He's old, he's tired, he's repetitive, and he is way, way past his
prime.

So are a couple of people here in rec.boats. :-)

The old f*rts here ain't runnin' for POTUS.

There's a couple I might consider voting for.

Meanwhile, your buddy Obama is making a huge mistake, I think. Back
from vacation, he's running around promising millions of new, union jobs.
He must have forgotten that union jobs make up a very small minority of
employment in the US and most non-union workers and employers want
absolutely nothing to do with them.

He isn't going to garner many votes with this approach.

Yes, indeed...the exploited lower middle income workers in this country
know that Job One is to work for less and with fewer if any bennies so
their corporate masters and stockholders can get richer, while they slide
into oblivion.

I do so wish I were younger sometimes, so that when the exploited finally
realize they've been getting screwed for generations, I could see some of
the heads they put on pikes.


That's not the group that Obama is alienating. The majority of jobs in
the US is in small, private companies.
For the most part, a "big" corporate culture doesn't exist and the owners
are typically the major (or only) stockholder.
These companies have a relationship with the employees quite different than
that you complain about and typically have no interest in unions, employees
or employer.

This workforce is the group that Obama will not appeal to with his promises,
and they represent the majority of voters.

I would have thought Obama would walk away with the election. It looks
like he is falling off a cliff, which is why Harry is going crazy with
these cut and paste article.

If he really wanted to make a difference, he would spend time doing
something productive to help, instead of spending all his time in rec.boats.

Actually, if Harry took up golf he would be helping Obama. The more he
posts here, the more he turns people away from his political stance. If
most liberals are like him, and many are, who would want to become one?

Five hours with Harry on the golf course, away from a computer, would
probably bring Obama's poll numbers way up.
