While gas is 2.89 here, there are still no new Obama bumper stickers in a majority minority town.
ReplyDeleteThe few that are still around from '08 are disappearing fast. Even the local NAACP guys are out with sticker removers. Although they say "Obama is our guy," their hearts don't seem to be where their mouths are.

As I said long ago when I worked in Aerospace and all the rank-and-file speeches in the annual Departmental feel good meetings asked for "change", Dammit! We want GOOD change.

As a consequence Big Aerospace Company went from 92%/8% military/civilian contracts to 65%/35%. Unfortunately that involved a lot of shrinkage.
