Some Thumbs-Downs

• President Obama telling successful business owners that they didn't build their businesses. How could so many of us forget the government's help?
• President Obama saying he wants to do for other industries what he did for GM. GM's stock price is about half of what it was before he "helped" and sales last month were off 11%. It's like a doctor giving flu shots that give the flu. Great. 
• Pedestrian bulbs on Salem city streets. A colossal waste of scarce dollars. 
• Planned Parenthood teaching sex ed in Salem schools.
