Obama "promised" this during the campaign. One of MANY promises he has failed on.

In 2010, we need to vote all new people into office. The Democrats are going to destroy D.C. What happened to Obama's transparency? Thanks Dems for putting this bill smack dab in the middle of a military bill.

The Democrats who have controlled Raleigh forever have driven out the desire to come to N.C. Why would Dell want to stay???? We will NEVER get jobs as long as Bev Perdue is governor and the Democrats controll Raleigh. North Carolina is not business friendly Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:26:44 +0000 http://www.salisburypost.com/Opinion/102009-edit-nc#IDComment39790854 http://www.salisburypost.com/Area/101309-School-board-approves-plan#IDComment38610649 you are right. put these maps/plans on the rowan salisbury school webpage.

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:05:55 +0000 http://www.salisburypost.com/Area/101309-School-board-approves-plan#IDComment38609881 http://www.salisburypost.com/Area/101309-School-board-approves-plan#IDComment38588411 it is obvious what is going on here. it is kinda surprising that some type of legal action by North parents has not taken place. it really does violate some of the pre-desegregation legal cases.equality among schools within a system. you are right. the current school board only worries about reelection. new bold blood is needed on the board. remember this next election time. also, where has the stimulus money gone that was given to schools? where did Rowan School spend its money. last note, one more meaningless study costing $40000 down the drain. This money = one teacher job.

Why would any business want to be here? Keep electing democrats to Raleigh and see what happens. Perdue is a joke. Post...how about doing an article on where stimulus money has been spent here in Rowan County. Did we get any...county, schools, etc....where'd it go?

Rowan County doesn't really have a large selection of private schools. The Democratic government is going to make our schools worse.

Yea..like everyone else is saying...you are being called names and made to do such bad things and you work there for 3 years. It is only going to get worse with the Democrats in charge.

If they are, I think it is racial on their part. That government agency is no better than ACORN.

You don't like where you work.... get another job. In 2005 and 2006, the economy was still good. 4.5% unemployment. BUT NOOOOOOO, let's SUE! The freakin American Way! You wonder why Chin and India are going to blow by us!!@Q Fri, 2 Oct 2009 01:10:48 +0000 http://www.salisburypost.com/Area/100109-eeoc-sues-salisbury-motor-racial-discrimination#IDComment36782615 http://www.salisburypost.com/Opinion/091709-letters-thurs#IDComment34930575 Why isn't anyone yelling about opening up CROSS STATE LINES insurance competition. Right now, only a few insurance companies ARE ALLOWED to even sell insurance in NC. Open it up so that any insurance company can sell in any state. This will create true competition and lower insurance premiums. Second...everyone stop going to the doctor for every single sniffle you get!!! I know people....some who are just waiting to get on the government's tab....that literally go to the doctor or Pro-Med EVERY week.. Them or their kids. We are a country of pill-popping hypocondriacs! (sp?). Stop smoking, drinking like fish, and eating like pigs.

How many sick people could this amount help but yet it is thrown down the drain to this corrupt Obama organization. That is what pisses me off and no one is raising cain about it! The government wastes so much money. Have any of you seen one dollar of the stimulus money???? This is why I don't want the governemnt involved in healthcare. Allow cross state competition in insurance companies and malpractice law suits need to be limited. Also, if the government gets involved...no one will want to be a doctor and you will get the bottom of the barrell.

Obama has been self-serving his entire life. The press has given him a free ride his entire career. His policies will destroy this country HIs speech (which I am sure he changed once the uproar started) was self-serving and stupid, just like his beer summit. You see, families like mine that have a mom and dad and we eat dinner together each night and do homework together do not need this man/the government to give us advice. Do you read any political/economic websites/books/magazines? Even Warren Bufftet who supported him has stated Obama is screwing up. Please start researching what's going on. By the way, Perdue has really treated the teachers well, hasn't she?

How long are you Obamas gonna to ride the Bush train and blame him for everything. Democrats have controlled Congress since 2006.
