This is what I am hearing from many people back in the USA. But it is going to come back and bite them (The White House/Washington/politicians) in the ASS real hard in 2010, let alone in 2012.

It is what is called BACKLASH. And it is building steadily and strongly each day. Soon, outside of proclaiming martial law, it will be unstoppable. Those people are really going to be amazed and speechless who brought this "payback" about. The middle aged, middle class, White American male backlash (a huge segment of the population) in this country is going to be of historic propotions.

And this is not racist to say this. Just a demographic and a political observation, entirely objective in nature.

Swear to you...they've laid off around 800 from this company...more than 70% were white males...over the age of 40. the total of white males was 87% of the 800. Gives you an idea of what they were after.

BTW, I'm a statistician...The percentages are astounding across all job segments.

The statement during the presidential campaign about the government not giving a dime to anyone that wasn't of color is coming to fruition. You want to talk about divisive...Years of progress in ethnic relations wiped out by one administration that thrives on a divided population.
