Wow. With your eigth grade education and FOX news addiction you feel qualified to comment on economic matters?

In what way was the economy better? What improved? What did he leave for the future?

If you took a $10,000 cash advance off your credit card every month you would think things were going pretty well too... until the bills came due. That's where we are now.

Keep in mind while you're blaming Obama, that every one of his initiatives has been filibustered. It's not like you and your group of terrorists has allowed him to govern. You've actually destabilized America so as to make yourselves look better.

You're all scum.

Police Officers, Fed Up with Rick Scott, Leave Republican Party En Masse

Police Officers in a Florida county are planning a mass exodus from the republican party because of the antics of anti-union Governor Rick Scott of Florida.

http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/...

Next month the Broward County Police Benevolent Association is holding a "Party to Leave the Party" -- an event coordinated with the Supervisor of Elections where police officers and the general public can switch their voter registrations from Republican to Democratic or Independent.

Poilce officers have always been quite conservative as Broward PBA President Patrick Hanrihan points out:

The PBA may be a union, but it's not traditionally a bunch of liberals. "You'd be surprised," says Broward PBA President Patrick Hanrihan. "I think most of our police officers and stuff are Republicans." Well, until the party-switching party, that is.

Hanrahan has made it clear that republicans will no longer be able to count on the votes and support of police officers in Florida:

"We've been supporting Republican governors for the past 20 years," Hanrihan continued.

But this one's antics may be too much for the traditionally red-voting, gun-wielding, meat-eating, hippie-busting (OK, we'll stop) cops to stomach.

The reason for the police union anger is virtually the same as the reason for union anger across America towards recently elected republican governors such as Scott Walker of Wisconsin and John Kasich of Ohio.

"[Governor Scott's] union dues deduction bill is a flat-out union-busting bill," says Hanrihan. "Under the law, a government agency wouldn't be allowed to collect union dues if it was involved in political campaigns." He notes that Scott had "no problem" taking money from the police union in the past election. Scott did get significant pushback on the bill from some Republican representatives, but the House eventually passed it.

You don't have to be a police officer, or even a union member to attend the rally. Here are the details:

On Saturday, July 16, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. behind the PBA headquarters on SW 26th Terrace in Fort Lauderdale, the union will have elections officials standing by to register new voters or switch party registrations for anyone with a valid Florida
ID.

What is going on in Florida is a firm indication that there is something happening in America that is waking up the labor movement from Wisconsin to Florida to Maine to Ohio to Michigan and all across America, and it's no longer just a liberal based movement.
