Kansas City has been spared much of the unemployment woes of the rest of the country, but I swear, every person that I know personally who has lost their job in the last few months is a lib who voted for Obama (every single one). I always want to ask them how that hope and change thing is working out, but of course I don't. It sucks when anyone that wants to work can't find any.

My guess is that you are drawing a conclusion that people are losing their jobs as a result of the Obama policies. Correct?
Can you offer some connection?
Thanks

Yes, I'd like to hear how that's connected also.

I personally know one "bigshot" (I won't say the corporation) who has at least once, picked the layoffs by Obama bumper stickers in the parking lot. He said "Well, they wanted change".

Which only reinforces my opinion of most businessmen.

As a business owner in Michigan the rest of the country is now feeling what we have known for years. Thanks to our democratic gubner who instituted much higher biz taxes years ago. Tax the shit out of businesses and chase them out of Michigan ? Lovely policy if you asked me

I only hope that Obama tries to stop the hemorrhage of jobs that past presidents allowed, and in some cases encouraged, in all states.

Too late. I think China got all our jobs that were once in manufacturing.

The line you quoted as mine was part of a forward i received. Should have made that clear...sorry. I had never heard Ward Churchill's name previously but looked him up...
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/i...asp?indid=1835

The whole campaign was about Obama and Palin. When Hilary was eliminated...everyone focused on gossip and lies. We need to get back to intelligence and morality in Washington. When was the last time you heard a child say he wanted to be president when he grew up? As for Ward...enough radicals...already!!!

Probably why Wally World's purchases from there have tripled.
