PBS host Gwen Ifill lectures Elkhart, Indiana |
2016-06-02 |
I blame the Winnebago disconnect. Barely a minute into Wednesday’s PBS town hall event with President Barack Obama, PBS NewsHour co-host Gwen Ifill took a few digs at the The town hall, which was designed to have the President take questions from the audience, began with Ifill explaining that Wednesday’s visit to Elkhart by the President was his "fifth visit to the once and again R.V. Capital of the world, a small city where the unemployment rate hit 19.6 percent his first year in office, and now has dropped to about four percent." Taking into no consideration things that the townspeople or local and state governments may have done to improve business, Ifill went right to wondering why "this White House isn’t get any credit for that turnaround." |

#10 "B" you can add a 10th chart to the 9, the death rate. It has increased for the first time in a decade. The increase is attributed to drug overdose deaths. Probably due to a permissive attitude from D.C. about drugs (as well as some other reasons). |

#5 Exactly what did the "great one" accomplish to help anyone get a real 40 hour a week job? Anywhere? Other than the federal job boom, all we see are the 30 hour a week jobs. |

#4 I recall that Elkhart had a sizeable KKK membership back in the day. Gwen wasn't necessarily on neutral ground. Posted by ElziverKnaggs I suspect you're on to something Elziver, racist southern cities, etc. but perhaps not totally in alignment with your thinking. |

#3 Hmmm. I recall that Elkhart had a sizeable KKK membership back in the day. Gwen wasn't necessarily on neutral ground.

#1 Gwen feels obliged to support one of her own--a liberal Democrat that is. |
