Re: Hoffa makes a A*S out of Himself for Obama
I can't say I am a big fan of Obama mainly because he doesn't seem to have enough fight in him. But just out of curiosity, who do you think you can vote for out of the current pack that has declared who would serve your best economic interests?
On the republican side I am assuming you mean? If thats the case, NONE of them.
They all support the same old failed policies of the republican party. Lowering taxes on the rich and raising taxes on the middle class to make up for those cuts. The record is clear. In two administrations ( Reagan and GW BUSH2) Cutting the tax rates for the top 1% hurt the country and caused large deficits.
Of all the current candidates, NOT ONE of them is asking a major corporation to return jobs to the states and pull them out of third world countries. Instead, they want to sell us the concept that our childrens futures will depend upon mom and pop shops at minimum wage and no benefits.
They repeat, as if its a good thing that 70% of all new jobs are from small business, aka McDonalds and service related industries, and they NEVER talk about career jobs like factories or large corporations.
Why is that? Why do people accept this concept? Why are the republicans who continue to vote against their own best interests willing to accept this concept?
Rick Perry has the LARGEST number of minimum wage jobs in his state. Of all his "job creation" glory, 70% of those jobs are at minimum wage and non union. How does that make him a job creator?
Herman Cain ran two businesses into the ground. His pizza company that someone else created was profitable until he took the reigns and ran a business loss in his first 10 years that he "owned" the business. How does that make him a job creator? He sat on a board of an energy company where he sold the idea to the employees to transfer their retirement funds into company stock, and the company folded causing millions of dollars of loss for the employees, and at the same time, Cain and his board members paid themselves tens of millions of dollars in bonuses and were eventually sued by the employees and forced to pay back tens of millions of dollars to the employees.
How does that make him a good businessman?
Michele Bachman is just plain mentally challenged. Her thinking is so backwards its not even worth defining.
Sarah Palin hasnt had a successful anything in her career. As mayor of a little Chitthole in Alaska, she ran up a deficit of 5 million dollars leaving the city broke. As governor of Alaska, she racked up 37 ethics charges that forced her to leave office in order to escape those charges. She has paid back the state thousands of dollars of illegally used tax payer money to settle some of the charges.
Newt Ginrich. He even still alive? This guy is so out of touch with reality its not even funny.
John Huntsman, here's a guy without a clue or support from his own party. nuff said.
Mitt Romney, what has he done? He started an identical health careplan as obamacare and it works! He flips on all issues and sounds like obama depending on the day. His claim to fame? Running a company that took over other companies and put people out of work. Romney has been responsible for placing tens of thousands of employees on the unemployment line. Is this what america needs? Another republican to lose jobs? Wasnt BUSH enough for everyone? Bush lost 11.8 million jobs as president for 8 years. Obama has lost 2 million and most of those were planned cuts going back to 2008.
Ron Paul, heres a guy with good ideas. Hes practical, hes smart, hes dedicated to his country, he takes no crap from anyone, he speaks his mind, but hes old as phuque. You cant put an old man in office. It just doesnt work.
So to answer your question, Ill stick with Obama. I agree, he has gotten weak since taking office, he needs to get in peoples faces and demand they take action. Im sick and tired of him trying to be friends with the republicans. They are not his friends, and they surely arent our friends.
Peace.
