Mad at Obama

So, I'm one of Obama's biggest cheerleader ever.

But, I'm a little upset with him in his reaction to the Auto Industry woes.

He treats the auto industry as if it could just disappear and it wouldn't have any impact on the US.

The auto industry has already personally effected my state, my family, heck even me and we're not even an auto worker on any level. I just so happen to live in Michigan and work for a company that relies on a lot from the Auto Industry. Before it even got to where it is now; before it was a big national deal my company was effected. And now my salary is cut 10% and I make less than I did 2 years ago, no more bonuses (though I wasn't get much anyway), and no more raises. Did I mention I just moved?? Yeah so this auto thing is lot more personal and painful for me and mine than it would be someone whose livelihood wasn't effected and I think the President needs to re-evaluate what his action or inaction would do for those of us involved.

We have one of the highest unemployment rate and one of those people recently unemployed is a close relative. It would quadruple if one, not even 2, just one of the big three were allowed to fail.

Do they need to restructure? Yep

Are they responsible for their issues? Partially

But while we're shaking our collective heads at the big three and opening our collective wallets for the banks who have brought the whole world down, my salary and the salary of my co-workers are cut by 10%. I'm one of those check to check people, barely making enough to get by and that 10% is a big deal.

So Obama I'm a little upset with you.

Sure we need a secure banking system but we also need our auto industry and if you're going to scrutinize and criticize and demonize the big three you should be doing that 10 times as hard and as long to the banks.

And bank of america I'm mad at you too for this bogus $2 extra you put on top of the atm fee I already paid while the ceo is making millions. Cut his salary and get rid of this new $2 fee that I don't even think I was told about. Forget mad, I hate boa!

President Obama

So now that I have my president of choice I feel so lackluster toward politics now lol

I'll be back to give my big long (hopefully) view of things that have happened since 11/04/2008

Awesomeness

Colin Powell Endorses:

Barack Obama!

Maine and Nebraska Electoral College

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nebraska and Maine are the only two states who spilt up their electoral votes, so Obama could get pieces of Nebraska's 5 electoral votes if he wins one of the districts, not a whole lot of points but...............

We're getting Maine so there is no need to discuss them but they have 4 electoral votes.

Updated Electoral Map total

According to the Huffington Post, Obama has pulled ahead in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania. I've already given him Pa, so if we add Ohio and Florida to his count that would bring the totals to:

333!

If he gets just Ohio then its 306

If he gets just Florida then its 313

I don't know if he'd get both, I'd say he'd get either or but I highly doubt both

Electoral Map 09/25/08

I think we'll get Ohio, Indiana and New Mexico, but they're polling a little close to say for sure.

Sara Palin

Her Pick

John Sidney McCain’s historical vp pick was done, in my opinion, to cover two basis. Hillary Clinton was not picked to be on the democratic ticket so Palin’s pick was to try to pick up on those angry Clinton supporters. The second reason was to energize the republican evangelical base. She is the uber right wing religious poster girl. She’s for creationism being taught in schools (public schools funded by tax dollars and the government….guess she doesn’t remember the whole separation of church and state), she “inquired” about banning books at the public library (though denies the firing or the attempt at firing the head librarian even though there was a documented uproar about it), she’s pro-life (though praises her unwed teenage daughter’s CHOICE in deciding to keep her baby) If I was a conservative right winger I’d probably be super excited about this choice.

Why it won’t work

No need to go into details, just watch her answers to Charles Gibson’s question about the Bush Doctrine…she had no idea what it was and instead of saying she wasn’t familiar with it, she just babbled on about bs

She used the key pair of words bush and co used in defending this war a billion times…….”Islamic extremists” where is Bill Maher when you need him?

War With Russia?

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd! She’s willing to go to war with Russia!!! With what army????? Oh you mean the one that John McCain has voted against to help, he thinks they’re using the position to use the perks like a getting an education while they risk their lives to defend this country???? So what if they get in, serve their time, get their education and decide not to re-enlist, that is their decision! Maybe if the republicans wasn’t forcing them into wars they do not believe in, wars that is not benefiting the US, wars that is not even targeting the right enemy they would continue to serve.

That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it!
