Dandandat - I think your title is an unfair swipe at Obama. The bailout is the responsiblity of the current administration. Tying it into the comments about "wealth redistribution" is totally unfair IMO. |

I went to Bank of America last Wednesday to see about getting some of that bailout money... I actually think I need it more than GM or AIG, because my company's present difficulties are not my doing, but that of a union. The Boeing machinists strike resulted in a work slowdown for Spirit Aerosystems, and that resulted in a work slowdown for my business. Sadly, monthly expenses didn't just go away as a result and I have a sales person I just hired during the summer, but revenue dropped in half and it is totally affecting my ability to stay in business. Well, now the strike is over, but the ripple effect hasn't caught up with my business and will not do so until January of 2009, but it's really hurting me now. I hate unions.

Wow, a little sensitive about Obama are we? First the bailout is not the "responsibility" of the current administration, it is the responsibility of a lot of people, the most culpable would be the congress. Second even if the bailout where the "responsibility" of the current administration, your comment makes little to no sense either way as I did not talk about Obama in this thread fairly or unfairly. I understand your desire to make everything about Obama, but his cult of personality issue is being discussed on other thread you should take your fawning there. Third were my title directed at Obama, it would than be a vote of confidence not an unfair swipe at him; as a his plan to redistribute wealth would see the countries money wrongfully used to pay CEOs bonuses go back to the people. But besides all of that, why not just stay on topic instead of defending Obama from unfairness that doesn’t even exist. Edited by Dandandat, Nov 17 2008, 10:01 AM.

Yeah, I thought about posting something about unions about 2 weeks ago, but just hadn't yet. And as far as whines about bailouts as "wealth redistribution" and how it is an "unfair swipe at Obama"... I think Edited by Dwayne, Nov 17 2008, 10:19 AM.

re-opened Dwayne - Please cease with telling us what you think non-Americans should or shouldn't do. We all have the right to comment in each and every thread. This Board has addressed this issue before. Your comment can easily be interpreted as baiting. Minuet - Please stay on topic. Dandandat explained his use of the title and it sounds perfectly reasonable. To anyone wishing to post in this thread - Please no more snipping. Edited by HistoryDude, Nov 17 2008, 12:00 PM.

I'm thinking of putting my millions and millions (of yen) into peanut butter futures. That way they'll stick to the roof of my mouth. |

Moderator Comment Dwayne, I have asked you before to keep those types of comments yourself. Sistertrek has an international group of members. Every has the right to an opinion. Not everyone agrees, but that's life. We are here to have a respectful and constructive discussion of all things, including Star Trek. I am issuing you a warning for baiting. You clearly tried to bait non-Americans into an argument. You may appeal if you wish. http://s2.zetaboards.com/SisterTrek/single/?p=8021193&t=5028120 End of Moderator Comment |
