Right Wingers Really Don't Like the United States

The wingers have taken crazy to the next level. An article The Detroit Bureau just made me think that right wingers really are out to destroy America.

What is it this time? It seems that they want to boycott GM cars and parts. They want to boycott a struggling AMERICAN company. GM,on the brink of shutting its doors and firing the last 50,000 or so employees, is about to be boycotted by the crazies on the right because Obama has bought a majority stake so the government can save the company.

The right is willing to put more people on the unemployment line for their political agenda. This is insane. While I know no current elected politicians will support this, if this picks up the GOP will have a large black eye for letting this to possibly pick up steam.

Obama's Image Still Strong

The AIG fiasco of a couple of weeks ago had several dems worried that the dem/Obama image might take a beating from all the outrage. But it turns out he's doing just fine and with him asking for and getting the resignation of the GM CEO, doesn't hurt his image either. '

Its a twofer. First, he looks like he's taking a hard line on the CEO's who have been getting paid tons on the tax payer dime. Second, the union workers get little angry with him as well. Why is the worker anger a good thing. Obama has to appear balanced between his job and the liberals. He/Biden have been working to get EFCA through and eventually it will get through. But, right now, for the rest of society to see that he's will to stand up to some groups that support him is good for his longterm image.

At the end of the day, the unions will continue to support Obama because he is working for their goals.
