President Obama faces a daunting task. How to get reelected during the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression. Any follower of politics will tell you it's the economy that gets politicians elected. When the economy is good the incumbents breeze back into office. When the economy is in shambles, many incumbents will lose their job.

Of all the difficult problems that the Obama administration is dealing with; I can guarantee you that the most important issue is how to get reelected. Everything else pales in comparison. So how does Obama plan to get reelected? Well the first indication of his strategy is his jobs bill proposal. Which is really a smaller version of his failed stimulus plan that was designed more to reward his political backers than to actually get the economy moving again. Maybe that is why ithas had such a dismal track record. Unfortunately for Obama he is not doing a very good job of convincing the public that stimulus light is going to do any better than stimulus 1.

Then all of a sudden up sprang the Occupy Wall Street protest. Whether the initial protest was spawned by Obama and the Progressives as some evidence seems to suggest, or if it was an actual grass roots event; Obama and the Democrats have reached out to embrace it as the Liberal answer to the Tea Party. It may even be that the political elitist think they have stumbled on the new way to run an election campaign. But I digress...

Whatever the origin of the movement is, it has captured the attention of Obama's media minions. As the public watched with some interest, and some trepidation, we all wondered what was the goal of this protest? What are the demands? What are they trying to accomplish. I am not sure the participants themselves even knew. After some days it appears that one group in particular was in high attendance, young unemployed college graduates. And one of the demands that kept comingup was their demand to have all of their student loan debt forgiven.

Finally a core platform of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The premise was that their large student loan debts was the fault of Wall Street financiers. Their demand is that all their debts should be forgiven and a job should be provided to them. After all it is the least that all the Wall Street Fat Cats could do considering all the harm they have done to the students by providing them with a vehicle that allowed them to attend college. Obviously here was a clear grievanceto be exploited by the party of grievances, the Democrats.

So now President Obama in a miraculously fast amount of time has created a whole new plan to yep forgive student loan debts. Some estimate that this new program will add another trillion dollars to the national debt. Another promise by Uncle Sugar to take from the producers to buy votes to keep himself in office. But what is another trillion dollars of debt on America's future when it means whether we keep Obama as our President or not.
