The President's Labor Day Speech

North Haven Posts Schools Chief Job

The New Haven Register is reporting that the job posting for Superintendent has been made public and that the deadline for submission of resume and materials is October 8th. Whoever will follow Ms. Querfeld has some really big, compassionate, qualified shoes to fill.

Celebrating American Labor

I do not understand why or how the White House is not doing a better job of getting this message across.

Labor Being CHEATED This Labor Day

Can someone please tell me how current fiscal policy is working for the vast majority of working Americans, or how extending massive unpaid-for tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% stands to do any good for the rest of us?

Have we not earned a share of the prosperity?

This Labor Day . . .

This Labor Day . . .

President Obama Shows Authentic Class

President Obama showed real class tonight, not taking the easy road of throwing the previous administration that falsely and blindly entrenched us in a costly war in Iraq under the proverbial bus.

I wonder, perhaps, if he was too gentle, but that's just me.

I thought the most impressive moment came at the end of the speech when, recounting soldiers who gave their lives in noble service, President Obama became (if just a bit) choked up. Sadly, people need to see him emote and act less stoic.

It will be interesting to see his opponents find reasons to find fault with the President's duty and mission to close out these wars and solve our economic woes.

Gay Marriage is Now a Conservative Cause

Thus says Steve Schmidt, former campaign manager for Senator John McCain's 2008 Presidential campaign.

It would be wonderful and remarkable if Republicans showed the courage to back this basic issue of personal and legal freedom . . . a courage that Democrats have largely lacked, including this White House.
