We can't believe a thing this administration says. One minute Obama is standing in front of a bridge asking to be reelected so that he can "rebuild" it, the next we find it's the chinese doing the work. He says we are moving in the right direction and jobs are coming back. Yesterday Dow Chemical announced permanent cut backs of 2,400 jobs, Kimberly-Clark 1,500 and Dupont Chemical will lay off 1,500, not much of a merry christmas for 5,400 dads trying to raise families. Meanwhile miraculously, last months Labor Statistics report has America's unemployment rate down to 7.8% right before the election. To borrow an Obama term there is a big problem with the 'math'. We were 342,000 jobs short of the number we would have needed to get the rate down that low. We only created 114,000 jobs last month. Can you say cook the numbers? Then, Romney exposes him for not having an economic plan to get folks back to work during the debates and viola, right after the last debate Obama condenses a convention speech down into pamphlet size and proclaims he has a plan. Oh, and let's not forget the efforts by administration officials to deny workers facing imminent lay offs, their 60 day lay off notices.

The Obama campaign rhetoric continues to emphasize to voters that Romney is not to be trusted. Right, only Obama can be trusted to tell us the truth, just forget about the fact that we just threw the last four years down the drain and the Obama modus operandi was one of misleading the public for his entire first term. And having lost their super majority on both sides of the congress in the elections of 2010, there is a collaboration between Harry Reid and the White House to hold up all legislation until after the election, thusly grid-locking the US congress.

We don't need fundamental transformation. As in the case of the arab spring, that which rushes in to fill a political void is predictably much worse than what was there in the first place. In our case, America isn't broken. We're the envy of the world in fact. Look at it like this. Even the Little League recognized years ago, that folks would come in successive waves while their children were players and then they would go away, never to return. Consequently, the League govening body in Williamsport is extremely rigid in their resistance to efforts to change things. The rules are there for a reason, they work and they have worked for decades. Changes parents would make, errode the experience that we all know to be so valuable for the players. Therefore, to show their earnest with regard to changes to league operations and rules, the threat of losing one's Little League charter looms for those who would defy Williamsport and make unapproved changes. The Same thing with America, our president has chosen to circumvent the US congress, and in lieu of due process has issued over 900 executive orders. In effect, making himself King. As in the case of those transient parents of Little League players, Obama will be gone, one way or the other, if not now then certainly four years from now. The mess that he will leave behind will diminish the lives of every American. Why folks are willing to do this to themselves defies logic. We have four years of Obama on record. What are we saying, don't pay any attention to what we know to be the record and by faith, yet again, resubmit ourselves to a man we know has zero compuction about lying to us about everything from jobs to foreign policy blunders?

In his wake, we will find ourselves transformed from the greatest nation the world has ever known to a European style voice from among the crowd. The great American industrial engine, will lay in ruins. Choked by govenmental regulations designed to shut down anything deemed remotely threatening to the environment by sky-is-falling environmentalists. And, starved by lack of energy to run, even though America is blessed with suffcient fossil fuels to last successive lifetimes. Thereby, diminishing the average American home to an existence of nail bitting worry about using every little bit of energy. A community organizer of mysterious origins comes on the scene for 4 or 8 years promising everybody everything, and leaves a legacy that will only be describable by use the word aftermath.

It's no longer about the number of jobs, it's the quality of jobs available.


Something has to be done with the policies that are making it possible to ship job overseas and ship goods back and the company increase their profit.

Also, we need to create an environment for companies to keep jobs here but yet stay competitive in the world market.

Working in retail vs working for a job in Manufacturing, Oil, Rail Road, and other similar job types is not even close.
