"You're entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts."

Student Loan Forgiveness, the end of war in Iraq, pushing for the American Jobs Act - President Obama is not backing down. The Fall Edition of the Donkey is keeping things in perspective.

As 2012 nears, we'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on current US politics, foreign policy, and address Obama's status as of late. We'll play highlights of his jobs speech and twitter interviews, listen to criticism that has erupted, and view some of the Occupy Wall Street footage (is comparison of OWS to the Tea Party movement on par?); maybe even hear a little from the Republican debate. We will also discuss our presence on the web and how everyone can help out leading up to the campaign.If there's a video you'd like us to play, let us now!

There will be FREE REFRESHMENTS

Obama's major accomplishment this week extinguishing bin Laden, his new campaign slogan setting its sights on "the future", and patriotic partisan shifts all touch on the idea of victory.
