Stan? Mr. Deatherage? Are you there?

And it's strange, Stan..I'm certainly hardworking. I've supported myself without government assistance for over 20 years. All who know me would definitely describe me as a survivor. I don't take from others or whine and I'm certainly not guilt-ridden. When I lose I do so without complaint and simply begin planning for my next victory. And I don't criticize or label people I don't know. I'm sorry to hear that I'm not a member of "your America," Stan. Actually, I take that back. You can keep it.

Stan, this is from factcheck.org. Many other sources will verify.
"A Ford TV ad slams competitors for accepting bailout funds, even though the company’s CEO lobbied for the bill. The company — the only one of the Big Three not to receive a bailout — feared a collapse of GM and Chrysler at the time would have hurt suppliers and, in turn, Ford itself. Ford Chief Executive Officer Alan R. Mulally also asked Congress for a “credit line” of up to $9 billion in case the economy worsened. In other words, Ford was for government bailouts before it was against them. Although Ford did not need money from the $80 billion bailout program, Ford did receive $5.9 billion in government loans in 2009 to retool its manufacturing plants to produce more fuel-efficient cars, and the company lobbied for and benefited from the cash-for-clunkers program — contrary to the ad’s testimonial that Ford is “standing on their own.” |
To Michael Varin on his last comment under "Nullify Now!!"
No, Children are grown. Just spending a tremendous amount of time "building the better mousetrap." Oh wait a minute, Candidate Obama just reminded me, "I didn't build that ... somebody else made that happen." But hold on, I know, but ... well ... it could not have been ACORN, they were busy using federal dollars to elect the Barack, it wasn't Solyndra, and all the other the other well-healed members of that enlarged Democrat slush fund, know as the America Recovery Act, and it could not have been the president. When did Candidate Obama have time to help? For the last year, he has been on his "Two Americas Tour," and when he was not consumed with that, he was in Pakistan leading Seal Team 6 on their courageous mission to slay Osama Bin Laden. Who could have built Symbiotic Publisher, and then the NOWs? Oh ... silly me. It was me after all. Do you want to know what my "Two Americas Tour" is? It is about the hardworking, smart, wise Americans, survivors against all else. And then there are those that support Candidate Obama: the takers, the whiners, the guilt ridden cry babies, and ultimately, the losers. That's my two Americas. |
Actually, Ford did not ask for a bailout, and did not receive one.

Indeed, Steve Jobs didn't "build that." Steve Wozniak did. And Xerox was the first to develop the graphical user interface which made these computers so popular. Yes, Ford built that. I'm thinking, however, that his company recently received a federal bailout.
