    I realize RICHARD is the official "California spokesperson" but I'll answer anyway. I would really, really like to support Meg Whitman. I think her business experience would be very useful in a state that is way too "anti-employer" for my taste.

    When we came here I had to take a crash course in California labor law. For example, this is one of only three states that mandates daily overtime. If a non-exempt employee does not take a meal break the company must pay a one hour penalty. Until a recent case, employers were being fined if employees did not take their rest breaks on time. Imagine talking to a sales person or the person wiating on your table who says..."I must go on my break now" and you have to start over with another employee.

    But the not voting - not being registered to vote really bothers me. I have a real problem with people who do not vote. Often as not they are the biggest complainers who know exactly how things should be fixed. But they can't be bothered to participate.

    Not declared Democratic or Republican - not a big deal. I have never declared for either party. But not even registered to vote until age 46?

    That bothers me.

    A $1.2 million dollar goose egg for the POTUS in Copenhagen. Now maybe he can meet with McCrystal and start doing his job.

    I love Meg Ryan and would vote for her any day of the week.

    ------------------

    Remember that the FLOTUS went separately to Copenhagen..

    She ran up a tab too.


    Grace,
    LOL, now do you see why I need a globe????

    I'd sugget a history book to go with that globe!

    I have to go and check who won the pool for which Hater and what time. They are predictable at least!

    Obama should not go to whatever that city is where it cold. What a waste. Olympics are terrible. He should stay and talk to the general who was involved in the cover up and abuse of Pat Tillman. Olympics are terrible. Cost too much money.

    He goes (as does the head of every country in the running)...Chicago is not selected and the Haters?

    Olympics are wonderful. Make people feel good about their city. Obama is a loser. He didn't get the Olympics.

    You guys sure do provide lots of laughs! Thanks! Now I need to go and see who won.

    Obama chose McChrystal to be in charge of the war in Afghanistan, he could do more to back the man.

    I guess Chicago and his friends getting the Olympics where more important then our troops lives.

    The $1.2 million that it took to get Obama and friends to Copenhagen and back could have been spent better by backing the General he chose.

    The new definition of hate, expecting the POTUS to Do His Job.

    By doing his job I dont mean appoint a man who praised the pioneer of NAMBLA as the School Safety Czar. A man who advised a minor student not to disclose he was having sex with an older man.
