President Joe Biden, 81, appeared to forget his own name during a speech on the economy delivered at Washington, D.C.’s Union Station on Tuesday. “My dad used to say ‘A job… Joey… I give you my word as a tray… ‘” the President began, confusingly stumbling over his words. Abandoning the anecdote, Biden said: “A job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect.”In a video of the speech, Biden briefly hesitates while attempting to quote his father’s words, appearing unclear how his father referred to him in the anecdote before settling on...

VIDEO: On November 4, 2008, we gave you power in the House, the Senate, and in the Oval Office. We voted for hope. We voted for change, that balance would be restored, that the world would be safer, that our families would be stronger, and that our future would be brighter. We trusted you, so we elected you. We regret it!

I am graduating with a masters tomorrow and I have yet to find a job. I have been looking for over a year and cant find one. My field is educational technology (curriculum design for corporations and businesses ie training). I have an idea, we could get every new college grad to send their resume to Bush demanding that he find them a job and flood the whitehouse with resumes of unemployed white collar workers then perhaps he will wake up and do something instead of spouting off about how there are jobs and he created them.

The Jewish Task Force not too long ago endorsed President Bush for re-election. Yet here on FR their article are banned. JTF.org on at their site have these headlines Fighting to save America and Israel from Islamic terrorism! Fighting to save America and Israel from "Hanoi John" Kerry! What is so extreme about that?
