Birds Of A Feather?

Another politician is borrowing Obama’s campaign slogan, Yes We Can.

Dream Press Conference

I would love to put two ordinary middle class people side by side at an Obama press conference and ask the following question:

Mr. President, you recently strong-armed companies with secured credit against Chrysler to accept much less than the law allows in order to give more back to unions who had unsecured credit against Chrysler. It’s a well-known fact that many of these companies, such as hedge funds, are investing the retirement money of ordinary people who are no different from the ordinary people who belong to unions. Mr. President, can you stand here and look at these two ordinary, middle class people and tell which one is going to lose his retirement money as a result of your actions, and can you look this person in the eye and explain why the person standing next to them deserves more consideration than they do, despite the fact their money was unsecured, and by law it was more at risk? Can you explain why one person’s retirement means more to you than the other?

UPDATE - Obama has now decided that we don't need repayment of the $7 Billion in taxpayer money he gave Chrysler since January as a bailout to keep them from going into bankruptcy. So, let's get some ordinary, middle class taxpayers to stand right beside the person mentioned above and O can tell us ALL why labor unions deserve their money but we don't.

5...183...What's The Difference?

The media was all over the fact that one of the terrorists behind 9/11 was waterboarded 183 times.

Turns out to be a gross exaggeration. Bet you won’t read or hear about this in the MSM.

Stands To Reason

Since the government has already stepped in and taken ownership of banks and financial institutions based on their bailouts, I have wondered why the government did not take ownership of the auto companies as well. Instead, the unions are taking ownership, including 55% of Chrysler.

I guess it stands to reason, though, since the unions own 87% of the Democratic Party.
