In the last two elections there have been court actions about the vote count. This one is heading for court actions too - maybe once again on the vote count, but certainly on who is legally qualified to run for/be president.

The question was raised about whether John McCain was a natural citizen because his father was in the military and he was born in Panama. Senator McCain produced his birth certificate and medical records to answer the question and offered to produce any other documents that would be necessary.

–

The question to Senator Obama is the same. He claims to be born in Hawaii, but has failed to produce his birth certificate to a federal court judge in Pennsylvania to answer a lawsuit filed by a Democrat from the state questioning whether he can legally run for president. It would seem that perhaps Senator Obama might have something to hide.

Here is a link to a video that covers these questions.

Senator Obama’s actions regarding this challenge makes me wonder if he has the ability to make a good decision. If he does, in fact ,meet the requirements to run for president, why not simply produce the necessary documents to the court and resolve the issue quickly and quietly. Of course, for whatever reason, the news media is quiet on the issue already. Perhaps Senator Obama may think he doesn’t have to respond with the facts; just do the legal tap dance till after the election. Then if he wins, the questions will be swept under the carpet and if he loses, nobody will be the wiser. Hell of a choice for a president, don’t you think??

What is good “republican management”? Its the policy that no CEO or other executive will experience any reduction of wages, benefits, or other perks due to - well, anything. The organization will balance its budget on the backs of the rank and file employee and expect them to work harder for the same wages or less to insure executives maintain their standards of living or even give the executives an increase in salary, benefits, and perks.

Obama talks of raising taxes on the wealthy and reducing taxes for the middle class. What middle class?? There are very few people in the middle class. Most have been reduced to the level of “working poor”. Obama has talked of creating jobs as have other Democrat candidates. BUT I have yet to hear of any plan to create these new jobs. And speaking of jobs, the new democrat minimum wage law is about $4.00 short of where the minimum wage should at this point in time. Makes me wonder about who owns the Democrats.

McCain talks of lowering taxes for big companies so they can “create” new jobs. But at the same time not mentioning any tax cuts for the non-existent “middle” class, let alone the “working poor”. I hear nothing from McCain about stopping the stampede of companies taking their jobs overseas to a cheap labor market. Nor do I hear anything from McCain on what jobs these tax cuts for big companies are going to create.

From listening to both candidates and their plan,s sounds like more of the “working poor” are going to get the shaft and the rich get the gold.

One good way to stop companies from exporting jobs overseas is for all government, not just the federal government but state and local too, to stop awarding any contracts to companies that have exported jobs overseas.

–
Another way to stop the stampede of jobs leaving the country is to restrict or ban imports from countries that are not our allies. Most of the cheap labor market is third world countries, very few of which are friends of the United States. They are like welfare recipients - they’ve got their hands out and will give lip service to support us as long as we give them money. Let the money flow slow down or stop and they’ll stab the United States in the back in a heartbeat.

Listening to the candidates, it sounds like we are looking at 4 more years of “good” republican management.
