Where are the green jacket guy and wailing woman (from Lebanon) when you need them as extras?

Oh yeah, I hadn’t thought of them. They would be great cast in the roles of victims of Romney’s corporate greed and indifference.

He’s trying to get the young vote back by appearing on a college campus and showing his shuck and jive. Note to Obama: The youth are sick and fed up with you. I would be too if I had just gotten my college degree and there were no jobs to be found anywhere.

What better way to show the importance of education than by forcing the cancellation of 186 classes and otherwise disrupting Grounds on the second day of the semester.

Wah-Hoo-Wah!

He doesn’t need a university setting...can’t he just set up
the cardboard Greek columns in a landfill somewhere?
At least he’d be with his fellow Rats!

DAMN! That’s like being rebuked by the DNC.

Actually traffic control is the big problem. But if this was 2008, they would have begged him to come. Now, sorry, everything is being cleaned that day.
When Michelle came to Virginia Tech this year, they drove her up from Roanoke. They shut down the local road just for the motorcade only. Same with Biden. And they let Biden wander the Drillfield.

I don't think the Emperor has lost academia.

The University rejected the request, IMHO, because if they had accepted it they would have to also give Mitt a venue. Since the university accepts Federal Money they are required to provide equal time for both parties.

It would be very embarrassing if the Emperor's venue pulled in a few hundred and Mitt's venue pulled in a few thousand.
