Dear arpiem, there are 9 (nine) NINE rules for the use of capital letters; go study up on them!

Yes, John. Perhaps you should rethink that question about just "who is out of touch"! Liked your "buying thingamajigs with US Government thingamachecks" though. Now that's good! Consider this. With the educational system our politicians, Unions and the American work ethic have provided, we have an abundance of adults with skills for which Obama is the only buyer!

America is a free enterprise zone. Sell your vote to Obama for some food stamps, subsidized housing, cheap student loans, free health care "Free Bread and Circuses; (You remember how that turned out for them) No one in the world wants to buy our production or our labor at the prices we think they are worth! We seem to be priced out of the world market and now have only ourselves as a customersw for our goods and services. Amity Shales can tell you how well that worked out in the 1930s. All should read "The Forgotten Man". (Its just a little book, you can manage that.) Perhaps to some, Obama seems to be about the only buyer out there now.

I have told this before but will tell it again. My first effort at student teaching caused me some concern so I asked my Prof. for advice. He said, "PITCH IT LOW!" Larry I would pass that along to you and the financial wizards at TH. This article, like most is written for a peer group who know all the nuances. You are not the best communicators! Just today, we are treated to this eye opener from Potrykus: "According to the Int'l Adult Literacy Survey, 25% of men in the US cannot locate information in written text- They can't read a bottle of pills to find out how many pills to take! Here is something all would understand: Population growth adds 122,000 eligible workers monthly; 69,000 were hired!

I may be wrong here; a rare occasion for all to witness, but as I recall it was only a few months ago, perhaps 5 years that the European economy was LARGER than the US. Perhaps Ransom, Mike Shedlock or Larry Kudlow are waiting to take me down a peg! You fellows have my email so fire at will! My point here is to further remind the readers that that old song about us being the richest nation in the world; the richest the world has ever seen refers to Net Worth, Not Cash Flow! We have not a farthing and must borrow to feed our people. I feel it in my bones that some big spender in Government wants our Grandchildren to bail out Europe! We did that twice already and they never repaid a cent. Thats how that works out for us.

ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL ADULT LITERACY SURVEY, 25% OF MEN IN THE UNITED STATES CANNOT LOCATE INFORMATION IN WRI8TTEEN TEXT- THEY CAN'T READ A BOTTLE OF PILLS TO FIND OUT HOW MANY TO TAKE! AND THESE PEOPLE CAN VOTE???????????????????????????? Is That True???????????????????????????????????????????? Surely You Jest, Mr Poytrykus?????????????????????????????? THESE PEOPLE ARTE4 ALLOWED TO VOTE? SO THAT IS WHO ELECTED OBAMA!

Scott, you talk to those in academia and the media These are not your ignorant inner city klutzes. most all having Graduate Degrees. I naturally include the Media and Hollywood in those left leaning, Zealots for Obama, his administration and Policies. These Obama soldiers know what debt is, they all have investments, debt and Margin calls. They all know that Obama has added five Trillion to the Debt. They also know what he will do if given a second term. So ask them just how they think Obama would ever reduce the Debt, even if given twenty years in office? Knowing what they surely must, how can they want more of what he has already done?

Sadly, Dan most Americans will only act when they are "Shamed" into doing so. That one fact goes a long way to explain why Many, Many American voters cast a reluctant ballot for Obama. It is good reason to go back to the Library and re-read that great book by Shelby Steele entitled WHITE GUILT! More people should have read it before the 08 election.

Yes, Bill. Someome should expand on that point! Obama could have had a spot with numerous Law Firms or Liberal Indoctrinating Universities like those in Mexifornia, Oregon or Washington but he chose to imerse himself in the Vortex of Black Victimology where every conversation had refrences to the oppression of the MAN! Interestingly, the Socialist/Communist efforts of the 1930s to convince the Blacks to riot against society were THEN unsuccessful; Their chances of doing that seem somewhat improved today!

Whatever you thought Black voters stood for, they seem willing to abandon in order to make their Black Messiah a King. I personally think this looks like Racism! BUT I MAY BE WRONG! P0ERHAPS THOSE FLIP FLOPPING ARE ALL SIGHT CHALLENGED!
