Former Mich. teacher nominated for federal position

A former Michigan public schools teacher has been nominated by President Barack Obama for an administration position.

Lynnae M. Ruttledge will go before the Senate for confirmation as commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services Administration in the Department of Education.

The agency oversees grant programs that helps those with physical or mental disabilities get jobs and live more independently through counseling, medical and psychological services, job training and other individualized services, according the agency's Web site.

Ruttledge began her public service career in Michigan as a teacher in the public school system. She also worked in the non-profit sector.

Ruttledge, who was born with a disability, graduated from the Northern Michigan University with a B.A. in education.

Levin, and all the crew listen up!!

My goodness, well educated Speeches given here on the blog road to DETROIT Pressdom!! I'm here to see this, the highly educated meeting me, the uneducated. And this morning is a fine meeting, thank you. But, please excuse me if I butt in some, and let you know about the voter in America and how we see things. MOST OF THIS IS COMPLETE UTTER BULLSHI,T!! The Congress of this Untied States and the sitting President has the Wool pulled over everyones eyes. They actually think we care about what they are doing right now! And at this moment they think" We the People", a line they have been using day in and day out lately, ARE REALLY LISTENING TO THEM ON THEIR CHASE OF THE HOLY GRAIL, The Health Reform Care Bill!

I f House Members and the Senate, and even the President, HOLYBAMA, WOULD SHUT THE HECK UP FOR ONE SINGLE SOLITARY MOMENT, THEY WOULD HEAR US, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CLEARLY. PASS YOUR BILL IF YOU CHOOSE,,,,,"WE THE PEOPLE", DO NOT PLAN ON USING IT, FINE US, IF YOU MUST!!!

p.s.~ over the past 10 years "we the people" have had about enough from the Rangle camp to fill a zillion trailer loads of crap to last and last our great great great grandchildren's lives, OK Charlie. How about just talking like a normal person, whether your white and I'm black, or I'm white and your black, let it GO, FOR GODS SAKE. YOU SIR HAVE CAUSED SO MANY PROBLEMS BY TALKING IT ISN'T FUNNY. MR. RANGEL ONE DAY YOU WILL ANSWER TO GOD FOR ALL THE GRIEF YOU HAVE CAUSED PEOPLE FOR THE STUPIDITY AND THINGS YOU HAVE SAID JUST TO MAKE NEWS! IT REALLY WASN'T FOR ANY REAL REASON, IT NEVER HAS REALLY MEANT ANYTHING IMPORTANT, IT WAS JUST TO CAUSE TROUBLE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL GOD WHY YOU DID SOME OF THESE STUPID THINGS YOU HAVE DONE IN YOUR LIFE IN THE NAME OF RACE!! GOOD LUCK, BECAUSE WATCHING SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE DOME OVER THE YEARS ARE SO PUZZLING AND REVOLTING, HOW ABOUT JUST BEING NICE! HOW ABOUT JUST LIVING BY THE GOLDEN RULE, GODS RULE, TREAT OTHERS LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED, EVER THINK ABOUT THAT, AND MAYBE YOU COULD PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO YOUR FRIEND AL SHARPTEN, HE COULD USE SOME ADVICE IN BEING NICE TO PEOPLE ALSO~~
