McCain and DHL
Well, gee, what a shocker someone working for McCain was/is a former lobbyist for DHL. John McCain, helping the little guy…
The Obama campaign signaled today that they’ll be making a major issue of job losses in the big swing state of Ohio — and aggressively tying John McCain and his campaign manager Rick Davis directly to the problems hurting voters there.
The issue at hand involves Davis’ work back in 2003, when he successfully lobbied Congress — winning McCain’s support — to approve a buyout of Airborne Express by DHL. Five years later, DHL is planning to shut down the old Airborne Express hub in Wilmington, which would lead to the loss of 8,000 jobs.
Maversome!
Wow….you like to play evil political dominos and your threshold is five years?
Hmmmm….. Bill Clinton f.cked Monica’s tonsils in 1997. Osama Bin Laden knocked down the twin towers in 2001 because Americans are heathens.
GUILTY.
It is always a sign of a weak mind of a Troll when they post off the subject
TT,
They’ve got nothing beyond Bill Clinton. Have some charity.
As for McCain, he can write off Ohio.
McCain is really disgusting. It’s scary to me that a significant percentage of Americans will vote for him. It seems like the only principle he’s wedded to is the betterment of John McCain.
Okay…here’s on topic for you….
Airborne was a floundering has been when DHL bought them. Wilmington, OH was a bad hub for the majority of parcel business today. I remember sending stuff to Virginia and North Carolina and seeing it track through Wilmington first!
DHL’s acquisition gave that company some hope but retarded union flunkies wouldn’t let them change anything, so they had to run it the same shitty way.
After getting rogered by UPS and FedEx for a few more years, DHL is finally doing the right thing and cutting off the dead limbs!
Suck on that, bitterboys!
Merkin
So far so good. Keep your cool and we’ll all be okay.
So let me get this straight….Delaware’s Most Erectically Dysfunctional Blogger can post a lame barely-related post impugning McCain, but I’m not allowed to fling it equally askew, then when I do post a direct answer to completely undermines the original feint, the best ya got is “so far so good”
How do you jokers ever get anyone elected?
Oh, snap!
The Obama Team enlists McCain as a campaign surrogate. An ad we can believe in, my friends.
(h/t The Jed Report)
you know the rules by now.
“you know the rules by now.”
Ha! If you had any rules or standards you would have “disappeared” donviti by now.
Even the Teamsters tired of Jimmy Hoffa.
donviti is gone, we now have DBB in his place
What are you, that Crockefeller guy, or the puppy clone sex freak?
Stick to one identity we all know you as: BLOWHARD.
Let me see if i got this straight John McSame one of the star members of the Ketting Five big S&L scandal. Now in bed with lobbyist who he helped and now has cost people in Ohio jobs.
“has cost people in Ohio jobs.”
I believe the phrase you’re looking for is “helped keep them employed for five years longer than they would otherwise have known.”
Airborne Express was a package-destroying turd that didn’t end up fertilizing anything but the downfall of DHL.
DHL should have waited them out and bought them piecemeal after a complete collapse of AE.
That will teach those stupid Germans!
Yes i believe that the German’s did the same with Chrysler. Just keep laying off American’s so the folks like MC Same can claim he is for the working class while in the pockets of the out sourcers
How is it “outsourcing” if a foreign company comes in and discovers the American union workers are incorrigible, loses their shirt in the deal, and ends up giving up on them?
You’re not nearly as bright as your mother brags…..
“It is always a sign of a weak mind of a Troll when they post off the subject”
TT – Merkin wasn’t “off-subject” he was merely making a valid comparison.
“McCain is really disgusting. It’s scary to me that a significant percentage of Americans will vote for him.”
By and large they’re voting AGAINST Obama and not FOR McCain.
I can’t believe that anyone would have such a low IQ that they blame unions for company’s poor business decisions.
When the decision makers are held hostage by the unions, poor decisions are inevitable.
