Still Campaigning, Obama to talk with Union autoworkers
WASHINGTON – Going before groups of autoworkers and union members, President Barack Obama is trying Tuesday to assure blue-collar audiences that the economy is coming back — and that his administration deserves credit for saving some of their jobs.
Obama is scheduled to meet with workers at the General Motors Lordstown assembly plant near Youngstown, Ohio, where GM recently was able to start a second production line because of demand prompted by the federal Cash for Clunkers program. Later, the president addresses the AFL-CIO convention in Pittsburgh, where he will urge the nation’s largest labor union to support his health care overhaul.

Saved their jobs? Thanks Obama, for saving their jobs with my kid’s money. I bet I am paying for that new GM money back guarantee as well, right?
Does this guy ever stay home? I have something to say to you Mr. President, “You already have the vote of the Union guys, You have already given them my money, twice (auto bailout and cash for clunkers). Why do you think that you need to go back and prostitute yourself to these guys, again? Shouldn’t you be back in the oval office trying to do something that will help, instead of making another campaign speech?
I know that running for office is all that you have ever done, your whole life. So, I understand that it must be hard to break the pattern, you know, to do some real work. To help with that and what appears to be a problem with A.D.D., I have prepared list of things you can focus on. Each time you complete one, you will be allowed to make one trip. The way I see it, the tax payers will save some money as you won’t be burning fuel, and we will get some real work done to help the tax paying American public.
Here’s your list and remember; when you complete this one, the Tax Paying Americans will have another for you because you work for us.
* Interject yourself into another matter that is none of you business like local police matters or calling a Rapper a Jackass (Oops you already did that. You can check this one off of your list. Sorry for the sarcasm I just couldn’t resist)
* Build a border wall and enforce immigration laws that will rid our country of unwanted illegal aliens
* Fire all the czars and do some of the work yourself. If you would stay home more you wouldn’t have to employ so many political apointees to do your job.
* Demand that all of the banks that received bailout money, repay it (with interest) and then return that money to the treasury.
* Admit that Cap and Trade is just a tax program, then drop it.
* Cut federal funding to political/social organizations that are found to be fraudulant.
* Get off of the television. I find Spongebob far more relavant than anything you have said so far.
* Instead of speaking to kids to promote your agenda, stick around Washington and speak to adults like the leaders of the tea parties
* Take all of the stimulus money that has not been spent and put it back in the treasury and don’t ever ask for more.
*Fix the government health care programs you already have, then talk to me about my health care program
*Find a way to cut government spending by 25% instead of finding ways to increase it by 100%.
*Stop apologizing for America being America and lose the attitude. None of us can help you with your personal identity problems so stop trying to drag us into your Gestalt therapy.
*And finally, just one last thing, if you could see your way clear to produce the real birth certificate…..that would sure shut a bunch of people up.
