"We believe that when a CEO pays his autoworkers enough to buy the cars that they build, the whole company does better." (Obama)
What did you think of the focus both Biden and Obama put on the auto industry during their speeches? Just right? Over the top?
(And your friendly reminder: there is not a lot gained by name-calling here.)

Mr. Ford come up with that idea about 100 years ago but he raised wages for his workers. Does Mr. Obama mean that the two-tier pay scale will be going away? I don't know many people making $15/hour that can afford to buy a brand new car.

When will Goverment Motors pay back the LOAN ? Instead they gave bonuses to workers and the Volt is selling so well they layed off workers for a second time this year. They're not out of the woods yet and it doesn't look like anytime soon, more layoffs will be in the future because of overall lack of car sales worldwide and lack of cash flow and credit rating, that will hurt the borrowing for future product development.
10:53 am on Saturday, September 8, 2012
I like this question. I did like the emphasis on the auto industry, not just for Michigan, but also for the country. America needs to have other flagship industry that they are world renowned for, but letting America lose its footing in the auto industry would be a sad message to send to the rest of the world, and also a demoralizing message to us in America. If we let the American auto industry die out without clear replacements, I think it would be the beginning of demise for America. I also think that the auto industry was built on both profit and worker well-being -- kind of a win-win for all, which may be another reason they focused on this industry in particular. We need more models of businesses that can make profit and treat workers well in the 21st century. America hasn't figured it out yet.

Should the workers who build jets be able to buy them as well? What about those who build homes? A new car is an extreme luxury. It is neither practical, nor necessary. "lines" like that one are an insult to those of us with triple digit IQs.
8:39 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Ladies and Gentlemen -
I give you the fruits of Trickle Down Economics:
- A house and a new car are now extreme luxuries.
(Sorry, couldn't resist this tee up from Richard. Unfortunately, I'm only half joking)
8:42 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Susan - ditto for me. Long term prosperity happens when there's a little win-win for everybody. RE: Henry Ford. He knew that if he actually had customers (like his workers) for his products, he could sell more. With those profits, he could hire more workers, who could in turn buy more cars, and so on....
9:25 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012
I thought I only spread the news !
Well Homes and Cars are indeed "luxuries" how about 2 and 3 cars?
Are you suggesting Renting or living in a home that you cannot afford is not luxury.
Well we have public paid transportation for those who cannot afford cars.
We have many public provided Homes for those who cannot afford a home.
Of course Liberals whould not want to demean someones pride, would they.
So throw out all the luxury component in the name of "Compassion"
Yes! Problem solved. Buy everyone who cannot afford what someone else has that item for "Free"
Soon we will have a country of "free" Home, car, insurance, etc.
With nobody working to support it.
11:10 pm on Sunday, September 9, 2012
I'm neither a Dem or Republican since I can't believe the choices that they generate for the public to vote.
With that, the US needs to put emphasis on large sector employers and companies based here in the US. Unfortunately through past administrations, from both parties, they have allowed too many companies and virtually industries to leave. No service oriented/focused government has ever succeeded in the world. You must control the means to produce or you are at the mercy of those who do.
And I see that Rog L needs to keep current...the LOAN was paid off in April 2010. Cash and stock. This was something worked out by both parties, the Bush administration started the bailout process and the Obama administration continued. GM stock has suffered all because of the problems in Europe, simply search and you'll see that both GM and Ford lost money due to the economic crisis overseas. But again, this was something worked out as acceptable payment by the US gov't and your politicians...regardless of your party affiliation. I do agree that bonuses should be limited when a company isn't doing well...HOWEVER, DO YOUR HOMEWORK...GM had record profits in 2011. That is why the bonuses.
You want to make the money that has not returned on the deal, maybe stop subsidizing nations that don't "like" America, but are quick to take handouts. And how about the middle east? People say that we went to secure oil...then why are prices so high? Hmm can you say special interest?
7:10 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
As George Carlin commented years ago-- The 2-party system is really only ONE party: It's called The Money Party (with two branches).
11:51 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
To me it don't matter who is President. In the end the same globalist, huge corporations, out of control bureaucracy, special interests run things. No longer a government for the people. I vote Libertarian, screw the status quo - they screwed us enough.
Patricia Kane

For Michigan (and America) one focus has to be jobs. We can't recover in what will be a service based economy, health care and IT. We need to produce and sell and people need to have the confidence and the income to buy. Michigan is particularly hurting and saving the jobs of the auto industry and expanding on what can be manufactured here is important to sustainability. I am glad they touched on the topic. I think however it needs to be discussed as a separate issue and not linked to others. I was not impressed with Granholm's delivery of comments and wished she had not been there. Overall the discussion of the auto industry was and is important and the more jobs we can bring back, the better for everyone regardless of party lines.
9:01 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
Jennifer Granholm for President! Before you fall off your chair, I was reading a CNN article on the convention praising how great a job our former govenor did in her speech, bacially lamenting that its to bad she was a Canadian and can't run for President.
This either shows you how cluesless these writers are or how biased their reportng is. Anyone from Michigan would laugh at the prospect after her disasterous tenure here, followed by her quick exit to the left coast and Berkely. I thought I could no longer be surprised. I was wrong....
Larry D
10:09 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
Perhaps you might want to look at the big picture. Granholm became governor at a time when state taxes had been cut during the boom times of the nineties, with some of those cuts taking effect after she took office. As the auto industry declined (an international business whose welfare is not significantly affected by state policies), the state economy declined, increasing costs and decreasing revenues. She was in an impossible situation, as would have been the case with anyone who was governor during that period. The fate of Michigan is still tied to the fate of the auto industry in spite of fifty years of governors trying to diversify the state economy. If the auto industry does well, Snyder will look good. If it fails, Michigan will fail again no matter what the governor does. Outsiders appreciate these circumstances more than many Michiganders.
Patricia Kane
9:19 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
Agreed Doug, I was just as surprised she was there. Poor choice to come in as representing Michigan-even if it was our past. There (she) was no success story there for our State, nothing.
Chris K
4:26 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
Why isn't Snyder blaming Granholm the way Obama is blaming Bush? I could not believe my eyes or ears when I saw Granholm trying to act like some juiced up preacher from cable television! None of the commentators noted she left Michigan as soon as she could just like the thousands of unemployed did while she reigned!

Nice of the archbishop to show up with a group that cheers and praises killing unborn babies, very Godly sir, NOT
11:00 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
Cardinal Dolan oversaw prayers for both conventions. I applaud his message of praying equally for BOTH. Offering prayers for leaders does not mean that he agrees with them. Figuratively standing in the corner with his arms folded in disagreement would not serve any purpose. Instead, he openly prays for all involved.
12:13 am on Monday, September 10, 2012
Maybe you can (1) make a real point; (2) maybe show me what group "cheers and praises killing unborn babies" and (3) why is it that people like you feel its necessary to throw your RELIGIOUS opinions into a valid question posed by the writer? The grown ups are talking I.c. so maybe you can refrain from trying to talk over others.
But you want to speak of the Archbishop...he made a very intelligent decision to support both parties. The Church doesn't need to be alienating members over 1 issue that has shown not to be at the heart of turning around America. In fact, covering up child molestation by various clergy isn't very "Godly" either from what I would assume. And consider this...abortion IS LEGAL...regardless of your opinion. I know well educated people (unlike yourself) on both sides of the abortion issue and nobody that I can think of applauds the decision for someone to abort a birth. At the same time, how many children have you adopted? That seems to be the "answer" of many of those who are pro-life. While we're on that line of thought, I'm also assuming that you hold a very strong opinion on your gun rights. You don't want big gov't sticking it's nose into your "rights", but feel it is ok that they stick their nose into affairs when it doesn't affect you. Quite the hypocrite, don't you think?
10:41 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
Say No to War, Amnesty and Taxes. Say Yes to Limited Government, Secure Borders and Liberty.
For starters…
• Eliminate unconstitutional direct taxes on wages and salaries.
• Audit all Comprehensive Financial Annual Reports at federal level.
• Eliminate the Federal Reserve or at least the debasing of our currency via debt monetization.
• Encourage free trade with all nations and implement domestic energy independence.
• Remove industrial hemp from DEA control and create new jobs for Michigan in the automobile, agriculture, textiles, food and manufacturing industries!
• Eliminate the current military industrial complex to restore a strong national defense (not expand the current international offense).
• Restore a constitutional republic and the rule of law. Restore federal government role of protecting our natural individual rights instead of eroding them.
• Repeal the Patriot Act and NDAA.
• Withdraw all troops from the Middle East and around the world and re-position them to protect our borders instead.
• Withdraw the U.S.A. from the United Nations completely including Agenda 21 on a federal level.
Wait...no, let's just keep doing more of the same and expect different results.

10:56 am on Friday, September 7, 2012
For one, I don't understand the obsessed demagoguery of the GOP when it comes to former Governor Jennifer Granholm. If I were to fault her on anything is her desire to work in a bipartisan fashion and not understanding that the GOP would never let that happen.
Instead, the GOP in the state senate stalled every major initiative she brought to the table - all in an effort to destroy the state and the Democrats in the political arena. And, it worked. Too bad for Michigan which had to endure eight years of stalled progress as Lansing gridlocked.
For those who participated in these efforts, I'll say this: you violated your oath of office and your moral responsibility to the people represented.

Brad, you're sorely misinformed. You say voting for Obama assures poverty. Did you know that Obama has created more private-sector jobs in four years than Bush created during his ENTIRE term? And, Obama did it with NO HELP from the Republicans, who have obstructed his attempt to move this economy forward. Worse yet, the Republicans do this with total disregard for American citizens who need jobs--just so they can win back the White House. It's shameless.
You also said that we "need the wealthy" to pay for those in poverty. My friend, don't worry about the wealthy. They are doing fine. In fact, they are the ONLY sector of our society who've done phenomenally well in recent years, thanks to endless tax cuts from the Republicans--all while poor and middle class incomes have stagnated during that same period.
Brad, answer this: Is giving tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires smart use of YOUR money? If you believe that the benefits of cutting taxes will eventually trickle down to you and the middle class, you're in for a LONG wait. It just doesn't happen. In fact, we tried it under "W" and where did it lead us? It crashed our economy.
Brad, finally, were you aware that in modern times, twice as many jobs have been created under a Democrat president than a Republican one? It's true. Look it up.
In conclusion, please stop spouting off about things you know nothing about.
1:59 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
I am a social liberal/ fiscal conservative..Basically I have no party. If I were runnnig the republican party I would agree to a tax hike for millionaires and above. Its resally bad economics in a recession, but it wold take away their biggest talking point. People seem to be under the delusion that taxing the wealthly will fix the deficeit. It would barely dent it.
I am very turned off at President Obama's strategy to divide America just for votes. It the war on women, killing old people, etc, etc...whatever happened to uniting america. Romney has an excellant chance to pull this off. The economy is on the ditch. Todays jobs numbers were a disaster. Consider that the unempoyment rate went down slightly because 300,000 people quit looking. We generated 96K new jobs when it takes 150K just to break even due to population growth. Obama's 4.4 million new jobs don't count his first year in office...nothng like cherry picking numbers.
People vote their wallets and $4 gas and high unemployment will be the greatest challenge he ever faced

Did anyone notice Jennifer G's makeover, facelift ,moles removed and she wanted to tax haircuts and manicures! She traveled the world on our tax dollars and brought maybe 200 jobs to Michigan, while others were being laid off by the thousands. She was also in cahoots with Kwami. So glad she is gone! plus Clinton as a speaker???? doesn't anyone remember what a liar he is? " I did not have sexual relations with that woman" or how about Didn't inhale".

Oh dear Larry - really? So Jennifer never did anything wrong and was in an impossible situation? Oh - I forgot - it was the legislature that stalled all of her wonderful ideas!!!!??? Really, that is just not the case dear. She claimed while in office to blow us away - and if it wasn't for the Republicans in the MI House and Senate - we would be blown to Candada. She really is a great speech-maker, but her ideas are all wrong. Marianne Williamson and Oprah adore her, they have their little group of millionaires who supported Obama and are doing their best to brainwash the women in America. We shall see what they try to pull next. Oprah cried when Obama was elected, and so did I!!!!

Jennifer Tax holm! blamed things on Engler, upped Cig. taxes 1.00 right away spoiled my summer vacations by having our summer taxes including the school tax so I had to pay the higher tax in the summer, and it was downhill from there. I could not believe she even got re- elected Union support is my guess.Her new mansion was built, and paying a cook $100 thousan for 2 weeks in Mac. Island awlful, not to mention her affair with Kwami's father got hushed up too fast. She was the worst Gov. Mich. ever had!
4:24 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
I don't know a lot of people who are happy with the current administration. I work with union members, salary personnel, and outside vendors all day long. I would say that 85% of the people that I have talked to will not vote for this President again. I'm always surprised at the polls that show the race so close.
As far as Moley Granholm goes, she looked crazy. she keeps saying that BO saved the auto companies, but that's a lie. George Bush signed the bail out paperwork with a $17.4 billion dollar deal for GM and Chrysler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N5kRVfmMoE
I guess if you keep saying it enough and the media keeps things consistent long enough, people start to believe it. GM is going to file for bankruptcy again because their European sales have fallen way off. The taxpayers are already losing in the deal.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to try the other guy. It may not matter considering Spain is counting our votes now. http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-776220
5:43 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
Aaron -
"I'm going to try the other guy" - We did Aaron, it was GWB. Romney promises to go back to EXACTLY those same economic policies + another 5 Trillion in more tax cuts (on TOP of Bush cuts) and doubling Defense. It's a "wait till I run the numbers after the election" as to when the budget will balance, which line items are cut to make it possible, and how that further depresses employment. It's a 'No Thanks' for me.
Blindly going for the "other guy" doesn't usually work so well. Especially when they want to just go back to what tanked us a few short years ago.
Don't feel bad, the Republican party left me too.
Also, watch where you get your information. This "CNN" link says "NOT vetted by CNN", and it's submitted by mystery author "unclaimed". And if you scroll down the cited data is a right wing blog using unverified information, and a 2 yr old Fox News article about a computer problem which has now been remedied.

What now Mr. President? Seems that Jennifer Grandholm was not telling us the truth the other night at the DNC. What's up?
5:39 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
Random thoughts...
Jennifer-what was she on? Clinton-philanderer and chief! Wasserman-caught in a bold face lie. Biden-dufus, a heart beat way from the presidency. Clooney and Longoria-experts on the economy? Is this the best Obama can do to represent/speak for him? Scary, very scary indeed.
Obama Care-not good enough for him, the legislature or the unions-but good enough for me?
GM-$26 billion that will never be paid back. Forbes has predicted GM will go under 3-4 years. What then?
For, me it really comes down to the fact that we cannot keep printing and borrowing money from China. And this precisely what Obama intends to do.
Obama must go. He had his chance and he blew it.
6:22 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
Please look up any other source to satisfy your curious mind. I used those sites because they were convenient. There are plenty other articles that state the same thing.
The difference between many on this board and I is that I LIVED IN MA when Romney was governor. I have seen what he can do first hand. If I wanted to get the economy started I would go with a very successful business man and governor over our current lead from behind occupier of the white house.
Our debt and deficit is already killing us. Obama says he'll use the money to support the war to building bridges and highways. That money is being borrowed right now. Is an empty argument and most people know it. Each person owes $140,000 to pay of the problems we have.
Is it fair that people have made welfare a lifestyle versus working? I don't know about you, but I'm all for taking care of the sick and old, but able bodied people should be allowed a window to use welfare and then come off it. Entitlement reform is needed as well as auditing the spending in our country. I don't want to see my taxpayer money going to artists who get paid to put a cross ina jar of urine, but we pay it regardless if we agree with it. I will support what I know. Mitt Romney will get the job done.
7:21 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
Aaron - I did, and could only find dozens of right wing blogs touting the same conspiracy theories. The only other listing was on the debunking site Snopes - debunking email forwards, urban legends, conspiracy theories, etc. They exposed this theory as FALSE http://www.snopes.com/info/faq.asp. It doesn't help anyone right or left to propagate false stories.
Yes, I lived in MA as well. I've been a fan of Romney ever since his '94 run against Kennedy. I voted for Romney. Very familiar with his pol career, have read several of his policies such as Romneycare - successfully implemented + a fascinating document to read - completely modeled after Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act of '93 (R-Chaffee). Know of his successes and practices at Bain through friends in the financial industry, and a close relative that sold his company to Bain while Romney was there. I was hoping for McCain/Romney in 2008, but it didn't happen.
Unfortunately, he's been unable to run as the pragmatist he used to be, and will be unable to govern as such. And has remodeled his economic plan and core values according the fringe of the party. He has shown zero capacity to have an independent moment to stand up to this fringe at all on anything social or fiscal. Then, I read his 59 pt Plan. In short, the math doesn't work, and reads like a recipe to a double dip. Ryan's works, in 2040, but only with wild assumptions of 2% unemplyment. I must say all this has really alarmed me.
7:46 pm on Friday, September 7, 2012
Nice name. Neither of the candidates are perfect, but I can see Romney making a major impact in a positive way. I have seen him work with others of varying political beliefs.
I have more hope of a brighter future with Romney in office. I think if he gets in, jobs will flow because he will make things easier for business to succeed. I would also bet that he gets them to bring corporate money back from PO boxes in low tax havens in Europe for a one time tax at a reasonable rate.
Like I said before, I'm not blind in this process. I would rather believe in a brighter future for all Americans versus coddling the 47% of those who continue to be on government assistance. Job growth will help people feel good about themselves again and give them self worth.
People have given up and they feel that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The existing president wants to keep people under the government's thumb to ensure the voting base is tied to the democratic party.
Romney has my vote because he has talked about making America great again. Obama has old stale quotes that the public does not believe in anymore. He has been exposed as a big government President and out country needs a more nimble entity versus the bloated behemoth it has become.
Good bless everyone as they make their decision.
9:08 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Aaron – I'm not picking on you, but I think you should see how some of your beliefs are based on opinion and hearsay, rather than fact.
"Obama's last proposal got voted down with no support from anyone in his own party."
This was a offensive political stunt - the R's submitted an outline of O's budget -a nonsense version containing lists of titles and numbers only - no details – NOBODY could approve it. The only purpose was to embarrass POTUS, make for great propaganda, and waste taxpayer money and time. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/house-and-senate-unanimously-reject-obama-budgets-or-do-they/
"He operates by executive order versus working with the process." Obama has used 134, the LEAST number of EO's going back to 1929. http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/disposition.html
The MOST EO's? The last prez's with terms during the last Depression –FDR gave 1155/term, Hoover 995. By comparison, this actually shows incredible RESTRAINT in use of EO's, indeed FAVORING the legislative process, and reflecting his knowledge of, and respect for, the Constitution. As you say, he WAS a Constitutional professor.
"He is officially the worst President in the history of the US." Arguably, that would be W and Hoover –also, the last two businessman prez's.
I don't imagine I would ever change your mind, and I know it's a personal decision, but thought you should know the details to your "facts."

8:07 am on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Ahh! Such short memories we all have.
4 years ago, I was out of work, and of all the people I know, most of them were too. Notice how quiet the do nothing congress has been? The republican majority Congress?
It's not Obama holding us back, it's the republicans and their "Jam it down you throat" mentality.
Wise up! The Presidency is being bought! Nobody living in Shelby Twp. is rich enough to be a republican.
8:42 am on Saturday, September 8, 2012
That's too funny! Wyandotte, Shelby, and everywhere else in Michigan has no conservative people living in your area! Keep telling yourselves that.
There are plenty of conservative people in or state.and you may even live next to one of them.......ooooooooh noooooooo! It can't be!
If Obama gets elected again we'll all be worse off. Since he has come into office, there has been no budget and that doesn't have anything to with republicans. Obama's last proposal got voted down with no support from anyone in his own party. He was like the Lions 0-16! Even his own party knows his money management skills are terrible.
The Democratic led Congress has failed to close the check book and.we as taxpayers have suffered for it. By the way the house is led by republicans and Congress is led by democrats. On top of that Obama had super majority for his first two years.
Don't give me that republicans are the problem. Obama had to use the nuclear option to get his health care through. He operates by executive order versus working with the process. He is officially the worst President in the history of the US. He lacks the knowledge to make the economy go and how would he? He was a professor and community organizer in one of the most corrupt cities in the world. This has been one of the biggest disappointments or country had ever experienced. When he goes, it will be.for the better.
10:27 am on Saturday, September 8, 2012
Another case of memory loss! The financial system collapsed after the 2008 election while Bush was at the helm. When Bush came into office when there was no federal deficit and a surplus created by the previous Democratic administration. It was Bush who started the whole ball rolling downhill.
Republicans were not the problem? And the current Republican Congress isn't the problem now?

The Republicans critized President Clinton because he was not a military veteran, where is that argument with Romney? Where is the argument that you don't change presidents during a war? I heard all this criticism from republicans for 20 years, so now it is not an issue! Interesting how the hypocricy is so rampant in the republican party. Oh yes where is Sarah Palin and her devote following? looks like they have been shut down by the republican party. Where is the T.E.A. party and its devote followers in the republican party?

I agree with you a 100% DT. The fear factor is the worst obstruction and people listen to it instead of investigating the allegations. We have most of the answers at our finger tips, we just have to go and find them.

Good Luck out there getting a job if Obama gets another 4 years. He has used our tax dollars to outsource oil, coal, automotive jobs, yes automotive jobs, as well as our technology to Russia & China (aren't these communist countries?). Romney is doing legally what a free man wants to do with his own money. He is not using ours and throwing away billions on energy that doesn't work instead of using our natural resources here. Obama wants to give the U.S. a smaller footprint in the world - using our money to do it! Wake up America!

Jobs were lost during President Geaorge W. Bush's 8 years in office and 6 years of a republican congress and continued into President Obama term, jobs are now being added. Just like the Great Depression it will take many years to recover. The Great Recession, like the Great Depression , is world wide and not just Michigan or the United States. The bleeding has stopped and the journey has begun FORWARD!!!

I can just hear them prepping Granholm for her big speech: "OK, talk sort of black but not as much as Joe Biden or Obama would...Just add as much ebonics as you can get away with considering your pasty white complexion and Canadian birth." Her performance was so gratuitous I wanted to PUKE! It was really that bad and that hackneyed. And the idiots cheering for her? I say Honey Boo Boo for the Democratic nomination.....I bet even Ed McNamara wanted to puke from beyond the grave. How can African Americans hear someone like Granholm or Biden speaking to them like that and not want to punch them in the nose? What are they thinking? "Listen to her! Jennifer Granholm is just like us!" She should stick with her talk show because she has to be one of the worst actresses and orators I've ever heard.

"talk sort of black"? Black like who - James Earl Jones, Al Sharpton, Michelle Obama? You and your ilk continue to race bait and spread fear, resentment, and anxiety. You are not pulling FOR the United States. You are willing to burn it all down as long as there is no black man sitting in the Oval Office. That's all you have: fear and resentment. It even colors your vision - most rational commentators, even Republican commentators, thought Granholm's device of showing just how wide spread the benefit of saving the auto industry was effective. Your propensity for and almost worship of violence ("to punch them in the nose") is sick.
One additional benefit of President Obama's re-election will be the repudiation of these race baiting tactics and the rejection of a philosophy that rooting for the failure of the United States is a good thing. It isn't.

The republicans policy is no goverment interference in the free market, so you can not blame President Obama then.

"NOMINATION" ???? H-mmm
Accept "responsibility" first, Mr O.
Accept the "JOB DUTIES" to get things done.
Accept the Facts: You inherited "The Greatest Military in the World"
Accept the Facts: There are "MORE UNEMPLOYED" today than the day "YOU"
took office.
Accept the Fact: Obama-Care? There is No care in Obamacare-- IT IS A Health-TAX. Only Doctors, nurses,hospitals, Rx can provide health care.
Why shouldn't 26 year olds and pre-existing conditions be paid by those who want it. over 250mil people already have sufficient health care.
Let's just give anyoone who "Proves" they earn less than $20,000 the necessary $5,000 to buy thier own Health insurance.
That plan would save your "stupid" obama-TAX from all of us.
Anyone who votes for Obama because of the Health-TAx is a "hypocrite" to society.
That you would force others to pay for non-workers, lazy people, drug addicts, unwed mother babies, in the name of "COMPASSION"
The real "free-loaders" are those who spend their money on Luxuries like ipods and cable and car radios while never saving One cent for that doctor visit.
Yet, those are the ones that like Obama--He feels their pain.
Give me a break, because I feel Obama supporters are "selfish" and contribute to the crime of "stealing" from hard-working Americans.
The Duke of Royal Oak
7:15 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012
There was welfare reform under President Clintons Presidency. Every president since President Roosevelt has wanted to establish a health care program for the country. President Nixon was very close to a health care program. I know that change is hard for some, just like those that opposed woman's right to vote and civil rights. The health insurance companies have raised rates too high, reject claims and cancell their customers. The democratic party stated at the Democratic National Convention that the platform of the party is not that of laziness,drug addicts ,etc....but those that are willing to work and improve themselves by education, training etc.
7:49 pm on Saturday, September 8, 2012
DT: So are CAR prices too high!
So are Home prices Still TOO high!
So are Ipod Ipad Prices too high!
Does that mean We all should "chip in" substantial amounts of our pay to buy anything labeled "non-affordable" (cars,Homes,Ipads' for the poor!)
At that , no one would ever "WORK" in America ever.
Health care is a cost of lifestyle. Always has been.
It was always paid from our own checks to the doctors and hospitals.
INSURANCE complacency has removed any sense of responsibility.
All studies show that anything "insured" is abused.
Guaranty of Fixed air cond rates makes us not turn off the Air cond
Guaranty auto insurance makes us drive more unconcerned about damages.
All you could eat -Buffetts is proof positive that you offer any portion of anything with a "free" element, the public user will abuse it.
Hence, you get Waste and rising prices.
That is why health care goes up, That is why Tuitions will NEVER stop going up.
Obama-Health-TAX is simply another TAX on society.
It will ZERO AFFECT on rising Health care --WHY?
Because The doctors, hospitals, Rx drug companies Know that TAXES can always be raised to pay whatever they want.
Clip this and save it. One day you will understand just how we live.

GM (A Corporation) is "PEOPLE" it is Alive! Declared Biden & Granholm.
Rebuttal Corporations "ARE" people.
Why? Corporations:
1) Have checking accnts.
2) Can be sued
3) Can sue
4) Pay taxes PAY TAXES! PAY TAXES! (well sometimes)
5) Are 'born" (articles by the people stockholders)
6) Are "aborted" (by stopping business)
6a) Can file BANKRUPTCY like people.
7) can Die ( by dissolution)
8) Get sick-- (that's losing money some years)
9) can gamble (develop new products)
9a) Can sign CONTRACTS. Like people.
9b) Can hire lawyers.
10) can own cars
11) can buy medical insurance
12) pay bills---Can invest in stocks--can own computers--
YEP! So next time Biden says: GM LIVES! remember that's WHAT PEOPLE DO.
I guess Biden agrees that GM LIVES! (It has a "life" like people-persons)
Obama "Resurrected" GM from the Dead. !!!!!
The "Messiah" has certainly proved that-- GM (A Corporation) is a Person-PEOPLE coming back from the Dead..
(he saved millions of "people" jobs by the many Corporations doing business with GM). ( Catholics believe in 3 persons in one GOD-- so is GM millions of "Person's" in one CORPORATION?
Any one person self-employed or (Corporation) is a "PERSON"
Geez-Democrats love re-defining America. It shows on every thing they say.
Corporate wedding is called "A MERGER"
Marriages Between a (steelmill-steelmill), (CornFlake-FrostedFlake)

Sounds like hypocracy. I dont think you can walk into a car dealership and would get a car just because you need or want one. So your comparisons are irrationale to say the least I pay school taxes yet do not use the school system and do not whine about that.

Both sides of the spectrum have their talking points. Many of the things that have been discussed can be twisted to either side. The government is bloated and we do not have enough revenue to continue to grow entitlements including healthcare for EVERYONE.
When will we address that? The democrats have put forth no budget since BO has come to power. How does this continue? As far as Bill the cigar king, republicans controlled the purse strings and got the surplus.....not cigar boy.
The republicans kept Bill in check. He had to work with them. BO may use executive orders at a lesser rate, but the issues he bypasses are big.
Can we all agree that the spending needs to stop? Or are we so partisan that we can't even see that? I don't know about you, but I REFUSE TO LEAVE MY KIDS WITH A MESS LIKE THIS. I would like to see a flat tax and Everyone pays. No more freeloaders. It's time everyone has some skin in the game.
12:06 am on Sunday, September 9, 2012
Ok, Aaron, valid questions. "Can we all agree that the spending needs to stop?"
The answer is yes. The question is when. Our national debt problem is subordinate to our employment problem, and addressing that by way of addressing a number of other national priorities is the alternative.
The GOP House sang a song about jobs - jobs, jobs, jobs - and then abandoned a jobs agenda because of the pact they made as the President took office: "do everything and anything to obstruct the progress of the country". Surely this kind of craven partisanship and failed focus should not be rewarded by returning them to power in any arena!
"I REFUSE TO LEAVE MY KIDS WITH A MESS LIKE THIS." This "mess" will not be fixed overnight. It is clear your kids will be dealing with some artifacts of this debt.
"I would like to see a flat tax" And I would like to see a more progressive tax. As to having skin in the game, virtually everyone does. Our problems don't derive from people not having skin in the game - had we stayed with the tax system in place in 2000, the projections would be very different. But we were taken on a wild ride, where the tax and regulatory policies proved toxic to our well being. Well, the well being of most of us. People like Romney? Not so much.
"No more freeloaders." Just what do you mean? Who are these freeloaders, and how much do they contribute to the deficit - or anything else? I'm really curious - I'm sure you are not refering to children, right?
12:06 am on Sunday, September 9, 2012
Here's the rub: the case being made by the GOP today is "Yeah, we left the President a pretty bad economy (wish he'd stop reminding everyone). Nevertheless, the President has taken too long (3.8 years) to fix what we did (in 8 years) (and yeah, we had a lot to do with that, but shhhh), so you the voters (human and corporate) should fire him and let us back in to do (some say finish) the job."
... and then they offer a team whose approach is "We'll do better. We can't tell you specifically how. Elect us and we'll tell you." ("Paul Ryan admits 'We haven't run the numbers' on Romney-Ryan budget plan, but trust him, it's great" - http://goo.gl/JmDt5)
My children are already dealing with this mess. I refuse to make it worse - that's why I and many others will vote Obama/Biden 2012. I encourage you to do so too.

2:40 pm on Sunday, September 9, 2012
that's the part I don't get. The Republican congress actually made it a priority to make the Obama a one term President at the expense of all those poor souls who lost their homes, including voting down their own ideas after the president agreed with them.

In my opinion, he ranks well below Jimmy Carter as of now and will likely be judged as one of the most left wing presidents of the early 21st century when it is all said and done-- just a hunch!
7:22 am on Monday, September 10, 2012
Sarah, the PPACA has been declared CONSTITUTIONAL. While the real world is anathema to you, recognize that your assertion "passing a national health care program which technically violates the constitution" is wrong, misleading, and a lie.
Can we stop with the lying about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a., Obamacare? It is constitutional. Geting such a landmark act passed and declared constitutional is indeed a mark of a leader.

Wow! Is GM a Liberal?
GM is still getting major subsidy from Obama.
1) It does not have to pay taxes on it's profits for 10 years.
2) Every Volt sold gets GM a $9,000 checks from the Govt.
3) GM pays No interest on the loans.
4) GM will never pay back about $25Billion received to keep jobs of the highest paid workers in America.
It will be history in 7 years. Without the subsidies, GM would be reporting Losses.

First: Boy am I glad you are OK. Tackling a desperate knife toting convict = big risk.
If you'd had access to a firearm I don't think it would have made much difference - not really acceptable to shoot a fleeing man, or an unarmed one. By the time you found out he had a knife, you'd already closed in to arm's length from him. The gun wouldn't have done much good - there's a thread here about Tueller drills and such - if you'd gone for it once you realized he had a knife.
I agree that pinning his arms to foul his knife draw might have been a good idea. What had he stolen?

About Frankos Frankos Maps began in 1992 when I was just trying to suit my own want of a map for mountain biking the local trails near my home in Corona, California. Inventing cartographic methods, I created Frankos Map of Santa Ana Mountains, plus Frankos Map of Chino Hills State Park. Since those beginnings, Ive expanded a bit: First, I added more trail maps, including Frankos Map of Big Bear!, and Frankos Map of San Joaquin Hills (later renamed Frankos Map of South Coast Wilderness). Then I made a series of six California islands and coastal maps, starting with a map of my beloved Santa Catalina Island. I then created a series of Hawaiian Islands maps, an enormously ambitious endeavor, yet obviously fun. Frankos Map of Oahu led to a second Oahu map, called Frankos Oahu Surfing Map. This success led to my developing Frankos Map of Orange County Surfing and Frankos Map of San Diego Surfing, and there are more surfing maps coming. Simultaneously, I came up with an new type of fish cards, which are really miniature Frankos Maps on side 1, with local undersea creatures on side 2. Along the way Ive made boating and fishing related maps too, such as Frankos Map of Big Bear Lake, Frankos Map of Newport Harbor and Upper Newport Bay, and Frankos Map of Mission Bay. The Newport map was originally made to suit my own enjoyment of kayaking there. All of the above maps are printed on plastic paper so that they are waterproof and rip-proof. The use of plastic is just right for use in the mountains, islands, ocean, harbors and lake environments. Of course there will be more and more Frankos Maps in the future. |

At the same time the prosecution tightened its effort to llnli EJlchmann dlreqtly with the bestialities, tortures and deaths described by the witnesses.

A Large Bank Loan Is Given To UJFC For Quick Aid To Israel A bank loan of $360,000 has been made available to the United Jewish Fund and Council to provide immediate help to fcrael, it was announced recently. The loan, made at the request of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc., the newly created American agency which controls the expendi¬ tures of all philanthropic funds in Israel raised by the United Jewish Appeal, is part of a planned program to liquidate the Indebtedness of the Jewjah Agency. Mrs. Mitchell Ooodmon Deadline News For Jiine 2 Chronicle All copy and photographs to appear in the Friday, June 2 edition of the Chronicle MUST be In our office by Fri¬ day, May 28, 5 p.m., the regu¬ lar deadline. Because of the Memorial Day holiday on May 30, no copy or photos to appear In the June 2 Issue will be ac¬ cepted, under any circum¬ stances, after this regular deadline. There will be no ex¬ ceptions. THE INDEBTEDNESS has ac¬ cumulated the last 10 years and now totals $65 million. The need for borrowing resulted from the failure of the United Jewish Appeal, and in turn the local American Jewish communi¬ ties, to provide sufficient funds to finance the Immigrant absorp¬ tion programs In Israel, particu¬ larly tn the early days of the cre¬ ation of the State when Immigra¬ tion was at its heaviest. IN THE FIRST five years after Israel was founded, the rate of Immigraitlon each year exceeded 100,000 persons. The burden this presented to a native population of 600,000 was overwhelming. When faced with the alternative of curtailing immigration or bor¬ rowing funds, the decision was made by the Jewish Agency, which at that time waa adminis¬ tered by an Israeli and represent¬ ative group of world Jewry, to borrow rather than shut the door to Immigrants. BORROWINO, therefore, took place in substantial measure from numerous sources Including for¬ eign banks, individuals, and di¬ rectly by the Jewish Agency itself. In 1954, United Jewish Appeal asked more than 100 communities In the United States to borrow funds from their local banks for varying periods, usually three to five years. PROCEEDS OF these loans were uaed to repay the short-term indebtedness of the Jewlah Agen¬ cy and United Jewish Appeal, which was made higher than the usual rates of interest only be¬ cause this was the only quick way funds could be rushed to Israel to take care of the thou¬ sands of immigrants who were arriving each week. As the payments to banks fell due, this required a sizeable pro¬ portion of the total funds raised by United Jewish Appeal and further penalized Israel because it restricted the current funds available. AS A RESULT, as loans were gradually reduced, new borrowing look place, and during the past six years the total amount out¬ standing was. In effect, reduced very little. The newly created Jewish Agen¬ cy, which came into being In 1960 with a board of 21, 20 of whom are leading members of the Amer¬ ican Jewish community. Immedi¬ ately addressed themselves to the orderly process of debt liquidation. "CHE JEWlSa Agency, after a careful examination of the pro¬ grams in Israel — utilizing studies and reports of objective and ex¬ pert economists including Dr. Isa¬ dore Lubin — concluded that the programs in Israel over these years have been carried out creditably and "are consistent with the standards of accounting, budgeting and welfare administra¬ tion as practiced by the. best of similar organizations in the Unit¬ ed States." The Jewish Agency, concluded, however, that some plan had to be formulated lo liquidate this in¬ debtedness and the current plan was adopted, IN ACCORDANCE with this plan, 50 of the largest Jewish communities in the United States, including Columbus, were asked lo borrow a total of $65 million. Columbus' share towards tills na¬ tional program is $360,000. New York banks agreed initially to participate in this total loan to the extent of $25 million, providing other communities throughout the United States successfully con¬ cluded arrangements with their local banks totalling $40 million. TERMS ARE that these loans shall be repaid on the basis of 10 per cent each year. This plan, therefore, projects the total liqui¬ dation of these loans during a 10-year period. There is also on understanding that there will be no additional borrowing for any purpose what¬ soever by the Jewish Agency for the work sponsored by It. SHOULD THERE be any un¬ foreseen emergencies In the world situation during this period and should this require funds which are not available otherwise, the American Jewish communities vrill be consulted and no plan In¬ volving securing funds from any other source will be undertaken without their express consent. In this way the annual debt liquidation program will Involve $6,500,000 plus debt-service costs. Columbus will, therefore, repay $36,000 a year according to this plan, plus interest. THE TOTAL amount repaid the bank, Including debt service, will be credited against the allocation due the United Jewish Appeal from the United Jewish Fund and Council campaign. Tills Is the pattern which will be carried out through the United States. Today, more than 100 communi¬ ties owe the banks for sums bor¬ rowed In behalf of United Jewish Appeal. In accordance with this program, the number of com¬ munities participating will be con¬ solidated to 50. THE UJFC owed the local hank (Contlnuad on paaa 4) A DESCRIPTION of the suc¬ cessful efforts by the Norwegian underground to save hundreds of Jews from tho Country's Nazi oc¬ cupiers was given by Mrs. Hen- rlette Samuel, ^yldow of the chief rabibl ot Norway's 1700 Jews. She presented a dramatic ac¬ count of how the Norwegian Jews were first warned of Im¬ pending Gestapo seizures and then smuggled across the border Into Sweden In sub-zero temperatures. Rabbi Samuel refused to leave his people and was token to Ausch¬ witz and murdered on Dec. 16, 1942. THE OBEYING survivor told how, one night In November of that year, she received a telephone call from a neighbor siie called Inge, a member of the under¬ ground. "It is very cold tonight and I advise you to dress your children warmly," Inge told her. Mrs. Samuel awakened her chil¬ dren and addressed them. An hour later, Inge came and took Mrs. Samuel and her children, a sister- in-law and her two children to a nearby house. After a week of hid¬ ing, she said the five children and the two adults were brought at night to two trucks which had licenses to ship potatoes. The witnoes said, "We had to act like potatoes under the tar- pulln." The children had been given sleeping tablets. They said farewell to Inge—later identified as Ingeborg Sletten — and the trucks were driven across the border. In moving 40 other Jews into Sweden, In the same way, the underground operatives told the Jews "you are potatoes, don't say a word," the witness stated. MRS.

To Broadway BY LARRY SOPPEL, Ohronlcle Editor It's a long distance from Pittsfield, Mass. to Oolumbus, O., but It's even farther from Columbus to New York, when you're worlting toward Broadway. To I'aul Llpson, presently a featured player with the touring cast of "Fiorello," which appeared in Columbus recently, the road both directions has been interesting. LIPSON CAME to Columbus Kaplan In 1935. Rabbi Kaplan took over the reins of OSU'a Hillel Foundation and Llpson entered Ohio State. He could not afford living expenses so Rabbi Kaplan provided the third floor at the Hillel Foundation (or housing and made him director of activities. He arrived here in Rabbi Kap¬ lan's "broken dovsm (2hevy." hav¬ ing come across country after the rabbi came by train. "In those days no matter how poor you were," Lipson said, "you could achieve your goal. Today, you have to know where you're gonna go." LIPSON'S LIFE at OSU was not spectacular, but reminiscing the days gone by created an aura ot happiness for hjm. He recalled hia classmiales, his Columbus friends and acqalntances and from Pittsfield with Rabbi Harry wanted to know what tiappened to many he iiadn't seen for many years. This was only his second visit to (dolumbus since leaving, the first time being in 1946 after the war, buit this visit was most im¬ pressive. He told of driving down Ekist Broad Street from the air¬ port and coming upon the apart¬ ment buildings, Franklin Park and Temple llfereth Israel. "It looked like a bomb had hit it," Lipson said referring to the Tem¬ ple. "By the way is Rabbi ZeUzer still there?" he asked. "I remem¬ ber hUn." UPSON ARRIVED a day be¬ fore the opening of "Fiorello" to attend a reoeption tendered him by Dr. and Mra. Milton Parker. Dr. Parker was ono ot Llpaon's I roommates at HlUel and Paul [takes the credit for having Intro- . duced him to Mrs. Parker. "In addition to being 'director of activities' at Hillel, I had to do other work," he said. "I sold shoes at Lazarus, directed activities at the Schoenthal Center, founded the first scout troop at the Cen¬ ter and taught Sunday School at the Bryden Road Temple. You know, I never even saw a football game on Saturday afternoon." HIS INTEREST in theater was always with him, he explained. "I directed a Uttle review at the Schoenthal Center. A little fellow by the name of Herman Silver¬ man did a dance. He's Herkle Styles, you know." After spending four years here majoring In social administration, Llpson went to New York for one year to "get the theater bug out of my system. It wasn't encourag¬ ed in those days for a Jewish boy." BUT WHEN HE got started in New York, he decided that this was for him and he's been at it since. He made his Broadway detout in Ben Hecht's "Ully of the Valley," then spent four and one- half years as a captain in the Air Force, Resuming his theatrical career, he appeared pn Broadway in "Df;lective Story," "The Happy Time," "I've Got Sixpence" and spent two and one-half years with Judy Holliday in "Bells are Ring¬ ing." He toured with Carol Channlng in "Wonderful Town," and Walter Slezak in "My Three Angels." His first nationwide tour was as the Archbishop of Rhelms in "Joan of Lorraine" with Diana Etarrymore. He appeared with Phil Silvers on the Sergeant Bilko show as "Patsy the Bookmaker." LIPSON HAS been touring with "Fiorello" since November. He portrays La Guardia'a office man¬ ager Morris. "It'a comedy relief. I take all the guff," he said. "The play is booked through Jan. 27. He was "apprehensive" prior to his first appearance before a Co¬ lumbus audience, he explained.

At 2013 International CES in Las Vegas, Harman announced the U.S. launch of its infotainment system for BMW vehicles, which brings together wireless connectivity, navigation and productivity apps under an HTML5 interface to keep lawyers connected to their home and office when they're on the road. The Stamford, Conn.-based company is demonstrating the system at CES in a BMW 3-series vehicle as a key component of the German automaker's "ConnectedDrive."
Drivers can connect to their email servers and dictate emails, texts, and voice mails and send them via the system's mobile uplink to a satellite or cellular network. They can also connect to Facebook and internet radio through an embedded iPhone app with the option to load thirdparty apps in development. A short video on the company website also shows users synching their smartphones with the device using near field communications or NFC.
The Harmin unit has a high-resolution 1280 x 480 display and a 1.3 GHz processor with features such as a 3-dimensional "bird's-eye" view of city streets, weather information, and the ability to enter destinations with city, street, and building number in sequence. Unlike the outdated GPS on that SUV you bought 10 years ago, Harman's software architecture is upgradeable, promising an up-to-date system at least until tablet-style interfaces are obsolete. The technology will be available in 7-, 5-, and 3-series vehicles.

text: It is real simple people. Shoot it on any film format Super 8mm, 16mm, Super 16mm or if you have a decent budget 35mm and if you're Coppola or Spielberg 65mm then transfer it to digital for a composite Master and for the distributors who would normally have to risk millions on thousands of 35mm or 70mm prints. That is if there are still any major house film projectors in operation. It is not digital or film. It is shoot on film and distribute on digital. That is the beautiful future. If we filmmakers compromise half way then more distributors will give us a deal as long as they don't have to spend all that money of thousands of prints. Remember it is the film business. Not the film warm and fuzzy feeling association. It is a business and the core of any business is to make more money than spent. To shoot digital is too risky look what happened with Toy Story. Millions were spent on the production and then it was all accidentally erased. If someone on the production team had not had a back up copy at their house (by chance) then it would have meant disaster for producer and distributors and the investors. I personally would rather see one of the majors put more money into TV advertising than in prints. It the new way and it is better than the old way. So let us stop the division among ourselves and agree to shoot it on film and distribute it on digital. If you look at producer directors like Cameron and Lucas who now only shoot on digital, you also will see that they spend a fortune on these movies anyway. They prefer digital for artistic and other reasons like no blur when the action on scene is fast because it was shot to the equivalent of what would be sixty frames per second. But to me that is a pale comparison to what film even at 24fps has to offer from a look (overall) perspective. If you ever went to one of my late friend Brian England's (A.C.E.) film and digital side by side comparison you would in no way choose to shoot on digital. There was no competition, digital looked like what it is and that is video and film looked like what it is and that is FILM!!! Digital shooting is still good for TV small screen or computer monitor so what difference does that make. But the theatrical screen belongs to film other wise it is like popcorn without the butter, salt and scent. Yeah you may be eating popcorn but there is the cost of taste flavor and joy. Also as technology changes in digital so does how you shoot it on digital what was good yesterday may not be workable tomorrow. Just shoot it on film and have it distributed on digital a perfect marriage.
