School has been used as a detention system for years.

I’m adjunct instructor at a community college. Adjuncts comprise two-thirds of the nation’s university and college faculty. Why? The schools save a lot of money. Adjuncts are paid like custodial staff or worse with no benefits. Some are on food stamps. Institutions of higher learning have adopted the “Walmart” business model. Out of that $12B you’d think they could throw us a few crumbs. But it won’t happen. It’s on no one’s radar. Full-time, tenured faculty are being phased out by this pernicious system as well. It also compromises the quality of instruction, but that is no one’s main concern. Main concerns are “partnering with business…”
Shameful!

I want Chicago School Barry Obama take on the chronic unemployment/underemployment in the black(not latinos-unless they’re Puerto Rican the others are here illegally) ghettoes in America that preceded the newest recession/depression.  Where’s Van Jones and his environmental jobs program?  Having blacks build and install solar panels, affordable green housing,  construct sustainable gardens in their neighborhoods would do a lot to alleviate the fifty-percent plus unemployment rates without frightening white ethnics and near whites who see the ghettoes as a stepping stone up the class ladder.  So would making it difficult for border-hopping latinos to come in and work for cheap.  Stop makeing American cities sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants and those from British diaspora(UK,Canada/Irelan/Scotland/South Africa/Australia-New Zealand) move/work freely.  Until you racists get over your phobia against the descendants of slaves/Jim Crow victims of segegation NOTHING will change in AmeriKKKa.

Yeah, blame Obama.  Now I see why he thinks some people need education.  Some folks cannot remember who bailed out Wall Street instead of America.
Hell, it was less than a year ago.

What we really need is a honest old fashioned FDR type of jobs program. I am sure Michelle Obama will be a worthy successor to Eleanor Roosevelt. Painters, sculptors and unemployed Rap artists will be given government sponsored jobs.

He seems to be out of touch with the real problems, it isn’t getting more educated, except for those without even basic degrees, like his own people, minorities now the majority, and people who have double and triple degrees who are middle-aged still can’t get jobs due to age discrimination and lack of the industries and the jobs that were there, and no mind for learning whole new subject areas like health sciences.  Some people don’t have a mind for one subject or another, and with industry gone, manufacturing gone, so are the potential opportunities. Obama should be extending unemployment indefinitely, and should bring back Welfare for the long-term unemployed with their educations and give tax credits to those who do take courses to make career changes.

He’s dreaming and talks and spends, but his actions are weak and ineffective.  He spent a fortune on a family trip and for dates with his wife, and a picture postcard shot on Airforce One. He took the flights at taxpayer expense and is alreaday abusing the office by overspending and delivery little.  Pathetic. I realize I was misled in voting for what I thought was a messianic figure. Too bad he is all hot air, weakness and anti-Israel, anti-gay and lesbian rights no matter what he says one moment or another. It is just words to him, empty promises. He disappoints everyone I know. I am still jobless with two Masters degrees and UE is running out.  There isn’t a single opportunity without thousands of applicants for the one spot and the one who is shown nepotism and favoritism and who is young will get the job vs. me.
