Well, I guess all is now well in Michigan. Obama's Stimulus money has created enough new jobs to rehire all those who were laid off.

I don't want to hear anymore from MIchael Moore about how tough these are in Michigan. Everything is now fine.

As to why taxes are still rising in Michigan. I'm sure Granholm has never worked harder in her life for anyone. Obviously you just have'nt been paying attention enough to notice the stimulating she has done for you. Now its time for you to return the favor through higher taxes.

How's that hope and change working out for you?

I hope you received letter I already wrote and hopefully submit button worked but even though my words were meaningful regarding the por state of Michigan led by another foreigner, I annot rewrite, except to say, the corruption in the state has lowered the standards of a once mighty state,which now leads the way toward the "Change" our current -ahem-Leaders- in this country for selfish reasons wish to lower America's status as a once proud leader of nations in this world.

To put it simply, we must pull together and stop it in it's tracks before it is too late. It is not too late, especially if those with their eyes closed would open them and see what id trul happening. It is all a power grab led by someone, who has chosen the weak and is guiding them toward some sort of agenda, once again, with power being the sole cause, using religion as usual as a reason.

If you received the other brief memo I wrote, feel free to delete this.

Michigan, due to corruption, the unions, lobbyists, the MEA Union(teachers) and government waste( let's build the same road we built two years ago) and the inability of congress to get along on anything, and of course the union 'fat cats' lining their pockets with union workers dues, and voting for them,asthey see fit regardless of workers wishes, which is and has been standard practice for years, Michigan, not by much, is the leader of the pack, in front of New Jersey, California, Illinois, the home of the annointed messiah, our shameless socialist leader, and many more that I can't even think of, there are just too many, all with their hands out,(saving jobs), under the assumption of helping the people, especially the middle class which no longer exists, a socialist must and the first priority on there list toward complete socialism,Marxism, Fascism or whatever you prefer to call it.

For this reason, I have left the state, much, much too depressing, but unfortunately, Florida,where I have come to temporarily, has joined the list and is catching up rather quickly, so where to next. Maybe should have just gone to my first choice, Central America, where I cannot understand the language, therefore I do not know what is realy happening, for the moment anyway.

I love you Michigan, but you are leading the way toward the destruction of this country I love.

Wake up people, it may seem so but it is still not too late to stop them, for it is they who wish for change, a change the are getting because there are so many out there that just do not get it, and if they do, shame on them, for we must add them to the list that must be stopped as well and it must and can be done. Just think and act with your mind, do not listen to those that would destroy this country, imperfect, yes, much more perfect than "they" would have us believe.

Pull together "NOW" before it is too late.

Welcome to reality Michigan! I'm always reminded of Harry S. Truman's Statement,"How many times does a man have to hit you in the head with a shovel, before you figure out he ain't your friend?"

Great post, Mike!

We all need to understand that the lousy economy is the source of Obama's ability to seize power and bring about socialism. His administration will not seriously address the economic issue at the level of the populace until he has accomplished more of his objectives.

Billions earmarked to create jobs has a convincing ring to it but the money is not being effective. News of how the economy is improving because it is worsening at a lesser rate is of scant comfort to the Detroiter who lost his job, saw his house auctioned for $500, and may get free health care instead of food and shelter.

Until the Obama administration's work is done, good economic news from his administration will be via smoke and mirrors. I have to believe that Obama got what he wanted for the billions he spent, which was no jobs, no economic improvement, and some credit for trying.

Give up on thinking that the guy who never ran a lemonade stand has the savvy to make jobs or save jobs.

Obama's biggest business deal was giving millions of Annenberg (who was a conservative) money to Ayers for his experiments in socialistic education.

Yes, I would say this to my dear departed mother at the dinner table and she would agree.
