Must’ve been a sudden decision, they’ve had numerous positions open for project managers, etc. up until even this week.

Noticed the comment about Bush’s fault. Getting more than just a little old. Took the poll at that site - 67% of the people responding say they voted for Romney.

From an article just posted:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/President/2012/1108/How-Obama-won-in-a-weak-economy-Voters-didn-t-blame-him

Even though three-fourths of voters see the state of the economy as “not so good” or poor, they didn’t hold Obama as primarily to blame, the Washington Post reports. When asked if they assigned blame more to Obama or to President Bush, only 38 percent of voters said they saw Obama as responsible for current conditions.
