Hope all you Obama hatters (RicK) will be happy to have what's his name win and figure out he isn't going to do any better than Obama. Romney has said he is against Civil Service Employment and it need to be privitized. I have worked Civil Service for over 28 years and was married to a retired soldier for 20 yrs. It is a good life. We haven't seen a pay increase in 2 years and now may see a 0.5 in April. The cost of living will increase and take that plus. At least Obama is fighting to keep the military and it's federal employees in place for your safety. I am not rich so I know Romney isn't going to make my pay any better. Infact he will get rid of it. People think for yourselves and research the past accomplishments of our vote in officials. Don't let prejudices dictate your decision. Republican or Democrat doesn't matter. It's about who will do the better job. Also, the President can only do as much as those working with (him/her) will support them in doing.
