Detroit Councilwoman to Obama: Bail Us Out

Detroit City Councilwoman Joann Watson said the city of Detroit’s overwhelming support for President Obama implied a “quid pro quo” that now requires Washington to deliver some “bacon” in the form of a bailout. Watson pointed to the example of former Detroit mayor Coleman Young, who, she said “went to Washington, D.C.” after the election of Jimmy Carter and “came back home with some bacon.

Open thuggery and corruption. These people have raped and destroyed one of America's major cities and they are not asking, they are DEMANDING more. She say's, "our people," which is a code word for blacks talking about other blacks. They feel entitled to Whitey's loot. They put the bastard back in office and now it's time to give out. I think this fat heifer has had way more than her share of someone else's , "bacon," as she puts it.

My wife is from Detroit. Born there and lived there until her 30s. She cant believe what is happening, and her parents are moving North to their property HOURS away...

I have visited often as my uncle lived in Southgate, a suburb of Detroit. As oblivious northern whites we were always taken aback by his disdain for the blacks in Detroit. As I have aged I have learned where some of it comes from. I have been on the receiving end of some of their hostility or hospitality, take your pick.

Bail out? Looks to me like we should have a bomb out...

Remove the people and drop a cluster bomb!

Think that is harsh, then check out street view of Detroit today...

Good thing it is being run by compassionate liberals, otherwise it would be a lot worse.

Good one Franco!!

If you want to see the effects of liberalism, look no further than Detroit.

Maine is not far behind.

Democrats have been in power here for over 40 years and it shows. Not one bond issue has ever failed, yet the state cannot figure out why there are such short falls. It is pretty easy for me, I read the fine print on the cost of the bonds we as Mainer's so flippantly pass and it is no wonder. I guess people have never heard of compound interest and what it costs a borrower in the end; if they did they would not pass these silly bond packages that create 800...yes a whole whopping 800 jobs for the multi-millions of dollars it costs us of in bonds.

As one guy told me at the beginning of the recession; it is no big deal, Maine is always in a recession. I guess that is true, but the key is, I know why?

Great post! I have voted for both Collins, Snow and my local representative who is Republican...but! I don't vote for any of the bond issues as I believe the way you do....WE CAN"T AFFORD THEM!

The problem with Maine is, even our Congressman who are Republican act more like Democrats. Cohen is a great example; but considering the attitude and temperature of this state politically, it really is survival. So while I think many of them are very mild conservatives (Collins for instance), I know they have to be moderate in order to get re-elected, but it beats the alternative candidates I guess.

Very true! Survival! I surely will not vote for our Governor again though!

I surely will not vote for our Governor again though!

Why?? Because he tells the truth? Funny how stark it is when a non politician gets elected. I would vote for him again if I was in Maine just piss off the liberal that move in with their utopian dreams.

In a broader view...he has done no better than his predecessors...other than tell the truth in a "crass" manor...which does not bother me, so long as he does more than talk....to date he has talked a lot without any measurable or foreseeable results.

DO you really think he had a magic wand to make umpty ump years of Democratic spending go away???:? What Maine do you live in? I am amazed that people think just electing a conservative solves all the debt run up before him. Just the DHS alone was more then he could rein in quickly. And you don't supposed they were entrenched and stonewalling? Lets just look at education, the state required and funded new schools all over the state in rural areas. Then they defunded the towns through cut backs and increasing valuations to reduce reimbursement. This was because the towns were conservative and would keep the kids in the 2 room school I went to and never modernize because they had no industry to tax, just ever increasingly aging homeowners. SO they lied to them to get them to build and expand with new gyms and tennis courts and hot lunches etc. Then they pulled the rug out. People all over your area on fixed incomes are getting killed by taxes they don't understand. All because the idiot locals didn't know what was best for them so they had to be tricked into the modern age. As a superintendent said to me in a dispute about parental rights,"People don't make good decisions so we have to make them for them." That kind of thinking is so arrogant and typical of the liberal superior magnanimous self righteous asshat that it makes my blood boil.
Some years later that same woman lost both of her children because of a bad decision. Who was to blame? They were taught there should not be consequences for decisions and it bit them. I bet she blames society somehow not herself.
