who hit me in a parking lot. When we called the police the officer said it was his fault. Instead of taking ownership he let his Insurance company fight it and we had to take 505 of the fault. he was a good "christian". I hope he is laid off.

these corporations that have caused this recession through outsourcing and off shoring and ignore the unemployment rating as an indicator of the health of our nation. We need to vote for President Obama to let them know that we are onto their game of destroying the USA.
