan to move there? By the way I just got an email from the Czech Republic. It seems a Czech guy of noble descent is offering a chance to buy shares in a diamond mine in Africa. It's a rare and one time offer, I'll forward it to you. Just send him the $$, you'll be rich!!

Obama is still banking that the youth are stupid. Little does he know the youth sees there are no job opportunities outside of McDonald's that are waiting for them. They also realize that he is pissing away their future with his insane spending. These kids aren't dumb, but don't tell Obama that.
He can't connect with this group, because he talks down on them These kids are smart and they can rat out a fake in a second. His gig with this group is over. He needs to try to focus on talking down to 1st graders.

LIAMD2- Ha ha ha. I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg has no responsibilites and pays no taxes. Just another stupid young person.

At some point the media is going to say "Hey, this Obama fella is sure tuned into the electronic media. But when you listen to what he says, he makes no sense whatsoever."
