A Kodak spokesperson says the layoffs are part of an announcement the company made January of this year. Kodak announced plans to cut 12,000-15,000 jobs worldwide during the next three years.

2. Fear not....
....he'll be back. I've endured (with gritted teeth) his Bush cheerleading for a long while now as have you. Notice how he NEVER posts unless it is to second so-called positive economic reports from this administration?
