It is Saturday morning and in Dunkirk's tiny, one-chair barbershop, a group of middle-aged men have gathered to chew the political fat. It's the kind of crowd that usually can't agree on the time of day, but Republicans, Democrats and undecided voters are unanimous: the US economy is in a hole, and no-one seems to know how to climb out of it.

I remember another DUNKIRK...............
Democrats and undecided voters are unanimous: the US economy is in a hole.
Color Obama gone.

If they go Obama they will only be subidizing unemployment.
You might note that the residents of Dunkirk doing well are those on public pensions. Do you suppose that they eve wonder where the money to pay those pensions comes from?
