Really, how many times in the past few weeks the media has been saying this is a great Christmas Black Friday, Online Monday, last few days has been way above last years numbers. I'm not surprised considering Obama and the caving Boner are not good for the Economy.

They have to talk to Obama before they put out real (cough, cough) numbers. Our stores were packed....more so than last year and the nice weather helped.

We are no longer manufacturers. Try and find made in America.

I can attest to that......

I've sold items on-line for many years....This year has been the worst.

Last year wasn't much better....

One of our two parties is going to get with it, and start demanding changes in the way we deal with imports, vs domestic production.

If one of our two current parties doesn’t, then a new party will rise to power with the agenda and smoke both of the current parties.

GOP. Get with it.

Not soon. NOW!

Might help if they would quit spitting on Christmas in their loathsome advertising. I take names on who uses “holiday” instead of Christmas. They insult me and then want my money.
