I guess there's little to be said, apparently I hear different things coming from Obama's mouth then you. As I listen yesterday to what he said it was very clear he did not want the UAW to take ALL the blame but blame must be shared by ALL parties involved. Maybe you missed it.
If your parents who for whatever reason had a difficult time early in there life's would they want you to experience the same thing if it could be prevented?
May I remind you that the US worker is one of if not the most productive and hardest workers in the world.
Great. So while we enjoy clean air we've forced industry to move elsewhere thereby weakening the economy and not impacting global pollution to any significant degree. My point with this statement is that the pendulum as swung to far...
Your kidding right? You think we should sacrifice the air we breath, the water we drink? Would it not make better sense to negotiate with countries who we trade with so we start to uplift their environmental standards? The next time your coming down the Northeast Extension look to your left before you reach the tunnel and you'll see what our environmental standards did in the not so distant past. There's a reason there are no trees on those hills, or the next time on I-80 in the western part of the state where you can see first hand streams that run yellow from mine acid. Yea, that's what we should be leaving future generations!
Please put the Kool-aid down and back away from the table! Wasn't the notion of a tax "freeze" part of the other party's platform?
I don't like Kool-aid. Again if your were listening to what Obama has said, he's pointed out that everything would be on the table. After the election as the economy worsened and as he consulted with his advisers they decide that now would not be the time to increase taxes on anyone but to wait until the economy rebounds. He's also said time and time again ( you would know that if your listening) that these policies will remain fluid. If over a given amount of time their not working they'll try something else. I do remember quit clearly the other party's platform " Obama will rise 75% of everyone's taxes" .
As for Rhetoric you might be confusing that with hope. Hope my friend is what people need at the moment. A person who can offer hope, a person who will lead an inspire will take office a month from today. So don't take the bus with Chris and I, you'll be missing one hell of a good time!
I hope everyone has a great holiday and a Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
