To the Editor:

Obama's shift from Health Care reform to Jobs betrays his intention of never having being a champion of a health care reform. He knows very well that Americans are hunting for bargains at Wal-Mart and One-Dollar stores, therefore Jobs will be going to China where those goods are manufactured.

To make matter worse our infrastructures are dismayingly rusted. Even if we want to train our youth to do manufacturing jobs there are no infrastructures where they can produce competitive products.

Labor: Alas the rank and file are remotely hardly aware of the responsibilities and duties of being a Union member. The leadership knows that very well, which makes them compromise with the powerful at the expense of the rank and file.

Climate change: When capitalism cried for help Congress robbed at gun point the american people and in one week they gave banks a trillion dollars. When in Copenhagen mother Earth asked for help, everyone yawned.

Transportation: The money that will be waisted on High Speed trains should go to fix and expend our rickety Public Transit in our major cities. Just today, for the hundredth times, a door of the L-line was jammed. We wasted so much time waiting for the door to close.

Democrats are the surrogate for the Republicans. They are happy and taciturn while the GOP is doing the dirty job for them.Nafiss

I was very disappointed at the minimal coverage / attention afforded Howard Zinn's passing. I wish that 40 years ago, when I attended college, I was aware of Professor Zinn. I would have done anything to attend Boston University, just to attend his classes. It wasn't until the 1980's before I became a Howard Zinn enthusiast. His writings, books and CD's have been a treat for me and my wife / friends. We will miss him. A truly great mane. Thanks for your comments.

What a waste of a good website to post such silly stuff that is only to gratify your own anti-Christian views. I look forward to reading this site in the morning for a thoughtful progressive discussion of current events. This is masturbatory nonsense.
