To give you a sense of Kroger’s size and importance, its sales last year were $90 billion and it employs nearly 350,000 people. Most of its jobs are hourly and the vast majority of workers are neither millionaires or billionaires. Faith is a mid-level manager at Kroger and reports the dire news: Last week we found out that, beginning in January, any employee who is not full-time at that point,will be limited...

Will their votes be influenced by cool, trendy ads and liberal celebrity tweets? Will they be bought by popular singers at free concerts? Will MTV and the Get Out The Vote campaigns be enough to convince them once again to come out enmasse and vote for a man because Snoop-Dog said to? While it’s clear that the youth vote absolutely helped Obama win the presidency, with over 24 million people between the ages of 18-29 voting in the 2008 election, some new polls are saying it won’t be happening again- at... www.LibertyJuice.com https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2601876/posts#comment Tue, 5 Oct 2010 15:10:15 GMT https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2590370/posts Democrats were able to take their share of the news cycle not merely by nominating scandal-plagued Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., to run for reelection, but by picking perhaps the absolute most appropriate image they could in this political climate: a target. Have a look.Looks like the Democrats just gave themselves a “D.” Which some may feel is generous. Is the circle around it supposed to be more Obama iconography? Washington Examiner online https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2590370/posts#comment Thu, 16 Sep 2010 17:01:19 GMT https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2458580/posts Has he ever stopped campaigning? Obama's been taking quite a pounding lately. Much of it coming from his friends.

So, this article in the Politico describing discussions to lay the groundwork for Obama's re-election campaign in 2012 might have been a plant to squash the notion among some Democrats that Obama might not run again. Apparently Obama plans...

While praising his own team for pioneering "ambitious" financial reform and "sweeping" economic recovery initiatives, the president took some pointed shots at Republicans who are now blasting the latest package as a spend-crazy "stimulus two" that will drill deeper into the deficit. "We were forced to take those steps (to jump-start the economy) largely without the help of an opposition party which, unfortunately, after having presided...
