The same GOP who cried Sore-Loserman during the Gore/Lieberman ordeal that was down to Florida. They need to get over it. The same mentality that says Obama is not a citizen is working here.
Manufacturing drops to a 28 year low......all the jobs lost, a new low every day with the W Administration, how far back can they take us?
Yes, some of the 50 year olds are trying to hang on until they can retire.....let's hope they make it.
Oh ya the steel industry, sigh all the jobs lost, all the vacant steel mills on the far south side of Chicago, all the steel business went to Japan years ago when they took scrap steel and made cars, parts, you name it.
They were way ahead of the game, what did the Steel industry do then? Ya, let all kinds of plants close after decades.
I'm calling Hank for some of that free money before it's all gone.
I told all of you Arnie was a nut case now the prisoner will break out.
I read about John Travolta's son it's so sad. He did have health problems all his life but no one who bury their child.
50 year olds being redeployed well I'm over that age and if they send me I'm going right to sleep. Now if they sent me to Afghanstan I'd just start walking to Iran since the President of Iran answered my email. Let's say Baghram then flagr a ride to Iran visit the President and then the Supreme Leader take a tour and learn about the culture. Yes then I'd come back to the States when someone with a brain is running the country. I think the Middle East has the best history and you can learn alot. I guess I'm not into discrimination and let Obama I like to listen and learn and not dictate to others but show by example.
