What a waste of taxpayer dollars. Who’s the bigger fool, Biden or Obama? Even Poland blew off Obama when he tried to meet with them in the past week. Poland said they had better things to do than a “photo op” with Obama! And Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress was pretty powerful and exposed Obama’s arrogance and ignorance.

Biden and Obama sure are busts, they had all those liberal clowns thinking he get jobs, where are they? Only a total idiot would make a case blaming Kasich for jobs when there now is a 2 an 1/2 year record of failures, lies, deceptions, and intentional misrepresentation of facts.

Biden will be wasting his time because he and Obama will be on the way out next year. Obama has shamed us with his stupid Toast to the Queen. First, he was the guest and it was not appropriate for him to take off rambling with his Toast. I doubt that England cares for him after he snubbed Winston Churchill. After the orchestra started playing you would have thought Obama would shut up. He kept on bla bla bla. He has no class. I don’t want his infringements upon my rights here at home and look forward to seeing him as a one term President.

The jobs Ohio needs will slowing come here when NAFTA is adjusted! We need to reward companies that keep their production here in America and penalize the companies that choose to move their production to other countries. So I don’t blame Kasich, yet. These companies that move out of the country and want to send their products back here to sell are not patriotic!

Biden will be wasting his time because he and Obama are there for one term. I don’t want a President that is an embarrassment to our country before the world. I don’t want a President that wants to support the fairness doctrine and control our freedom of speech. I will see you wave goodbye, Obama and Biden come 2012!

Biden is an idiot who thinks evil, good, discrimination and etc are all based on strictly gender lines. He wrote and sponsored some of the worst and most destructive laws we have had and they are all based on discriminating against men. Instead of trying to spend more money to get votes from women and pleasing gender feminist extremists, he should be doing something about JOBS for EVERYONE. Saying we need to help men only because unemployed men would beat their wives and pushing hard for programs to get women back to work is stupid since men are not beating their wives in droves and they were 85% of those who lost their jobs.

I wish to God I could convince him to have a stimulus to support human powered transprotaion. It’s green it will let people be more free and will let people be freer than they are by paying $4.00 a gallon for gas.

I lost any and all respect for this man after the 1991 Senate hearing concerning the appointment of Clarence Thomas to the supreme court by George HW Bush. It was party politics at its best. Biden and Ted Kennedy, (fresh from being a witness in a rape case on his property),did their level best to destroy a decent hard working judge. It was a modern day lynching of a decent man because his appointee was a republican. Sen Hatch had the decency to maintain some civility during the hearing. It was a disgusting display by Biden to say the least.

When VP Cheney came to Dayton in ‘04’ the DDN headline screamed in bold print “Cheney Visit Snarls Traffic”. As a conservative, I could still appreciate the cleverness; as a customer, it reminded me of the power of propaganda.

Tying an economic recovery to raising taxes demonstrates a lack of understanding of economics. Kasich ran on a platform of not raising taxes in spite of the looming budget deficits. There can only be budget cuts without revenue growth. Why is this such a big surprise?

From the Washington Times for your reading enjoyment. The professors reviewed more than 16,000 common stock transactions carried out by about 300 House members as revealed in the members’ financial-disclosure forms from 1985 to 2001. In a 2004 study, the same professors found that U.S. senators also enjoy a “substantial information advantage” over the average investor — and even corporate bigwigs — when it comes to picking stocks. The latest study shows that members of the Senate outperform their House colleagues by an average of 30 points per month. Despite the GOP’s reputation as the party of the rich, House Republicans fared worse than their Democratic colleagues when it comes to investing, according to the study. The Democratic subsample of lawmakers beat the market by 73 basis points per month, or 9 percent annually, versus 18 basis points per month, or 2 percent annually, for the Republican sample. “Given the almost folkloric belief that Wall Street invariably favors Republicans, the superior performance of trades made by Democratic representatives may seem surprising,” the study authors said. One theory is that Democrats were the majority for most of the years under review and thus held more leadership posts, giving them greater access to nonpublic information. Once they took power in 1995, Republicans may have limited their ability to profit from the perks of political power because of their lack of leadership experience. Strict laws ban corporate executives from trading on their insider knowledge, but no restrictions exist for members of Congress. Lawmakers are permitted to keep their holdings and trade shares on the market, as well as vote on legislation that could affect their portfolio values. The rationale is that requiring lawmakers to divest their economic holdings would “insulate a legislator from the personal and economic interests that his/her constituency, or society in general, has in governmental decisions and policy,” according to the House ethics manual.

Jobs aren’t happening in Ohio because of the attitude of Kasich and his cohorts. As long as there is this mantra of “no taxes on the rich” there will never, ever be a recovery. Yet, people like Boehner and Kasich and that Shannon Jones from Springboro will continue to try to blame Obama and Strickland when that is not the problem at all. When will the non-thinking people of this country stop being led around by the nose by these lying anti-middle class greedy jerks?

It would be cool to see the VP, but $100 tickets are too rich for me. What would actually create more jobs and better wages would be incentives via taxes. Give a tax credit to companies equal to the wages they pay their U.S. employees, up to $80,000 per employee salary. This will decrease outsourcing, raise wages, and increase hiring. Look up the blog, Borazon Drill, for more information.

Personally I don’t think it makes a difference if Biden comes to Ohio or not, especially Columbus, where he needs to be is in these small towns like Moraine, West Carrollton, Kettering, Franklin, areas that are still hurting from not having jobs in the area that we used to and caused a ripple affect. He needs to come here and talk to the little people about what we need to bring the area back on top.Get rid of these job search engines that leave you with no response from employers, find out what Job and Family Services is really doing to help the community, how many are still having to get assistance and why, find out why if you have 2000.00 a month coming in and 1900.00 in bills why your not eligible for some kind of assistance to get back on top or even get health care coverage or be able to participate in job training programs that may up your skills levels in order to look more emploable to employers. If they would raise the wages of the “low” class jobs, higher more adults instead of teens, or give adults more hours so they can provide for their teens it would be helpful. Higher wages for those people with decent hours would not only make it easier for these adults to pay for their bills and provide for their kids but it would help boost things as far as shopping more to get their kids the things their wanting, buy the steak and potatoe meals instead of the quick fix meals, take their kids out to dinner, allow gentlemen to be able to pay for a dinner date/movies, buy a new outfit, go get a haircut at the beauty shop instead of at home, ect..its simple, common sense, in the meantime instead of us oweing foreign countries why aren’t some of their jobs coming here? Where are the jobs period.
