I agree with most of what the president is saying, but WHAT IS UP WITH THIS RETRAINING FOR JOBS? HOW ABOUT PREVENTING OUR CORPORATIONS THAT BENEFIT FROM OUR COUNTRY TO SHIP PROFESSIONAL JOBS OVERSEAS TO 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES?

He mentioned high tech jobs in healthcare, lots of research is now poised to go overseas, so there's little insentive for people to study the sciences and engineering. Mr. President, you must address this, if your oponents offer a solution to this horrible problem you're going to force some of us to vote AGAINTS you!

Do you support free and fair trade or do you want the government to tell businesses who they can hire, who they can subcontract to, etc. That's pretty close to the minority hiring and contract awards in place now. More of that?

Yes, it sucks that jobs are going overseas to where they are cheaper, more profitable. We have to do it better and more cheaply - or lose it. That's the way free trade works.
