Can you help me understand if this is true, and how it all works together?

Why haven't they taken and used their own advise? 53 trillion dollar debt. That is a whole lot more then the 9 trillion dollar debt the media reported just a couple of years ago. Add to that the 700 billion dollar bailout on top of all the other bailouts that the government has done in just these past 5? years. So I think that 53 trillion dollar debt could very much be right on the mark, considering inflation and interest. Maybe we should've stayed on the gold stanard.

What does that say about the University he is working for? What does that say about all the students that have sat in and are sitting in his classroom? This comment goes way beyond accusing Obama of being a terrist and if I was the students and University!!!! Hi Anderson,
