The same Hopefulhairy that was thinking about flying A-10s but didn't want to go to Iraq? Well, at least you are proud, prouder, hopeful and ready. You've got that going for you, ......which is nice.

Maybe the computers could be hooked up to stationary bikes and some of the new federal employees could provide green pedal power.

Can I just say that no matter what your political affiliation, I'm sure we all can agree that we hope the new President can turn this economy around, cut corporate greed, and garner some respect for the American worker in the form of increased pay, benefits and more secure retirements.
It's a tall order, but that's part of his job now and my prayers are with him.

Ok, let me try to save this thread, because I sense it will go downhill from here quick.

Amen to that but one man cannot bring about the change that everyone has spoke of. But hopefully he can at least be, in a manner speaking, the cheerleader. It's up to the voters to TELL their representative on the direction that this country needs to take.

Since about 1999, government Jobs are more numerous than Manufacturing Jobs. As Long as that persists, we are just circling the Drain.
America passes a milestone!

Did anyone else catch Obama's call for workers to accept lower wages in order to keep their fellow men/women employed?? I wonder if any of the ND's will take those words to heart and perhaps stop flying CO, or even retire?
Um, let me answer my own question . . . He!! NO!

He did not call for the workers to accept lower wages, he applauded the willingness of people to throw aside greed to help their fellow worker. He never said that he was calling for more of this. It was one of many examples of coming together.
I just love how easy it is to throw around the word socialism to make people coming together sound like a bad thing. Those firefighters at the WTC sure were socialists. How dare they help their fellow americans!
