Kory Kath and hometown roots

Myth-Kory Kath has lived his whole life in Owatonna, and knows everybody in town.

Reality-actually, this one is true.  Kory really has lived here his whole life, and knows a lot of people. But is that a good thing?

Kath has never held a private sector job. He went from high school to college and a political science degree.  He went on to work with in Sen Wellstone's office, and then became a teacher.  Later he went back to school for his graduate degree in teaching.  Now he is a union rep and state representative.  Nowhere in that history has there been a private sector job, or a job where he could be fired for doing a bad job.  Nowhere in that history has he had any experience with running a business.

In truth, Kory Kath is very similar to Barrack Obama, who had no experience before being elected president.  Kath was a community organizer as a union rep and as a teacher, and he had a lot of his students working on his election for him (I know, I was one of them).  But after seeing who he really is the last two years, the student army he had has evaporated.  Last election, he had the best website and facebook, now his website has still not been finished a week before the election, and the party co-chair has been running the facebook page.

If you think people are disappointed with Obama, you can understand how people feel about Kath.  Both are slick talking politicians who promise whatever people want to hear, and then blame someone else when they fail to deliver.  I voted for both of them once, but I wont be fooled again.
