Sorry, I don't care who or what wants to run, oversee, whatever word you choose, our nations ports....I'M AGAINST IT. And yes, I already knew the Chinese are now running the San Diego port, what used to be our Navy port, I think. No matter, I was dead set against that one also.

Now,to the oft repeated phrase"who will run the ports, there's no AMERICAN co. that can.....well, may I suggest that we'd darn well better be asking why and then fixing whatever the roadblock is that's keeping us,as a nation , unable to run our own ports. This situation is pathetic.

I'll say this, I don't look for any change whatsoever, 'cause there are way too many in the power positions that are way too eager to hand over more and more of our national sovereignty to what ever foreign or international group that comes along.....and you can pretty much figure out, there's been some real deals made along the way...otherwise how does it happen, these things never see the light of day till the deal is a done one. Amazing, Washington can't seem to keep secret what should be kept secret, as in our intelligence agencies etc. but they sure know how to keep quiet anything they think might rile the American public. Do you remember NAFTA,no one saw that coming down the pike till the day before it was voted on.

Don't get me wrong, I've supported this Pres. in his efforts in Iraq, but he's just left me cold with his blind arrogance concerning the borders and the illegals who continue to have free rein crossing the border, getting every kind of hand out Washington can think of to help them out.And this port thing was a no brainer,they sure SHOULD have anticipated just the reaction that's coming from the public.
I have no respect what so ever for the blow hards on both sides of the isle who are using this to whip up sentiment against the Pres. and who only have eyes on how many votes and how many election fund dollars they can entice into their coffers. I just want everyone to PUT AMERICA AND HER WELLBEING FIRST.!!!!

FYI, Andrew Wilkow's on at 10 on WABC radio, thought you might be interested to hear his take on the ports... people waited all week to hear it.

Same people who have always run them. The State Port Authority where the port is located. You are confusing ports with terminals that the port authority leases. A state cannot sell its port nor would it give up it authority over its port. A States Port Authority would however lease one a parking place to dock ones boat. Its called a port terminal and seaports like airports have many different terminals they lease to carriers.
