The Republican party is finished.

It should be replaced by a new party that actually represents conservative ideas. Call it the Prudence party.

The Democrats may continue to operate, but the name should be changed to something that more accurately describes them. Call them the Reckless Pandering party. Or something like that.

Obama is the one returning us to slavery. He is the fourth president in a row who favors free trade.

Our enemy is not Democrat or Republican. It is free trade, which is a bald-faced crusade by the ultra wealthy to reduce us all to slavery.

Anyone who forces you to compete with slave labor is intentionally forcing you to become a slave.

Obama is the worst president in100 years. He ran on the promist to change all this. Instead he has only fallen in line and become just the next lapdog of the ultra wealthy.

Our first black president will turn us all into slaves.

I was wondering when all those "Return to Slavery" issues were going to surface, and lo and behold, here they are! -- Nice of Obama's crew to be looking back over those documents, isn't it? -- Thank goodness somebody's looking at something, finally! -- Ya think maybe 'corporate paranoia' might be the next misery to bite the dust?? -- I certainly hope so. -- People are paranoid enough, without their own workplaces making them crazy! -- That's been just TOO much.

Why stop at the tip of the iceberg?

A better heading would have been "Entire 8 years under Bush in Doubt!"...

lets see the then labor secretary, was an ex CEO of a company and wife of the current senate minority leader Mitch Mconnell republican. you had one democrate and one republican making the decisions. REALLY, No decisions should of been made without the full panel of 5 people to work these cases. but here again. if the nominee's would of been an equal number of labor and corperate people bush might of been able to get more done. here again if i can't have it all my way, the repug way, then we just can't do it. what we need are more fat cat corperate people and more poor labor people. CEO wages are now 300% more than the average worker gets. yet the economy is in the pie hole and the rich don't seem to be doing there part in hiring people and creating jobs. as a matter of fact there doing just the opposite.

So the Republicans get blamed for being obstructionists but it is really the Dems.

There were very few judgements by the Dept. of Labor during the Bush years that ruled in the favor of workers. It was a sham, another example of modern republicans creating their own rules (or breaking those they disagree with) to ensure that the wealthy got richer at the expense of the rest of us. The Bush Labor Department was an embarrassment, I hope that they make some of the statistics of it's operation available to the US public.

It has been learned that some 300 decisions by the NLRD made during 2008 maybe overturned because the former-Great Emperor Bush II could not get the evil, cowardly Whimpo-crats to approve the 3 additional members needed to make decisions.

The names of the 2 "Bushie" officials who made the suspect decisions were "Beavis and Butthead" while the 3 appointments that the Great Emperor Bush II wanted to join them at the NLRB were named "Moe, Larry, and Curly".

HAIL OBAMA!!!!

I'd really like to see what rules they passed.

I bet they were 99.9% in favor of the employer.
