Like I said it is what you do with the downs in your life that garners respect.

If you want to discuss outsourcing that is for an other thread, and you know it. Your agenda belongs elsewhere, and because it does you made people mad here(a discussion of the Presidents speach not outsourcing and your whining). Then you take our anger for you misplaced argument and plant it elsewhere to support your agenda. Sorry you have gained nothing but my contempt for trying to twist this situation to your advantage.

Try going to the treads that have discussed outsourcing in the past....oh but that would not fit your agenda so nicely.

Quibble as you will, and make your excuses. Responses were given with enough specificity they spoke for themselves. I could have gone to any thread and gotten the same response and that was the point. I grabbed one at random to prove a point and immediately saw a post to respond to that raised my dander.

Didn't know until then that the president was going to speak cause I've been sick today and busy with my other threads since I got home up till company arrived. Didn't know what he'd be saying either. So I dived in and raised an economy concern on a thread that might have been topical and might have even had the President speaking to the issue. So it looked like it would be even more useful - but not. Just useful enough. If I weren't preoccupied, I might have read a little more before posting; but, then If I'm looking for gut reaction, what did it matter. It was provided in spades. The one person who had anything decent to say, emailed privately. Presumeably so as not to be assailed.
