OBAMA: 'Repubs In Congress & These Candidates' want 'To Follow Other Countries In a Race To Bottom'

[kpete]

Mr. Obama, in an aggressive campaign speech, linked Republicans in Congress and those running in the presidential election, saying both would dismantle Medicare, rollback environmental regulations, lower the minimum wage and crack down on labor union organizing. “Republicans in Congress and these candidates, they think that the best way for America to compete for new jobs and businesses is to follow other countries in a race to the bottom,” Mr. Obama said.

educational policy.

2. No, not follow, it's more like to LEAD "other countries in a race to the bottom." The only

reason we're not at the bottom yet is because we are a big and wealthy nation, and it
takes a longer time to reach that bottom. Get these people out before that really happens.

5. Yep, it is truly campaign time.

Too bad he doesn't govern the same way.
The saying "Same song, second verse" comes to mind.

6. Yes indeed - say it like you mean it!

This was what the left have been saying for a long, long time now! Glad to hear you say it - but it needs repeating continuously until the end of the election period.

7. Yep, Tom DeLay did say

America should strive to follow the model of the Marianna Islands...
