President Obama represents the sum of all their fears,
wrapped up in a black man.

This morning I had breakfast with one of my parishoners,
who spent most of the time complaining about her job.
She works for one of those upscale grocery stores that sells "Lifestyle.."
But it treats the employees like slaves.
She often works 15 days in a row with no day off;
works long hours. Requests for days off must be submitted
2 weeks in advance.. and are often denied.

There's more, but the point is: the employees are conditioned to
believe they have no choice and there are many people lined up
to take these jobs if they dont' like it.
I kept my mouth shut for most of the talking,
but I blurted out: "YOu guys need to form a good old fashioned union.."
and she shushed me: "That talk is grounds for being fired..."

Apparently, the store executive could have given each and every
employee a 50 cent an hour raise this year (budget surplus) but
instead bought himself a new jet.
But getting sassy with the manager will get you fired.

And... the bottom line: these employees? Vote MItt.
Love MItt. Mitt is the salvation of the world...
because MItt will make them rich.

Delusional.....go figure.
I went back to my office and beat my head against the wall.
