With all due respect...have you ever talked to blue collar workers? Those who live in poor towns or industrial towns? They will do all kinds of work no matter what the job. This is just shady...I just wish you could see this.

Please don't assume I know nothing of difficult times. My father was a diecaster (sp?) at Johnson Motors. During layoffs he pumped gas, janitored the local schools and did handyman work. As a teen I took in ironing to help out.

My husband was out of work for 11 months. He did handyman work and I cleaned houses to make ends meet. We did what was necessary. We both have degrees.

Flyer posting the main points of Bush's speech. Perhaps you could take a look at his post.

You will find that a good portion of the posters on this forum despise blue-collar workers and are happy to see them get the shaft. Peruse some of the outsourcing/offshoring threads sometime.
