Well, apparently USPS didn't appreciate being disparaged as the lesser of the three - check out this letter from the National Association of Postal Supervisors:
With all of these efforts underway within the Postal Service community, it was a kick to the chest to have you take a shot at a group of federal employees who are working hard every day to support this country.Oh snap.
Employees of the Postal Service are largely represented by unions and management associations, all of whom strongly supported your candidacy last year. For our support we do not expect any special consideration. However, we would like to be treated fairly and not have our current situation misrepresented, especially by the Commander-in-Chief.
Meanwhile, at a town hall meeting in Grand Junction, Colo., on Saturday, Obama's toughest question came from college student Zach Lahn:
I like Lahn's comment about how if you can't ride a bike, don't get on the motorcycle. If Medicare and the government-run health care for veterans were shining examples of success, then I might not be so critical. But they're not successful. They need improvement, and they need it badly - so let's get those fine tuned before we try taking on health care for the entire country.

I concur...Oh snap!
ReplyDeleteAwesome point! I have been saying this one all along. If a government health care program can't take care of this country's heros(I am referring to our vetrans not our congressman and senators, they get a good system not to mention they ain't heros by any strech of the imagination) the way that it should then what kind of care am I going to get as plain old ordinary citizen? Scary thought eh?
ReplyDeleteBonus that he now has unions not happy with him, totally awesome!!
