We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

Obama Wins 2012 Presidential Election
'The best is yet to come!' As a country I trust we will put aside our issues and think only of building a consensus to improve the economy and unite our country. Then work toward making it a stronger, more focused, more inclusive . hjh
Hilary Have you given thought to the coal miners ? and also what EPA will do to blenko and other small industry/business. Obama is not good for WV Ky Ohio or any of us.
No administration is going to help Blenko - least of all a Republican 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps and don't expect a handout' administration. Now if Blenko were actually profitable and not in bankruptcy then they could potentially benefit from lower taxes that Republicans prefer. But Blenko is a failed business that is not even profitable because of their own choices. Meanwhile anti-union, anti-living wage, anti-affordable healthcare Republicans will hurt Blenko employees. As for coal miners, pretty sure the EPA will help them live longer - their life spans were much shorter without effective government oversight. Plus coal is killing the planet and polluting the state of WV. Building clean energy and retraining miners for better jobs in that field will work well for everyone.
Hats off to both of you. Coal miners are out of work and will remain out of work, but we'll have clean air. Retraining miners for better work? For this they must go out of state. Even with your precious Blenko are not the talented workers forced to leave the state? I think history will support this statement. Geoff

This year the President received an overwhelming victory.
We all should support him, else our country will suffer.
Enough fighting.
