It was pretty sad... everytime Obama pushed and got a liberal agenda passed, it was all for "jobs"... healthcare reform was "for jobs"... wall street reform was "for jobs"... apparently nobody told healthcare reform or wall street they were suppose to hire more people after the legislation was passed... instead they laid off MORE workers... Obama lied to get his liberal agenda PERIOD...

Violence? Obviously you've never been to Newton, IA.

In this part of the Midwest, we do pretty well at taking care of our own.

Yes, that's right...there wasn't a single, solitary job ever lost to corporate greed before Obama walked through the White House door, was there?

I wouldn't discount the possibility of that happening in good 'ol, laid-back, all-American Iowa quite so easily.

This has been happenning for many, many years.

When the car replaced the horse drawn wagon, wagon businesses folded. When the computer replaced the typewriter, typewriter companies folded.

Drive through New England and look at all the empty factory buildings. Mostly textile related. What happenned to them? The owners moved south to ge to get away from the ever demanding unions.

Pan American World Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal United States international air carrier from the late 1920s until its collapse on December 4, 1991.

Manufacturers and businesses come and go all the time.

Do I feel for those losing their jobs. Yes. But, you don't keeep a business open when it has failed.

Of course there was... but Obama did very little to spur creation of the same jobs that were lost... which is what Americans wanted... but I guess liberals don't care what Americans want as evident by what was given in PROTEST by the Americans...

It's time to play another game of "Let's see how much we can tie to Obama" even though we know he had nothing to do with it. Obama (a.k.a the current administration) is not responsible for every job lost, every sale and every corporate decision in the United States.

Going by your post, the corporations who move jobs to other countries, where slave wages prevail, in order to increase their profits, will help make our country socialist.

STOP with the liberals this & liberals that......You will just get replies like "Republicans don't care about Americans" bull.
When the republican party wins all of these elections they will have their turn to do something positive for Americans.

Lets wait & see what happens before we begin attacking one another as usual.
IMHO neither party gives a hoot about the average Americans these days.

It sure was!

I purchased a GM Yukon about 1992 and found it was assembled in Mexico!
I later purchased a Subaru and it was assembled in Indiana! Go figure.
