Obama Comes to GTCC, but it's all a facade.


Not quite law school huh?

So let me get this straight. Obama is coming to the campus of GTCC, my campus, during school hours and the administration refuses to let us out of class. We're supposed to becoming thinking participants in this society and we're following some silly procedure?

To make matters worse is they're blockading half of campus. The half that my exam is in to be precise. It is suggested we show up before 7:00 because this is before they block off the roads into campus. One small problem, some of us have kids due at school at 8.

So not only can poor average students not get access to see Obama, but we can't even get to class because of his secret service. Seriously? So GTCC is being used as a set, a facade of education and poverty for him to deliver his speech, when he should be in Washington getting me health-care and free college.

Several students were selected, and pre-screened by the selective service for the "impromptu" meeting with the President.
