Presidential Debate: Romney Poised To Question Why 22,000 Non UAW Employees Got The Shaft

When President Barack Obama uses the first of three debates Wednesday to tout his bailout of Detroit's auto industry, as he surely will, Republican challenger Mitt Romney should be ready with a single number:

22,000.

That's how many salaried retirees of the old Delphi Corp. saw their pension fund seized by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. at the behest, documents suggest, of an Obama Treasury Department that ensured no such thing happened to the Troy-based auto supplier's unionized workers and retirees.

The POTUS can't say this I will, United we stand divide you fall. If you think your skill level can get you good wages by themselves, I have a bridge to sale you. If you don't pay into unions dues, you should get the rewards, that everyone who has paid(dues) for the fight. a lot people do not pay in because they usally get the rewards anyway. If you can't have a union we need to change that.

Yeah, exactly what is the moral of the story here? You don't organize and you are fucked? You know we have courts in this country.

All I know is this: tommorrow night there are going to be a lot of thoroughly pissed off Denverites, because whatever complete and total #@!$% moron decided the location they picked that ghetto assed school DU- which is right next to I-25, the busiest highway between St. Louis and LA, and as a result they are completely closing it for 5 hours.

Total @#!$% #%#$% morons.
