A buddy and I snuck out this AM to play nine holes at a nice 9 hole muni course in our area. This isn't Oakland Hills CC, this isn't Bloomfield Hills CC this is Birmingham municipal golf course Lincoln Hills. We're on deck waiting for a threesome to tee off. In it is an elderly gentleman a middle aged lady and Rick Wagoner.
Wagoner is the former head of GM shitcanned by the Obama administration. JIF After we finished my friend went over to the fence and looked in the lot. He turned to me and said "He's driving a Toyota." Actually his car was in the back of the lot and he couldn't see. Funny how you had the same curiosity that we did.
I'll give you a "sign" of the times.... Was driving in Largo, Fl. the other day and a guy on the street corner had a sign that read....." I don't need a beer......I just need a job!" Clever.....heart rendering and I have to say that if I had a job to give that guy would get it. Oh....by the way....the back of the sign said " I have three kids to feed".....
We know what the sign was refering to. Like millions of Americans who are starting to wake up, they sense that the joke in the White House is actually trying to take advantage of the current economic problems. He's trying to shove his national health care plan up our ass claiming that those losing their health insurance need it. Of course, since his ******** stimulus package hasn't done anything to stem the rising unemployment rate, his ineptitude is causing rather than solving the problem. When he talkes about the health bill he lies. It's that simple.
You are closer to the truth than you think, Dave. Obama inherited a bad situation and poured gasoline on it and lit it up.
George....I hope the people making DOW recover don't suddenly get the chills you have and make it go dramatically the other way. Other than that I can only say that I watched helplessly as the life I knew before was swept away in deep recession and unemployment in Depression like numbers up in Michigan.....all this in the years and months before Obama took office. It may be convenient to dump on the man currently presiding but I haven't forgotten how we arrived at such a state.
Perhaps you forgot that in the election for governor two years ago we had a candidate that told Michigan voters that what the state needed was jobs. He of course lost to that buffoon Grandholm whose campaign was something like running against Bush. She's pathetic but what do you expect when you get a candidate chosen by the UAW? Now we're more than half a year into the Obama administration. The "jolt" to the economy he proclaimed when he came up with his "stimulus package" is not even a nudge. We're spending trillions of dollars for nothing but debt. He's a hypocrital clown. He proposes a "cap and trade" bill to "reduce our dependence on foreign oil" but completely excludes nuclear power.' He proposed a "health care bill" to "lower health care costs" but conviently excludes tort reform. He and his econazi, liberal faciests are raping this country. Perhaps the millions of "voters" who voted for him will finally get over the death of Michael Jackson and pay some attention to what's going on in this country.
