While most people were focused on the abortion-charged commencement address given by President Obama at Notre Dame University, his previous engagement at Arizona State University went comparatively unnoticed.

During his speech to ASU, President Obama warned the graduates about the recklessness of carrying too much debt, and encouraged them to reject the goals of monetary and individual achievement, including title and status, in pursuit of a higher goal.

We agree that people shouldn’t confuse material success with happiness, so we appreciate his message, but coming from this President of the United States, it seemed too hypocritical to let go unchallenged.

    Love the video, it points it out perfectly. He is the essence of what is contrary to his message.
    Carrying too much debt, what a joke with this guy, he is the epitomy of too much debt which will destroy our country, and he doesn’t seem to care about that fact.

    “President Obama warned the graduates about the recklessness of carrying too much debt, and encouraged them to reject the goals of monetary and individual achievement, including title and status, in pursuit of a higher goal.”

    he tells our young folks not to carry too much debt because he knows they are the ones who will have to pay the High debt he has placed our nation into.

    He tells them to lower their goals while he keeps he high and n mighty goals out front to grab for at the expense of the American people.

    Yes, these are the words of the Ultimate in Hypocrisy that any man could have made.

    As Dick Martin would say, one flying fickle finger of fate Award goes to Barak Obama. Good night Dick.

    how vicious and brutal was his campaign against his fellow dems? what about after he won the nomination and actually fought for presidency?

    how high and lofty are his career goals?

    what about all the bs “hope” he was selling everyone on?

    the “hope” to be mediocre and spendthrifty? haha.

    what a bunch of bologna.

    I respect that the President doesn’t support torture but isn’t it interesting that he supports abortion. Could that be an OBABMAMORON?? Later…Carole
