Online headline: 'Obama Continues To Jab At Romney's Job Record" -- ? On what basis... that Romney has actually had real jobs BEFORE being elected to office?

potUS Arpege says everyone needs to pay their 'fair share' in taxes. Was his economic advisor Jeffrey Immelt's company, GE, not paying taxes last year "fair"? Is Solyndra bankrupting on half-a-billion in potUS Arpege loans, and not paying taxes "fair"? Is raising everyone's taxes for HELL-thSCARE during a depression "fair"? You decide; I know what I think is fair.

1 in 7 Americans are now receiving food stamps. Repeat, 1 in 7...14%! One contributing factor is that someone could have a million dollars in assets, but no earned income, and still qualify for food stamps. Simply a sign of a government program run amok.

All you Republicans running for/sitting in public office: I do support the tax freeze; I will vote against the T-SPOLST, but I am voting in the DIM's primary since so many of the races will be decided in July.

The L-E 'rankings/ratings' of school performances based on the percentage of students on free or reduced price lunches was/is flawed from the git-go. When my oldest two children attended Columbus High, both were encouraged to sign up for such without any check as to whether 'they needed' such, because every school wants to have as many as possible on such lists because schools get more money federal tax dollars based on how many students get such lunches. Another government program running amok... see 'food stamp' mention above.

Another indicator of the L-E flawed benchmark of free/reduced lunch criteria is Britt David Magnet School. 14% of Britt David students are receiving such meal fare, yet all of them, 100% of them, 'passed' their CRCT exams in all categories.

L-E story: "CENTERVILLE, Mass. — Seven weeks after she hanged herself, Mary Richardson Kennedy was reburied in a Cape Cod cemetery 700 feet from her original grave near other Kennedy family members." -- Is the Kennedy family embarrassed? How can such be; certainly no Kennedy could do anything more embarrassing than Ted Kennedy.

I usually don't comment about Phenix City 'doings' as there's really nothing there for me to influence or benefit from, but to see such a toot-your-own-horn full page ad about its City Manager just can't be overlooked. Beyond the obvious observation about the cost of such an ad, those citizens could have done more good by donating similar amounts to Phenix City community projects, but why does someone promote the fact that Phenix City not only 'created' 573 jobs and had 4 pay raises for city employees during such struggles with the economy endured by the other citizens of Phenix City?
