Election Day 2008

Now, good old Barrack wants people to take the day off from their jobs and from school to help work in the election process. What! he actually is telling people to keep their kids out of school. If your child is not in school , then your district actually loses state money and costs you more in local school taxes. I thought people were hurting and needed money badly . Taking off work will cost them money unless they use sick days or vacation. If they use sick days is he encouraging them to lie? Why would voters need the day off anyway? Some states have already been voting for a month or at least a week or two. Do that many people still have a job? The law already says your employer has to give you time to vote, so unless someone plans to vote more than once I don't understand why one would need the entire day off. Barracks wrong about this too!
