United Auto Workers union endorses Obama for president

United Auto Workers union endorses Obama for president
"The United Auto Workers international executive board has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president."

Hmmmm.... the same group who bankrupted the American auto industry now endorses B Hussein who's "new" ideas for "change" will bankrupt the USA.
Sounds logical to moi....

Obama says he will offer $4,000 tuition tax credit

Obama says he will offer $4,000 tuition tax credit
"Obama said he would give students a $4,000 tax credit to help pay tuition and fees in exchange for 100 hours of community service. The campaign said the program would cost $10 billion a year"

Let's see....$4000 divided by 100 hours... um that equals $40 bucks an HOUR!!!!?

B Hussein promises to give "students" $4o bucks an hour to do... what..... community service????

Do nothing "make-work" at $4/hr....... plus all those nifty democrat government workers to supervise the little darling students......

This only sounds "new" to someone who's never heard of the USSR...

Yeah but....... coal and oil also provide us with jobs and food.

Coal and oil are the energy bridge that we humans need until new technology is discovered.

Windmill farms and solar panels covering our real farms will provide nothing except more government subsidies to the makers of windmills and solar panels.

DUMBEST UNION MOVE EVER

DUMBEST UNION MOVE EVER
"Volunteer firefighters who built sandbag barricades to protect Baraboo from record flooding earlier this month wrongfully did the work of city workers, a union representative argues in a complaint.
A grievance filed with the city says Department of Public Works employees are qualified to perform the work done by volunteer firefighters and should've been called on first.
Union workers are demanding pay for overtime they lost out on as a result of volunteers from the Baraboo Fire Department filling sandbags June 7 through June 12"

Maybe the taxpayers might want to see who negotiated the union contract on behalf of the city of Baraboo?

This IS funny!

"Washington has placed a moratorium on solar power projects on federal land. Is this the work of evil oil companies? No, it's the fault of environmentalists."

Let us make no mistake! The democrat party has been taken over by extremist enviro-nuts and will fight EVERY idea to provide energy for humans. EVERY IDEA!

How Bear Stearns Died

How Bear Died

"The 28-day line, in other words, was a 28-day line in name only: There's a good chance that Paulson and Geithner never signed off on its length, only on its size. And then decided that the last thing they needed was the risk of Bear Stearns bankruptcy hanging over the market's head for a month."

Interesting insight into the collapse of a once great financial firm.
