Politics and Pensions: Where Hope Goes To Die

Two day ago, The President and Governor Romney met with voters in Dayton, Ohio about five miles apart from each other.  On the one side, was President Obama proudly proclaiming that his auto bailout saved middle class workers in their time of need.  Meanwhile, in front of a closed Delphi auto parts plant the story was not as cheerful.  20,000 Delphi employees were looked over when the administration bailed out General Motors.

Besides working for the same company, the employees only had one other thing in common: they were not part of the auto union.  As a result, their pensions were cut up to 70% while their unionized coworkers received full pensions.  The Obama administration has repeatedly denied their involvement in the choosing of who received pensions, even as evidence plainly shows they went as far as lying under oath to cover their tracks.  President Obama claims that pension protection is at the top of his priority list, unfortunately, it appears his promises only apply to workers under the strong arm of unions.

    That’s okay–the unions now know that Maobama doesn’t have their backs either. Between the coal miners and the steel workers (Keystone XL), they have seen that they can be thrown under the bus as easily as Hillary Clinton, and without a second thought.

    Time for the American People to demand that Obama come clean on the killing of Ambassador Stevens and four other heros, and that the Main Stream Media cover it. Shame on them for not telling the People the truth. Fox News is reporting the truth, the only one.

    Think of all ‘ the islands of the abandoned and neglected’ that Himself has created by edicts,chicanery, lawlessness,do-nothingisms, and Czar’s.
    He wants four more years of this bilge. Does any thinking American suppose he isn’t going to double-down? What is to stop him? Congress has certainly been no great help.
    If you do not think this is America’s Last Gasp, then just keep on movin’.
    “Where to?” , is your next question…
