  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.obamalisten.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.obamalisten.com&lt;/a&gt;  
 
This is not ok OBAMA 
 
China secures portions of job stimulus package for 3000 workers for green energy project, China got made because US steel used for project.  
 
India works with large corporations to reduce prices to secure portions of job stimulus package for India&#8217;s works. 
 
This is because there was not safety net preventing corporations from taking these funds over sees to create new jobs over seas the job stimulus package only stated that it create new jobs not that it create new jobs for Americans. </description>

		<description>All these arugements are moot because the monster called Health Care Reform is totally unconstitutional and should be interned in a shallow grave on the White House lawn. We need to return to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as our form of governance. I cannot say it enough. What made this country the envy of the world is our one of a kind in human history Constitution. </description>

		<description>So now I&#039;m reading on recent posts that Pelosi and the unions struck a deal which exempts them from the tax which the rest of us have to pay!  NO EQUALITY UNDER THIS UNDERHANDED LAW !  Things get worse instead of better when the crook hole up in the back room and make deals. </description>

		<description>Of course the unions don&#039;t want the tax on cadillac health plans.  That&#039;s because the unions all have cadillac health plans.  It&#039;s one of the reasons that the U.S. auto industry is no longer competitive in the world today.   
 
Those cadillac health plans, and lush pension plans, were taken into retirement by auto workers and American car makers are saddled with this continuing expense today.  Because of these retirement expenses, it costs American car makers about $77.00 dollars an hour to continue producing automobiles.  Foreign owned car makers with factories in the U.S., hiring American workers, can produce an automobile for about $53.00 an hour precisely because they do not have to meet the burden of these retiree health and pension benefits.   
 
It was yesterday&#039;s UAW members themselves who killed the goose that laid the golden egg.  They are the reason that the big three lost market share.  So why isn&#039;t Michael Moore doing an expose` called the UAW and Me?  Wwhy isn&#039;t  Michael Moore stalking the head of the UAW and badgering him with questions like &quot;Don&#039;t you think you owe all of the unemployed auto workers of this country an apology sir?&quot; or, &quot;Can you explain to the unemployed auto workers of today why they shouldn&#039;t be upset at UAW tactics over the past 50 years that cost them their jobs today?&quot;  Maybe Michael could interview the head of the UAW in his own hometown of Flint, MI. </description>

		<description>[...] Heritage&#8217;s Rob Bluey reports on comments from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka opposing the &#8216;Cadillac tax&#8217; and notes there are other issues that could strain relationships with labor leaders: The tax issue is just one factor that could sour Big Labor’s relationship with the White House. Trumka clearly favors the more liberal House bill, which includes a public plan and employer mandate. But for House and Senate leaders to strike a deal, lawmakers would almost certainly need to make concessions that agitate leaders like Trumka. Other major issues up for negotiation include penalties of an individual mandate, expansion of the Medicaid entitlement and taxpayer funding for abortion. [...]</description>

		<description>Once again all of the Jackals are fighting over the bones of America. This is why Socialism does not work! Everyone wants everyone else to be equal, but most want to be more eqaul than the rest. 
Politicians and Unions alike, must learn to leave our Republic along with its Stone Foundation, the Constitution, untouched, unchanged, not altered, and left alone.
