Look who is the economic policy director for Obama: The New York Sun
This does not bode well for America!!!!!
Wait a minute.. Didnt Obama criticize Hillary Clinton for being on the Wal-Mart Board in 1985, even though his wife was getting money from doing business with Wal-Mart in 2007? Didnt Obama also criticize Wal-Mart for their anti-union movement?
Wow.. this guy is all over the board on this, and the problem is, the american people wont care.
There are alot of us Democrats that shop at Wal*Mart and we well remember what life was like before Wal*Mart. I buy lots of things at Wal*Mart (although groceries come from Costco and Kroger) and when you bash Wal*Mart you are bashing alot of Democrats. We are not all Volvo driving latte sippers you know. Quite a few of us work for a living too.
But KevK.. shouldnt you be all anti Wal-Mart? As much as you hate big business, Wal-Mart is the signature company that is so large, anti business, anti unions and "living wages"...
I'm curious why the support for Wal-Mart when you hate every other big company.. Ahh, I see, it benefits you.. Go attack those companies that you dont use, but leave the ones you do use alone.
The crooked Fannie Mae guy really bothers me. There's no way they didnt recognize that what he stands for is at odds with their entire message. To quote Kevin Kline - "DISAPPOINTED!!!"
Does it also bother you that Eric Holder is on the team. He orchestrated one of Bubba's most infamous pardons - Mark Rich.
So his very FIRST appointments clearly display his lack of judgement.
intriguing title, but then when i saw UB50 under the title, i found it kinda hard to take it seriously - knowing that it would be a skewed and ridiculous bunch of nonsense.
The Walmart model is a classic economic study at the University level and is reflective of transitioning to a global market and the use of technology to increase productivity and reduce production margins. Forget the social implications of health care they are a model of increased productivity which is what has kept our economy growing. When you buy a product at Walmart the ordering and assembling process to replace it begins automatically.
Wal-Mart is noted for its low-price, low-wage, globally-sourced business model, a strategy that has achieved precision control of manufacturing, inventory, and distribution by taking full advantage of the world’s new telecommunications infrastructure. It is not entirely unique in this regard, but it is by far the most successful and the most influential corporation of this sort, which is why its presence in a range of new markets, including toys, groceries, auto repair, music, and upscale consumer durables has generated such a wave of social and economic change. Indeed, Wal-Mart perfectly embodies the process of “creative destruction” identified by Joseph Schumpeter as the engine by which one mode of capitalist production and distribution is replaced by another. And as Schumpeter made clear, every set of technological and organizational innovations not only reconfigures the economic landscape, but it also casts a cultural and moral shadow across all of society.
Like it or not they are still along with Costco retailers who are prospering in this environment. Isn't that what we want in our leaders? Successful models and not PC correct ones?
The whole thing is a big concern -- plus the fact that Obama changes what he believes from week to week to week. Today he'll love Wal-Mart, tomorrow he'll hate it.
I really CAN NOT VOTE FOR HIM!!!! I just can't.
then just dont. we're sick of hearing about it.
but please do me just this one favor:
1- go sit in front of a mirror.
2- look yourself in the eyes.
3- put on a big ****-eatin' grin and say, "i like where this economy is going right now. i like the direction this country has been going in for the last 7 years. we need to stay this course".
3- put on a big ****-eatin' grin and say, "i like where this economy is going right now. i like the direction this country has been going in for the last 7 years. we need to stay this course".
4- run out and cast your ballot for John McCain.
I like most Americans with a brain are better off then we were 8 years ago. Wow what economic expansion and prosperity. Now some might not be as well off as they were two years ago but that is still well ahead of 8 years ago. Especially when you factor in 9/11. Now of course you had to take advantage of the opportunities that existed. If you bought a new house with an ARM in 2006 duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. If you bought a fixed rate in 2000 wow you are still way ahead of the ball game. Did the individual invest? Take advantage of the post 9/11 run up? Did they study and major in a field that had a high employability rate or did they go to have fun and study Graphic Design or Political Science? Decisions made are the foundation of where you are today. No candidate is going to bail you out from stupidity. Oh wait I think they are considering wind fall profits to help bail out people who can't afford to put gas in their guzzlers. How about selective gas price relief by government?

I did what you said Bro but they told me the polls didn't open again for months.
Yah man I love it love it. Pays for gas and vacations and the good things we all work hard for. I know Bush has screwed some things up but the prosperity for a lot of us is just rolling along.
Go Status Quo
Go Exxon/Mobil
Go the wisdom to invest and share in our great prosperity.
