Double standards? Banks Vs. Automobiles
Some people seem all a-twitter regarding the firing of GM CEO Rick Wagoner and no firings to date of any of the Wall Street Banking cabal.
Scenario:
The students in the Gifted and Talented program have been caught cheating on one of their final exams. There is no question most of them cheated. The school and many community members are in an uproar. From teachers to cafeteria workers to building maintenance personnel, there is much a-do.
Many of the parents of the students in the Gifted and Talented program change the bulletin boards monthly in the lobby of the school. If you tell them what units you are going to be on, they will develop and create a bulletin board for your room. They treat all the teachers to lunch on the first day of school, just before Spring Brake and come to all the PTA Meetings. They volunteer to go on field trips with your class, one parent plays the piano and is your accompanist and they will pool their money and buy the extra calculators you need for your science or math class and one of them is always in the building doing something if no more than gossiping with the secretaries.
At the apex of the uproar and at the emergency meeting that has been called, the parents agree to deal with their child in the Gifted and Talented program on a one-on-one basis. No need to further admonish and traumatize them with talks about suspensions. Your school principal also lives in the community and used to be a teacher in the school before getting his PH.D in education.
Run that by me again what you were saying about Pres. Obama being partial to the bankers? I’m all ears!

Workers say Obama treated autos worse than Wall St

Excerpt:
"It's the age-old Wall Street vs. Main Street smack down again," said Brian Fredline, president of UAW Local 602 at a plant near Lansing. "You have all kinds of funding available to banks that are apparently too big to fail, but they're also too big to be responsible."
"But when it comes to auto manufacturing and middle-class jobs and people that don't matter on Wall Street, there are certainly different standards that we have to meet -- higher standards -- than the financials. That is a double standard that exists and it's unfair," Fredline said.
