Monday, 2:36 p.m. This is George. I have a comment. He attended church for 20 years, called his pastor his mentor. He didn’t know his pastor was a racist. He started his campaign in a mans kitchen, and he didn’t know he was a terrorist. His administration was transparent. He and his buddies crafted a health bill without his own party getting a shot at input. Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi said he’s got to pass it so we’ll know what it says. Let’s buy an automobile and then check to see if it has an engine, wheels, steering wheel and so forth. He hid his college grades. Why? Maybe he wasn’t proud of them. And we elected this man as our president?
Wednesday, 7:18 p.m. Yeah this is Bobby. Commenting on the column letter to the editor that Joel Miller put in Wednesday’s paper. That all sounds good that we need manufacturing back and we’ll all make $20 an hour. But that’s one of the main reasons that we lost manufacturing. Because all the unions demanded that we all make more, more and more money. And they can go overseas and get it made cheaper. They want to unionize Walmart. Well if everyone at Walmart made $20 an hour Walmart would go out of business because it wouldn’t be a cheap place to shop. That’s why everybody goes out there. I worked for Ford Motor Company out there in Detroit a long time ago. And most manufacturing like that, it’s not skilled; it’s just doing the same thing 600 times an hour. But for some reason, they think they deserve $100,000 a year and benefits. That’s one reason why it’s gone belly up so much. And as far as his comment on Mitt Romney is gong get rid of Medicare. I’ve never heard of Mitt Romney saying that. They talked about if you’re under 55 years old giving you a choice, and I don’t know what’s so bad about a choice. Thank you.
