HEAD: Postal supervisors: Obama swipe "a kick to the chest"
The National Association of Postal Supervisors has fired back at President
Barack Obama for dragging the U.S. Postal Service further into the health
care debate. In an Aug. 14 letter, NAPS President Ted Keating accused Obama
of using the Postal Service as a "scapegoat" and unfairly painting it as "an
example of inefficiency" during a health care town hall meeting last week.
Obama told a crowd in Portsmouth, N.H., Aug. 11 that private health care
insurance providers should be able to compete with a government-run public
option because "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. . It's the Post Office
that's always having problems."
Keating pointed out that UPS and FedEx revenues are falling faster than
Postal Service revenues, and reiterated the overtime, management and work
hour reductions the Postal Service has made over the last year: "With all of
these efforts underway within the Postal Service community, it was a kick to
the chest to have you take a shot at a group of federal employees who are
working hard every day to support this country.
Employees of the Postal Service are largely represented by unions and
management associations, all of whom strongly supported your candidacy last
year. For our support we do not expect any special consideration. However,
we would like to be treated fairly and not have our current situation
misrepresented, especially by the Commander-in-Chief."
What Obama also ignored last week was that the Postal Service isn't on the
same playing field as FedEx or UPS. The Postal Service has to contend with
unions, lawmakers and the Postal Regulatory Commission and as a result, can't
raise prices or close facilities on a whim the way its private-sector
counterparts can when mail volume plunges.

The Lyin' Little Prick, that boy in a man's job, just keeps steppin' in it,
don't he...heh, heh, heh. Damn, it's got to piss off you loony libs,
knowing he's so incompetent. Pretty soon he's gonna have to do a Cigar
Sniffing Slick Willy, and come out to say he's still relevant.
Who would have believed that this politician celebrated, above all, for his
eloquence and capacity to connect with voters would end up as president
proving so profoundly tone deaf?"--Dorothy Rabinowitz speaking of the Lyin'
Little Prick
What's another name for fearmongering, incompetent nincompoop? Why, "The
Lyin' Little Prick," of course. He'll soon by listed as such in dictionaries
and thesauri everywhere.
Why would anyone support The Lyin' Little Prick?
I predict "My God, what did we do" voter regret , the Republicans re-taking
Congress in two years, and The Lyin' Little Prick's bony ass being kicked
out in four...if he survives.
It's gonna be fun watching the implosion.
