So, he’s a disgruntled Obama supporter. It took him 4 years to figure out that Obama wants nothing to do with real work.
Before Obama I had plenty of work and had been self-employed for over 10 years earning a good living. After almost 4 years of O it’s been months since I did any real work and I’ve been marketing and calling people like crazy, even written articles to be published in magazines, giving discounts, etc...it’s not like I’m sitting on my can. All of my clients have said they need my services but are being cautious and not spending anymore than they have to until due to the current economy. They are basically waiting to see if Romney will be elected. And The One says our economy is fine. Complete BS. Maybe if I sold Obama swag at the DNC I could make enough to pay my next house payment...sigh
I suppose that many people are like Mr. Cathy of Chick-fil-A, and - tho they may as in Mr. Cathy’s case have strong conservative values - actively seek to avoid bringing politics into their business. Well, sending open letters to presidential candidates naturally risks associating your business with a political perspective. Mike Rowe does so here, and he did so in ’08. But here, at least, he is able to say that what he is saying to one candidate he is willing to say to the other. In his mind it’s not about politics, IOW, it’s about doing what he sees as what the country needs.You and I know, of course, that there is a great extent to which trying to keep partisanship out of an endeavor is a fool’s errand. Because we understand that ”objective” journalists are inherently political. In fact, they politicize everything. Indeed, the defining characteristic of the “liberals” is that they function primarily as critics of those who actually do things - precisely what “objective” journalists do. That’s why “objective” journalists and “liberals” get on so well.
