I dont like either, but I am in college and Obama has been supporting the arts and students. The Republicans pulled the pell grants and if Obama loses a lot of American students in for profit colleges are fucked.

I feel like your being sarcastic here due to your specific refrence to "For profit" colleges.

As Obama went out of his way to try and make it harder for "For Profit" college students to get student loans... only for it to be struck down in federal court.

I never said a word about loans, I said pell grants. Loans are half the reason a certain amount of students have not been going to college in the first place. Quite a few for profit colleges owned by EDMC are under review from the government the unethical practices while taking government money. I dont care about loans, people dont need to be further in debt, but the pell grants are needed. The only people I feel bad for who have loans are the students whom are already in colleges, and half of those are transferring to other colleges with their credits so they can graduate without having to pay back the loans until after graduation. At least then they will have a degree and a job when they pay back their loans. 

My money is betting that if Romney wins oversight on fraudulent for profit colleges will be lifted, especially the ones owned by Goldman Sachs. Last I checked they were contributing very well to him.
