WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama is bringing together university presidents from across the country together to exact commitments from each other to expand access to higher education.

The Marxist Tool is at it again. MASSIVE redistribution of wealth.

[shove_it]

Surely Hillsdale’s President will be invited to contribute his ideas.

[CincyRichieRich]

I hope someone sneaks a pic of him and Bill Ay3rs.

[Sybeck1]

Wish someone would post salaries of the attendees with income inequality and all.

[Blue Turtle]

Remember when he invited all the ‘healthcare’ companies to the white house?

[LibLieSlayer]

A Politburo meeting... oh goody!

[BitWielder1]

What's the problem with the current access?
You can either pay for it or qualify for it and get a scholarship.
Oh, he wants access for people who can't pay and don't qualify.
On taxpayer dime no doubt.
I really don't think we need more daycare centers for young adults.

I have seen this movie before.

The heads of an industry get called to the White Hut.

They are told their industry is being nationalized. They have the choice to either cooperate or face destruction.

They cooperate.

This is no longer about wealth or money of ANY kind ... THIS is all about indoctrination.

Girls gone wild ?

You ain't seen NUTHIN' yet.

I wouldn't send my child to any college except Hillsdale and known and proven, separated Christian schools.

There MUST be a remnant.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Isn’t there already great access to college opportunities, for all who wish to go to college? What am I missing? Do we really need affoirmative action, so to speak, to provide greater access to a college education than we already have?

I hate to ask, but does Obama think we need some major new government program in this area???

The reality is that America has a surplus of philosophy and puppetry graduates and a shortage of people who can run machinery and do HVAC work.

We hardly need the taxpayers to subsidize the former group anymore.

[Sooth2222]

Because the inflation in college costs makes the cost of Obamacare look reasonable? (Maybe he's looking for PR pointers.)

Tuitions are sky high. Meanwhile someone like Sandusky fights to keep his $4,900 monthly pension from Penn State.

Sperling used the word “Inequality” twice in one Run-On sentence and blamed parents who put theit kids first for causing that Inequality. This reminds me of an Oprah show I watched on a Sick Day. One guest said that equality can only be achieved by NOT teaching White children for 100 years.

[Vigilanteman]

Hillsdale! You mean that naughty un-PC college who has their own group of lenders to finance student loans at rates substantially less than SallieMae and other crony capitalist partners?

Why, if their model spread (and it is already starting to do so), then the entire educrat house of cards could collapse!

[massgopguy]

I remember the “Doctors” who all wore White jackets handed to them by WH staff. Maybe Obama will hand out Gown and Mortar Board to the academics.

[Albion Wilde]

To tell them what — “Good job for distorting the nation’s history and making our youth feel guilty and evil for being American!”?

[NautiNurse]

dumBO gets a photo op. What do they get?

Promises of unicorns and rainbows for encouraging fellow twenty-somethings to enroll in ObamaCare.
