If the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES uses his influence to get your three-year-unemployed husband a job, lady, then not only should you vote for him, you should volunteer to fly to Washington and provide sexual favors.

He is still black you know. She may not be ready to vote for one of them yet...

//Borrowed that language from one of my dad's racist POS friends.

Her point was the jobs being given out like candy to foreign workers by companies here and the government's compliance by giving out work visas for them. The import version of outsourcing. He was totally clueless on the issue and didn't even know that US workers in the industry were having issues finding jobs.

So I'd agree with her not voting for him unless he does something to address the issue.

This woulda gone a whole lot better if Obama wasn't black.

He may have gotten her husband a job, but he's still blah

Diogenes: Of course she's not under any obligation to vote for him. That would essentially be buying a vote.

Why shouldn't she sell her vote? Congresspersons from both parties do it every day of the week, in public, with no shame or remorse or any seeming embarrassment at their open display of graft and corruption. Really, let's stop pretending here. Why shouldn't citizens sell their votes? Why should they be held to a different standard than members of the political establishment?

So wait... She mentioned she was a GOPer, asked him to dance, and he still helped her?

History's greatest monster indeed.

"We're just one American," she said.

Um... what?

So I'd agree with her not voting for him unless he does something to address the issue.

And when he does address the issue, I'm sure you'll find something else to dislike about him.

Jennifer Wedel said Wednesday that she felt like she was "hushed up a little bit" by Obama when they spoke, but that she also found him candid and appreciated his accessibility. "I don't think any other president has shown that outreach," Wedel said.

Are you shiatting me lady? You felt hushed up a little by the farking President of the United States? Wow, where the hell did you get that enormous sense of self entitlement. The POTUS is talking with you, one on one, about your own individual life situation and you're going to biatch about how you felt hushed up a little bit?

I'm calling hackery. This chick is the new Joe the Plumber, full of shiat.

Whether or not she votes for him is irrelevant. The amount of good press he's getting from her failed attempts to make him look bad is worth far more than her simple vote.

"Just because he's able to send a resume out, that's not going to be a vote factor," Wedel said.

"We're just one American," she said. "There are thousands of Americans just like my husband with no job."

Probably because they don't send their resume anywhere.

This woman needed the president to forward a resume to recruiters?

Disagree with Obama's poilcy all you want, the guy is just one very damn nice person.

monoski: //Borrowed that language from one of my dad's racist POS friends.

You know, I used to think the same thing about my Dad's friends. Until I became friends with one of my Dad's friend's son, and when he said the exact same thing about his Dad's friends I realized my Dad was also a racist POS. This was quite a while ago of course, but it's funny how hard it is to detect racist POSs among family members.

/well, at least for me, because at one time I respected him greatly
//now I only respect his title

So Obama is in fact a job creator...?

So, what's the deal? He is an EE who has been out of work for three years?

I did not see the original information, so I may have that wrong, but if that is the case it says more about him than the economy. My wife has a friend who's husband was an IT guy. He lost his job (in some undetermined way) years ago and has been working odd jobs while they live in her mother's basement. This area has essentially full employment for IT workers. Either he is not a good employee or he just doesn't want a real job.

Bloody William: "We're just one American," she said.

Um... what?

They're just one retarded. Give they a breaks.

KellyX: So Obama is in fact a job creator...?

Well, as long as you keep 'job' singular, sure. But i'll be surprised if the Republicans even give with that much credit.

lennavan: This chick is the new Joe the Plumber, full of shiat.

If only there was some profession she could call on to help with that...

TFA says that after the resume was sent to area companies, he got calls from recruiters. I wonder how much of that was due to his actual job skills and how much was due to the publicity from the president himself trying to help out.

However, considering that he got calls from several recruiters, I interperet the "interesting" comment as him saying that her husband's job skill was in demand and that he shouldn't have much trouble finding a job, even with foreign visas added into the equation.

I'm Brian and so's my wife!

Heh. Heh. She said "thousands".

Are any of the GOP candidates going to limit the number of work visas or prevent companies from outsourcing workers overseas?

Lansydyr: However, considering that he got calls from several recruiters, I interperet the "interesting" comment as him saying that her husband's job skill was in demand and that he shouldn't have much trouble finding a job, even with foreign visas added into the equation.

The fact that all they had to do was send his resume to recruiters to drum up some interest tells me they've been sitting on their asses biatching about foreigners taking all the damn jerbs instead of actually looking.

Here we see the intelligence level of the average Republican voter.

Romney is running on increasing the number issued for high tech jobs, because we likes da smart brownies.

Yeah, but that requires rational thought and not just sitting back and saying, "Obama BAD" and "They took our jorbs!!"

:)

Sounds like she got played from a lazy ass husband. "All the foreigners are takin' the jobs! One even took the Presidency! That's why I sit here and drink beer all day!!! Now make me a sammich."
