Talk about silliness! Do you shop for your baloney or does it just come naturally wrapped?

She seemed pretty happy with his answer to me - she thanked him and said she would take him up on his offer. Do you think she would have been happier with an "I'm sorry to hear that"? And if her husband ends up with a job from this, I know EXACTLY who they'll be voting for in November.

This reminds me of the single mother who told Bush that she was working 3 jobs to support her 3 teenage sons and he just praised her and told her she was the "embodiment of the American dream". Not one thing about her dire situation and what that must be like for her and her sons penetrated his "compassionate conservatism".

I absolutely agree. In fact, by showing (and expressing) interest, he did a lot more than giving "lip service" and even more than helping that ONE man. He was obviously interested in finding out why the semi-conductor industry is not hiring local workers, since they seem to want to continue importing foreign workers.

By showing that interest, and doing something about it, President Obama may help much more than that ONE case, but to find out a solution for this problem for MANY of this specific industry's unemployed.

What a fantastic president. he is personally going to get everyone jobs!

I am going to send him my resume this instant. Everyone should.

Obama's Employment Service, "I won't rest until every American has a job."

Whatta clown. The man doesn't even know how to pretend to be in charge.

And Bush wasn't even Charles In Charge.

Obama is kicking con ass all around.

What, exactly, has he done about it.

First he tried to turn it into a commercial for himself [now there's a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing surprise] and promote his "infrastructure" agenda.

Let's see what happens with that resume and if he can put anything where his mouth is.

And, I wonder how many resumes the White House is going to receive as a result of this. Can he get them all jobs.

That whole thing was just a stupid parlor trick to get rid of her.

Which hand do you use to eat your words?

I don't think anybody except Conservatives would expect him to personally try to find her husband a job. That's what he has aides for - to check into situations like this and report back to him. But I guess if he's able to be helpful to that family, it won't count unless he PERSONALLY makes all the phone calls and asks all the questions? Lmao!

Nevermind the millions of unemp engineers represented by this man. He oughta just take whatever Barack throws to him and be happy with it, huh?

Liberals have unbelievably low standards for their heroes. And not an ounce of compassion for the suffering of others. *tsk tsk*

I'm perfectly OK with the notion that Obama will have somebody look at his resume and find out why he hasn't been able to get a job. You know - it just COULD be that there's some reason besides a lack of jobs that he can't find another one.

For whatever reason, Obama wants to know why he can't find a job and why if there are so many qualified, unemployed engineers they're still bringing people in from other countries on the HlB(?) visas to take the jobs that ARE available.

Obama didn't promise her a job for her husband - he promised to try to find out what the problem is with unemployed engineers already here and still bringing in engineers from other countries. THAT may be the problem that needs attention most urgently.

Your posts always seem to follow the same pattern: empty and childish attacks and stupid jokes about your President.

Don't you ever get tired of the low level of posting?

Don't you wish you could earn your "SMARTmouthwoman" name for a change?

I think you have her confused with me.

Obama's a dork!

See?
