    ...to be team players, and then targeting smokers?

    Nah, sorry Rick.  Besides all the other CEO rah-rah crap I heard tonight, Rick Milliken can go f#@% himself.

    I'm auguring into my partisan bunker like never seen before.  This assclown that Yobs and the MI-GOP hustled off is a Republican but he sure as hell isn't a Conservative nor one that is for personal liberty.

    The House and Senate boys had better straighten the Nerd out fast.

    I do work for Liquid Web.

    I also happen to be in the "innovative" training program right now. One of the guys on the training team was like "Hell yeah, I"m gonna put that on my resume!"

    Indeed, it was more of a joke.

    About tax reform via the Fair Tax, deregulation, privatization of state departments, Right to Work. Yep,as I said before. Here we go with Granholm 2.0. I guess it is time to consider alternatives. Sorry to say this RINO went to the same elementary school that I did. He was a few years behind me. Thank God I paid attention. It is obvious he didn't. Battle Creek can hang their head in shame for this mess. But I suppose the Union thugs will celebrate. Seems they have found a friend in the Nerd. One more disaster that we can thank the Michigan GOP for. NO MORE OPEN PRIMARIES.

    Damn, I hate it when I'm right. (none / 0) (#8)

    Last night's speech...no real surprise there.

    Where was the talk about addressing the upcoming $1.85 billion deficit? Or even, gasp, that structural deficit that will haunt future budgets?

    Where was the talk about getting the gov't salaries and benefits in line with the private sector?

    Where was the talk about the regional oversight  of DWSD?

    And specifics.

    15x15: How can you possibly convince ANY educated person to move into Detroit? A city that cannot provide even the most basic of government services to the citizens it represents (downsizing is on its future agenda), to say nothing about the joke of a public school system.

    DRIC:     Yes, you've convinced DOT that Canadian money can be used in place of Michigan Taxpayer Money. But how solid is that promise? Also, the 402 argument really hurt your position rather than help it. Trucks didn't have any problems getting over the bridge. They had problems going down the highways that lead up to and away from the Blue Water Bridge on the Canadian side.

    Health care: Care to go into more detail that claim near the beginning of the speech about providing greater access to primary care? Obamacare-lite?

    And I'm not going to re-hash the other areas already mentioned.

    I didn't expect much so I really wasn't disappointed.

    Yah, let's talk about that DRIC (none / 0) (#13)
    by Corinthian Scales on Thu Jan 20, 2011 at 11:38:26 AM EST
    Is it any surprise that the Canuks are throwing in a half billion dollars at their NAFTA export artery?  Why the hell wouldn't they when since 1985 the U.S. has run a trade deficit with Canada.

    And in typical CEO fashion, Snyder like the Big Three, went to Washington with his hat in his hand looking for a Federal handout.  Because, heck, that's not Michigan taxpayer money... it's Obama's stash!

    I am done with turning the other cheek and taking the high ground.

    Liberals have not shown us anything even near what could be considered respectful.  In fact getting spit on day after day gets old.

    I'm all done!
