Lobbying For The Economy

Posted on January 22nd, 2010 in News Headlines,TJSky13 by TJSky

The Supreme Court has stripped down the regulations on business and union and their contributions to election campaigns. Now everyone is gearing up to spend spend spend on their favorite candidate to influence. The government rides their high horse to regulate the financial industry, as they should, but it’s ok to de-regulate election funds. Hmmm.

All kinds of earmarks will certainly go to local and special interest projects instead of to, I don’t know, rebuilding the economy for the masses. Speaking of which, Obama is going to Ohio to address those he addressed two years ago to get elected.

There were promises of an upswing in the job market and reinforcing job security as he connected with the average working class American. Instead he bailed out ungrateful banks who have bonus receiving executives and are back to making a profit. He also created jobs for the limited environmental sect, and spent money on a rack of other things that didn’t try to save the factories that let down their dedicated workers.

Obama gets to meet back up, face to face, with “Main Street” Americans and do what? Make more empty promises? Apologize that these people who were employed two years ago are now jobless with nothing on the horizon because of their age, skillset, and the lack of options in the classifieds?

You can’t tell me many of those people are excited he is coming. You can tell me that most of them regret their choice on their ballot and will not exactly be helping to get him re-elected. I have a sneaking suspicion that a Republican will be in office next term…unless they nominate another Bob Dole or John McCain to run…then maybe Obama will have a chance to keep his spot.
