Workers did not lose everything. Try to keep it honest for a change. The company did indeed makes some money during the years prior to the dumping...what point are you trying to make?

Your *"end result"* has not one thing to do with cause and effect. You again prove you are totally simple. I hope you don't believe others are as dumb as you. I am sure there are some, but not all.

The Narcissist-in-Chief Adds Self To Presidential Bios-Is The Gettysburg Address Next? Email This BlogThis! Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Talk about delusions of grandeur, the White House website contains biographies of each of the men who held the office of President. Recently the Narcissist-in-Chief decided to embellish each of the biographies beginning with Calvin Coolidge. The embellishment? A mention of a milestone achieved by his most favorite person in the entire world---Barack Obama. This is what the Coolidge addition looks like: Did you know? On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people. President Coolidge later helped create the Federal Radio Commission, which has now evolved to become the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc. Silent Cal was a small government president who used budget and tax cuts to create what came to be known as the Coolidge prosperity. He is probably spinning in his grave about being tied to big budget Obama in any way, no matter how benign. Another fun one is Truman: Did you know? In a 1946 letter to the National Urban League, President Truman wrote that the government has "an obligation to see that the civil rights of every citizen are fully and equally protected.” He ended racial segregation in civil service and the armed forces in 1948. Today the Obama Administration continues to strive toward upholding the civil rights of its citizens, repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, allowing people of all sexual orientations to serve openly in our armed forces. Hey he forgot to mention that progressive hero Woodrow Wilson segregated the military. Shouldn't the second half read this way? Today the Obama administration continue to strive toward uphold the civil rights of its citizens (except for people of faith), cops who arrest African-American professors in Cambridge, and Caucasian voters who are intimidated by New Black Panther thugs. He is also the first president to use rac e as a weapon of political intimidation branding anyone who disagrees with him a racist. He really gets creative with JFK: *Did you know?* President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: “Ask what you can do for your country.” In 1961, the Peace Corps was created, facilitating service among citizens working toward peace in developing countries. In 2011, President Obama celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a Presidential Proclamation. Notice anything missing from the Kennedy quote? It began with "Ask not what your country can do for you..." Of course "not asking what your country can do for you" is abhorrent to a progressive like Obama. Not surprising is that Obama ignored the 20% across the board tax cuts originally proposed by Kennedy, signed by LBJ and resulting in prosperity. (if you cannot see video below please click here) Somewhere in heaven Ronald Reagan is saying, "Well...there you go again." As President Obama lies about what Reagan said over a quarter century ago. Did you know? In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffett Rule. Technically the first sentence was correct. Reagan did call for a fairer tax code, but not by raising taxes on the rich but by simplifying the tax code and lowering tax rates. With lower personal and corporate rates and another capital gains tax cut, small and entrepreneurial businesses will take off. Americans will have an open field to test their dreams and challenge their imaginations, and the next decade will become known as the age of opportunity. American industry will benefit, too, because the billions that are presently being squandered on the loopholes—things like jojoba bean shelters, racehorse write-offs, windmill farms, and luxury lunches for business executives-will be reinvested in the productive economy, where it will build new factories and businesses, create new jobs, and finance the new inventions that will keep America number one in the world market. Read them all but and try to keep a straight face. The White House claims that its all OK because they didn't change the bios, ignoring the fact that much of the added information was false. The larger issue is that with this president its all about him. HE killed Bin Laden, the military is fighting for HIM. Whatever happened to the concept laid out by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address ..this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth If Obama gets his way it will be: ..this nation, under the government shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of Obama by Obama, for Obama, shall not perish from the earth Posted by Jeff Dunetz at Tuesday, May 15, 2012

Shock Poll: Romney now leads among womenPresident Obama’s claim that the GOP is mounting a war on women has proven to be a failure. A month into his assault on the Republicans and Mitt Romney, the new CBS-New York Times poll shows that the GOP presidential candidate now leads among women--and men. Since April, women have gone from strongly backing Obama to endorsing Romney. In April, Obama held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead among women. That has now flipped to 46 percent backing Romney with 44 percent for Obama, an 8-point switch. Ironically, Romney’s support among men has dropped, but he still edges Obama 45 percent to 42 percent. And here’s a surprise: Despite the media hyping the so-called war on women, no major outlet today noticed Romney’s new lead with women voters. “This is unbelievable,” said conservative consultant Greg Mueller. “The CBS story manages to not mention the change in women numbers,” he said, adding sarcastically. “No media bias here -- Obama is getting fluffy stories about his commencement speech to women at Barnard -- so we better bury the reality.”

A Censored Race War The media ignore racially motivated black-on-white crime. By Thomas Sowell Thomas Sowell When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might sound like news that should have been reported, at least by their own newspaper. But it wasn’t. The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel was the first major television program to report this incident. Yet this story is not just a Norfolk story, either in what happened or in how the media and the authorities have tried to sweep it under the rug. Similar episodes of unprovoked violence by young black gangs against white people chosen at random on beaches, in shopping malls, or in other public places have occurred in Philadelphia, New York, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, Los Angeles, and other places across the country. Both the authorities and the media tend to try to sweep these episodes under the rug. Advertisement In Milwaukee, for example, an attack on whites at a public park a few years ago left many of the victims battered to the ground and bloody. But when the police arrived on the scene, it became clear that the authorities wanted to keep this quiet. One 22-year-old woman, who had been robbed of her cell phone and debit card, and had blood streaming down her face, said, “About 20 of us stayed to give statements and make sure everyone was accounted for. The police wouldn’t listen to us, they wouldn’t take our names or statements. They told us to leave. It was completely infuriating.” The police chief seemed determined to head off any suggestion that this was a racially motivated attack by saying that crime is color-blind. Officials elsewhere have said similar things. A wave of such attacks in Chicago were reported, but not the race of the attackers or victims. Media outlets that do not report the race of people committing crimes nevertheless report racial disparities in imprisonment and write heated editorials blaming the criminal-justice system. What the authorities and the media seem determined to suppress is that the hoodlum elements in many ghettoes launch coordinated attacks on whites in public places. If there is anything worse than a one-sided race war, it is a two-sided race war, especially when one of the races outnumbers the other several times over. It may be understandable that some people want to head off such a catastrophe, either by not reporting the attacks in this race war, or by not identifying the race of those attacking, or by insisting that the attacks were not racially motivated — even when the attackers themselves voice anti-white invective as they laugh at their bleeding victims.

Rattner, nicknamed the "car czar" for his work on the auto bailout, has worked in the private equity industry himself. He told “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, "I think the ad is unfair." Romney should never have said anything about creating jobs while he was at Bain, Rattner added. "Bain Capital's responsibility was not to create 100,000 jobs or some other number. It was to make profits for its investors, most of whom were pension funds, endowments, and foundations" he said. "It did it superbly well, acting within the rules, acting very responsibly, and was a leading firm. To pick out an example of somebody who lost their job, unfortunately, this is part of capitalism, this is part of life. I don't think there's anything Bain Capital did that they need to be embarrassed about."

When Obama speaks of change, he means systematic change, not personal change. He wants to rebuild America into a socialistic state -- where citizens rise only to the lowest common denominator, where wealth and success are demonized and complacency and government dependence are incentivized. Besides guaranteeing financial ruin and the country's economic collapse, this will do nothing to empower struggling Americans or improve their quality of life. Obama's promise of "change" in reality is the antithesis of transformation; it is about enabling those who make poor decisions to better maintain their lifestyle and as a result perpetuates a multitude of social ills. americanthinker.com
