now i understand the republican position

The man holding the default gun at Obama's
(and the Democrats) head represents Ohio's
arch-conservative Republican industrialists.

They are the people who'd rather turn Detroit,
Cleveland and Akron (once the Tyre Capital of
the world) into half-empty ghettos by sending
American jobs to low-wage lands like China
than pay a living wage to American workers.

If John Boehner and his profit-mad cohorts
are prepared to do THIS to one American
city, they'd have no qualms engineering a
default to destroy the US economy if that
kept donations rolling in for Republicans
to help Boehner unseat President Obama.
