Thanks for the ping! Sadly, many in Ohio are still holding on to the belief that 0bama will create many jobs here (and not roadwork). I just had a conversation with someone a couple of days ago who swore up, down and all around that 0bama would indeed halt all overseas production and return those great paying union jobs back to Ohio where they belong. Nothing, but nothing, could change her mind. Oh, and gas will stay at $1.50 a gallon because the story is around here that 0bama secretly negotiated low gas prices for us. No, I’m not kidding.
On another note, I was out for a bite to eat on the Friday night following the election. I overheard a conversation between two business owners. What were they planning to do? Both were giving notice to their employees the day after Thanksgiving. They’re not sticking around to see what takes and what doesn’t - by then it will be too late. They’re getting out now. They felt no remorse since they both said they heard non-stop about how wonderful things would be once 0bama got in and they figured people were going to have to learn the hard way.
I’ve tried to explain what the article states to certain people until I’m blue in the face. If I’m around a certain crowd, of course, I have to explain nothing; but to many living paycheck to paycheck, all financial difficulties are a result of the last 8 years of Bush’s economic failures and sending our jobs overseas. For the next four years, I’m sure it will still be Bush’s fault. It’s as if politics and political decisions only began in 2000.
Thanks for letting me vent. :)
