She slashed R&D, forced a merger with a Compaq which had nearly identical product lines (reduced competition), then laid off huge swaths of employees from both companies. She took HP from being a tech development leader that also made PCs and printers to being a consumer product also-ran that hasn't come up with much original in the last decade. Those actions did pop the stock price nicely and make her and a lot of other people a good short-term profit, but it was done at the expense of the long-term growth of the company. <br /><br />Someone who will sacrifice the long-term good of the organization she leads for short-term personal profit and accolades sounds an awful lot like... a typical politician. She is universally hated by the people who worked for her.

...What do obama, mccain, & cruz have in common?<br /><br />NONE of them meet the constitutional requirement to be a "natural born" citizen, previously necessary to be president.<br /><br />US citizens they are indeed, but that is only one half of the requirement.<br /><br />It is truly amazing, the progression from Juan Mclame, panamanchurian candidate, to obama the halfrican, to cruz - born a Canadian citizen of exiled Cubans.<br /><br />Yes, the NWO has succeeded in destroying this, and many other requirements.<br /><br />itorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-16080975078283089822015-08-10T18:21:45.346-04:002015-08-10T18:21:45.346-04:00Andrew - Walker is a pretty common name.

As in, "George Herb...Scott "Walker".<br />As in, "George Herbert WALKER Bush".<br /><br />I'm not voting "against" anybody next time.<br /><br />Rand Paul...maybe, but he'll never get the nomination.<br /><br />Bush...tried that twice.<br />There should be a lifetime limit per generation of 6 years in any office where a ballot is involved.<br />Same with "getting a government paycheck". No permanent government jobs, at any level. From dog catcher to President...everything in between. While I'm dreaming, I want a Mustang. As in, a P51, and the land to land it on...armed...ammunition...a couple tankers of gas...parts...<br /><br />Where was I...<br /><br />Probably just going to wish there was a "NO" option, or "None of the Above".<br /><br />Maybe next time around that can be in a revised Constitution if that ever happens.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-88516098852791567892015-08-09T19:09:03.241-04:002015-08-09T19:09:03.241-04:00I really like Scott Walker.

Is she ok with sending about 30 million of them packing? I think we should use retired vets to send everyone fcking home.<br /><br />Voting will not get us out of this mess and electing corporate lackeys ain't gonna help either. Local Local local and stop voting it's a damn waste of time. There is no end of idiots who are willing to help decide how to spend "budgets" at the National, State and Local levels.
