In case you missed it, this morning at the National Governors Association annual meeting, President Obama praised Maryland’s “smart choices” that have enabled us to nearly eliminate the $1.7 billion structural deficit we inherited in 2007 and preserve our AAA bond rating, while at the same time investing to keep college affordable and create the #1 schools in America for five years in a row.

Can we make it a illegal for a politician to lie cheat and steal?
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? Maryland is in the toilet and Obama is praising this? Geesh.
ReplyDeleteAs for college being affordable tuition has actually gone up in the last couple of years but there is more to it than that.
Simply put college is not for everyone. There are people better suited to the trades or manufacturing jobs. We as a society need to make the economy work for everyone - not just the college educated.
O'Malley's actual record won't matter if the Dems feel he's ready for politics at the national level.
ReplyDeleteMaryland Smart Choices? That would be:
ReplyDelete1) Not to vote for O'Malley again
2) Not to vote for Obama again
3) Not to vote for Liar, Thief, Cheater and Scam Artist Politician
4) All Of The Above
