Tue Dec 02, 2008 11:09 pm  00SL2 F L I N T O I D Ask dumb question, get dumb answer: Call it the "dumbing down" of Flint. It's not going to change until there are leaders in office who know what they're supposed to do, and can and will do it well. That means you'd have to take the politics out of running the city and that's not going to happen. Tue Dec 02, 2008 11:23 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D Along those lines why would anyone spend $750,000,000 to become president so he can make $400,000 a year. Hells Bells Barack and his old lady made more than that in the private sector. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

Don't forget the Dems came out big for him. His bud Ananich wants Lee Gonzales seat in the house. Nayirah Shariff sits on the board of directors on one of Dayne's corporations, was part of the crooked Acorn that supported Dayne, and is involved in his other ventures. Ananich, Amanda Stitt from Granholm's office and a Washington advisor for homeland security gave Dayne a fundraiser in Washington D.C. Even old politicians like Riegle and Sharp were paraded out in his behalf. There must be some plan!!
