The Government needs to get the consumers out there buying goods and services with seed money that the government should be giving to every adult American. Some would save theirs but most Americans would spend most of it. This is a consumer driven economy and without people spending money our system will fail. Also we can't let companies continue to contract out jobs and work, the people that are making good Union wages are the ones that will keep the economy running. Not the cheap labor that all the big companies are striving to get. The Postal Service is a very large problem because they are continually outsourcing Union Jobs. They are continually badgering our Unions and the Union's members to cut overtime or sick leave. They blame FMLA for their financial woes. They are mad that our members make Union wages and have Union benefits. We need to push the bill through that is currently collecting backers so that management has to negotiate with the Union before any contracting can ever happen. America needs to complain like crazy about what is taking place right now in the Postal service. President Obama should do everything in his power to make sure that Postal consolidation and outsourcing cease. Postal Management needs to be made to make the Postal Service succeed instead of creating problems that are designed to make the Postal Srvice fail. The Post Office looses billions of dollars in just the contract violations that they create and then have the nerve to complain about their lost revenue. In Seattle the Postal service is undoubtedly hiding numbers concerning mail volume. In fact this is surely the case all over the country. These guys like to hide alot of the real facts behind a bunch of flagerent lies. I think congress should hold a huge investigation on all the aspects of the Postal Service. They should check with all the Union officials and leave no rock unturned. Everyone the catch dirty should be fired. I don't have much faith in our current Postal board of governors. They need to be replaced. Mr. Bush had an agenda and the Postal Service was part of it. The big mailers are a huge part of the postal service's dilema. They want to privatize the entire operation so they can be in total control. These are the very things that need to stop. We can't afford to let people with these kind of plans to succeed. The President can't afford not to act. I urge everyone with the power to do something to fix the big problems with the Postal Service to step forward and help. Send People to all the major cities and investigate what has taken place. I mean a real thorough ivestigation that will undoubtedly take months to complete. I'm sure our Union leaders will be very helpful. Seattle would be a great place to start. They have people here that dispise Unions. Help is needed. An outcry is needed, and America needs their service oriented Postal Service back. Has anyone ever noticed how the lines are getting longer at our Post Offices? People we need to take back what is supposed to be performing a service to the public not trying to compete with private business. The Managers that run our Post Offices are deliberately breaking the National Agreement that both the Union and the Management leaders signed their names to, and then management dreams up ways to make the Postal Service fail so that Major outsourcing can occur. If things like this ends then we can begin to mend our ill economy.
We are a consumer driven country, and we are also in really bad financial trouble. It seems logical to me that besides shoring up the bankink and financial institutions we should be also helping the consumers by directly giving them money to spend. This should be the final step to kick start this economy. I believe that if the majority of Americans would spend all or almost all of that Ten thousand dollars this country and the world economy would improve substantially. The only people that wouldn't spend it would be the wealthy. The majority of the average folks would be spending like crazy because of the debt they are in.
Because the republican party chose to take the gamble and pick Sarah Palin as the Maverick's running mate, it may have cost them the election. They weren't counting on her being so dingy and so expensive. The American people are not going to be bamboozled by that little stunt. If McCain wants to ruin this country thats a good way to start. Nobody in their right mind would risk having her become President. I don't think the republican party would have won the election no matter who they picked. Mr Obama cannot be defeated in this election. He is destined to become the next President of the United States Of America.
Sarah Palin must be going nuts knowing full well she won't be vice pres. She is such a fake, I'm very happy that the American people saw through her crap. Now she can go back to Alaska and face the charges for troopergate. Someone should send her a bill for what she did when she was a mayor. I hope we never see her again. What a ditz.
When John McCain first picked Sarah Palin as his running mate it let the American people know that something was seriously wrong. Then as if it were meant to be, Sarah Palin has over and over pulled some stunt that kicked her own butt and everyones butt on the GOP ticket. She's an embarrassment to everyone on that ticket and a disgrace, but they can't replace her now because that would even be worse. Sarah will do anything to be in the spotlight. She is a totally spoiled attention seeker that would spend us into oblivion if given the chance. Sarah Palin should never be given the chance to run for any office big or small because she's all about herself.
The Republican campaign just can't help themselves when it comes to covering up their shortcomings or bad mouthing a real American Leader,The next President Of The United States Of America, Barack Obama. Sarah Palin always has a stupid excuse for everything, and I don't buy any of it. Now the media is saying that she normally buys her clothes at a thrift store, what a crock! Is this the same Sarah Palin that spent a ton of money redecorating her office when she was mayor not once but twice. The same Sarah Palin that spends tons of other people's money wherever she ends up. She's a spoiled princess for those of you that haven't figured it out yet. If she can't have her way she has a hissy fit. I wouldn't doubt it if she had something on McCain maybe an affair with Palin and he had to pick her as a running mate. Whatever the real facts are we'll never know, but I know that her and McCain aren't good for America. McCain is losing so badly in the polls not only because of Palin, but because he continually attacks Barack Obama with his smear campaigns instead of telling the American voters what they want to hear. Desperation is exactly what's driving the Republican party to their doom.
Palin just couldn't keep away from SNL. She just had to get in there to make things right. It's that same mentality that got her in trouble with the troopergate scandal. She is a real dum dum there is no question about that. This is the kind of mentality that will open fire on some country because she was wronged somehow. Obama must leave McCain in the dust, that ticket must not prevail!
Sarah must be very grateful to her sugerdaddy, when he was just getting started in politics she would have been how old? Maybe in diapers, maybe just a mistake in the making. When do you think she will try to repay the little town she ripped off when she was mayor? Maybe Never? She"s a dumb republican Lacky. She would show her back if it would gain her anything. Go Home Sarah!
I read on an advertisement that Sarah Palin scored a 120 on her IQ test. It must have been one of those short 2 minute tests on the web because she is too stupid to score over a 70 in a real one. What a dingbat, she can't think past her own selfish goals let alone what's good for the the working class voter in America. What she found was Mr. sugerdaddy McCain and his stupid Bush tactics. This country is so sick of Bush, McCain, Palin, and all the rest of those bought off Republicans. Go Home to Alaska where we won't have to hear from you anymore.
Failin Palin is up to her old tricks again by citing the same promises that Barack Obama uses in his campaign. If that's all she's got then she might as well hang it up because the American public isn't buying it. The McCain/Palin ticket is about done. The republican party has other people to sponsor. Why spend money on a losing ticket? It's not over yet but it may as well be. Poor little miss Palin finally met her match.
I predict that Failin Palin will take losing the election by 20% very hard. We might not ever see her run for anything again. I'll guarantee she won't take losing graciously. Sen McCain on the other hand will take this loss in stride. The Bush administration has already raped and plundered this country so he won't care either. Palin is so used to getting her way, this will be a big lesson for her. Someone should send her a bill for the 22 million dollar deficit she created when she was a mayor. What a disgrace.
John McCain will lose this election by a 20% margin. I predicted that number at the very beginning when McCain chose Failin Palin to be his running mate. I was watching CNN this morning and it showed Sen. Obama in front by 10%. If Sen. Obama follows my motto "When you have a commanding lead you need to kick it up a notch and leave your competition in the dust". I give Sen. McCain high praise for what he went through in Vietnam, but that doesn't mean he's qualified to run this country. The people in America want to have their lives back. We want money in the bank, food on the table, bills paid, a warm comfortable home, healthcare for our loved ones, a good paying job, the knowledge that our jobs are secure and won't be outsourced, and a clear road to retirement. McCain can't and won't do this for us, Sen, Obama will do this for us and more.
There are people that are out to discredit Barrack Obama just for the sole reason that he doesn't represent their interests. I'm telling America now that Barrack Obama is going to lead our Country and make it better and safer. What the negative blogs aren't tell you is that if this were all true that the news media would already be having afield day with it. If Barrack Obama was a criminal or had any kind of questionable history we would alreadt know about it. The FBI, the secret service, the republican party, and the democratic party has already done background checks on this man to the day he was born. So my advice to everyone is to stick to the facts that are true and call the hate mongers for what they really are, LIARS.
The world is sick and tired of the Bush administration. America used to be a country that that world respected and looked up to. Now we're the country that is known for its selfish self interests. Barrack Obama will be embraced by the world as not only a great leader of a great country, but as a leader with a great vision. Alot of people are looking at this election as something racial, I'll assure you it is not. The people in this country want to see things change. The people in this country are tired of being led by the nose by large corporations, and the rich. It's time to show this great country and the world what ordinary everyday working people can do. We have the chance to take back our country from the egocentric rich folks and make life better for the average family. We don't ask for much. All we really want out of life is a good paying job, a warm safe home, health care for our families, alittle bit of a savings for security, and a love for the great USA. It's time to elect the right leader we know is the right choice, BARRACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.
Since Sen. Obama has committed to helping and supporting the APWU someone might mention to him that the postal service employs almost one million employees and maybe it would be a good campaign stradegy to air some TV ads promising to Take Back Our Postal Service. Everyone in America knows the Post Office as a place to mail packages and get stamps. The American public has no idea of the attacks that the Postal Service employees are under every day of their career. If Sen. Obama could somehow mention that under his Presidency that all of the consolidations will stop, the different facilities would be left alone and not contracted out, that the airmail facilities at our major airports would be left intact and their leases renewed. The entire Postal Service should go under a huge investigation because the Bush administration has had a huge hand in trying to make it better for the large mailers. Could someone please pass this message on to Sen. Obama? I think that if done right Sen Obama could increase millions of votes by campaigning to make the Post Office right again and work for the good of the American Public instead of for the good of the big mailers. The big mailers are the big companies that produce all the advertisements we recieve all the time in our mail. Privatizing in this country is tearing our Unions apart, and we all know that Unions are for making sure that workers recieve a fair wage, fair treatment, and fair benefits so our families can enjoy the American Way Of Life.
Senator Obama"s campaign is pounding home the message of change. The television ads I've been seeing are sending a clear message of change concerning health care for all. Before the end of the month Mr. Obama's lead will be substantial, leaving John McCain to eat his dust. The McCain can't match what Sen. Obama is dishing out. If the did he wouldn't be agreeing with the Bush administration. All they can do now is bad mouth Sen. Obama and try to sling a little mud his way.
When Sen. McCain got in the trenches and started all this mud slinging he must have forgot to take his ginko biloba, because now Barrack Obama is bringing up the fact that McCain was hanging out with the Rebel Lovers. This must be where he gets all the Maverick crap him and miss wonderbrain are dishing out.
Failin Palin Took 7 years to get her bachelor degree, she doesn't know anything that would qualify her for being a vice president,and heaven for bid she never makes it that far. I find it hard to believe that america would be so stupid as to far for the line of junk she's serving up. Palin should be a scam artist, now that she's qualified for. She should continue being the soccer mom and offer the Russians a cookie for her backdoor.
Failin Palin is trying a last ditch effort to turn the tides on our next president. All I see the republican campaign doing is sealing their fate. The Republicans have figured out that they are quite sertainly going to lose this election. Now it is time for the Democratic Party to leave those dummies in the dust. It is time to kick it up a notch and make quite certain that the Republicans fail in any effort to gain ground.
Mr. Bush has done in many ways irrepairable damage to this country. We as the American people led by future President Obama will be fixing his messes for years to come. Sen. McCain has decided to buddy up to Mr Bush and agree with his ever failing policies and hence must lose this election. We as a country are sick and tired of failing, of getting our jobs outsourced, of losing our homes, of losing our money and investments. We will not tollerate a president that wants to tamper with Social Security. We need that money for our future and our childrens future. We will follow Barrack Obama into a more friendly future. A future filled with prospering Americans who will have voted for the right leader, not voting for someone that will follow a failed administration.
