We have graduated from a trades population to a technology based work force.

I sincerely doubt that a computer programmer will be able to survive as a bricklayer, cement specialist, framing expert, etc.

Besides that the technology-trained workforce probably will not have the physical stamina to survive in a blood and sweat career.

Another point, technology trained people will most likely not "lower" themselves to get their hands dirty and sweat to do the manual labor jobs that fixing the infrastructure will involve. This can be substantiated by the fact that many of those who are unemployed will do everything they can to avoid taking a job "not in their career field" while searching for that "dream" job.

And what type of jobs will they be? From what I understand from his speech they would be "temporary" type jobs.

being selected as Secretary of State?

Or will all the secrets they have with foreign investments become a problem?

Maybe they can go live on Obama's street where Ayers, Farrakhan and Resko have houses. Should fit right in there

campaign fund raisers?

Was flipping through channels and heard that, but didn't notice what channel I had when I heard iti.

or just the ones that agree with their opinion?

It seems like their question is a covert bashing and they await the overt bashings.

They have spoken and plan to meet soon (presumably before Obama is sworn into office). Apparently there are "urgent" items that must be discussed.

I thought I heard Obama say we only have one President at a time in his acceptance speech. So what is the deal? and what can we believe of what he says?

The next time you hear a politician use the

word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about

whether you want the 'politicians' spending

YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,

but one advertising agency did a good job of

putting that figure into some perspective in

one of it's releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain...

let's take a look at New Orleans ...

It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D)is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans Interesting number...

what does it mean?

A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528.

B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in

New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or... if you are a family of four...your family gets $2,066,012.

Washington , D. C

HELLO!

Are all your calculators broken??

What can he do to make things better in his first 100 days which seems to be the measure of how things will be throughout his term?

This campaign has lasted over 21 months. Will the next one be as long, longer, or hopefully shorter?

three newspaper groups off their campaign plane.

Strange all three newspapers just happened to endorse McCain?

Censorship is healthy and blooming.

didn't Obama spread the wealth among the poor?

Or is just other people's money he wants to redirect?

With all the posturing going on now by Pelosi, Reed, and Frank especially, will Obama have any power to disagree with them.

Remember they are SURE they will have a veto proof congress

Will you wish you had waited to vote?

What was the reason you rushed to vote early?

He hates his own constituents, calls them racists and red necks, and has dissed American servicemen. I think that old guy should fold up his tent and hide from himself.

Just watched a smidget from the hearings going on in DC now.

They are so conflicting. When you are called for a poll, their questions are so twisted that it is impossible to answer. I believe most people tell them what they want to hear.

He had brain aneurysm a few years back -- there is no report of that or any followup examinations in the released records.

Besides, the doctor critiquing the records has never examined Biden and doesn't know him.

Curious.

What is he afraid of?

If there were no payroll deductions and people were billed quarterly for their taxes, due before the next quarter they would know exactly how much money they were paying in taxes Then maybe people would think twice before they begged for another handout
