Well, who would have thought that economic Degree was more than paper purchased by G.W.'s father. Certainly not the Liberals that persist in the notion he's a dunce, nor the 'true conservatives' speaking from their armchairs knowingly about how the crash is imminent.

This is one of the benefits to having a President that understands economics.

I am not in a position to set up anything, much less a training program, besides, the problem exists within a number of different organisations.

"Is this Taft guy a descendant of the former President/Chief Justice?......."

Yep, same family. Not sure the exact relationship, but the Tafts are to Ohio what the Kennedys are to MA. Well, sort of, Robert Taft may be an idiot, but he's no Ted Kennedy!

If it's any comfort, we ALL despise Taft even beyond your state. He's one of the reasons I'm going to donate to your Governor's race a few times to try to get someone that will fix the damage. It's one of the few out of state contributions I'm going to make. Santorum, Steele, Harris and a few others. Though if you find someone to challenge DeWine I'll donate to the challenger. ;-)

Besides, they are aways bringing along one of their obnoxious, artsy-farsty, "creative" brats. They just hang around and take photos all day. And they can always find a malcotest - usually the one stuck with dry cleaning dsuty that week - and make some big deal out if it.

Before you know it could get our mugs on some whinging, liberalm "Urban Blight" blog somewhere, and the next thing you know we will be knee-deep in media, and that will just ruin the neighborhood. WE are just a bunch of wuite homebodies yonder.

Can't have that.

I think president Taft was buried in a piano crate. Bob Taft is of normal size, his only disguishing trait being that he looks retarded. (I know that's mean, but if you live in Ohio, you know he deserves it).
Just check out the national governor approval ratings. Taft is dead last with a 17% approval rating.

From what I understand is that President Taft did not want to be President and he gained weight due to being President. After he lost the election he lost weight.

"If it's any comfort, we ALL despise Taft even beyond your state."

The only comfort I can take in that is given Taft ran for public office, I would expect he has an enormous ego and thrist for public praise/approval. Knowing that he's damaged goods nationwide is some comfort. But it doesn't fix the considerable damage that moron has done.
Between DeWine, Voinovich and Taft, our state has quite a collection. The GOP has let us down.

You are correct, sir. I misread your original post.

Of course this report is regarded as lies and viewed as bad news over at the DUmp. No wonder that crowd is always so depressed.

Those restrictions were great ways for HR to eliminate a lot of resumes when our unemployment rate was high.

Now they are standing in the way, and the HR's need to respond to the current employment situation.

I never worry about companies who don't respond. I just don't invest in them. They will be the ones in trouble and blaming the trouble on GW in a year or so.

Arnold is at 35% approval. Taft is 17%, the closest to Taft is Murkowski in Alaska at 31%. Taft is a HUGE loser.

We are both in the same camp re the unemployment rate.

There are some counties in N California with a lower than 5% unemployment rate, and the reality is those who are unemployed fall into the group you posted about or the ones who have failed to acquire new job skills and won't.

That's great, but it doesn't much help people looking for work.

As usual rich elite bratty kids are exploiting the poor like you and your friends for financial and emotional gains.

My son works in construction and they can't find enough employees. I've had his kids this summer and he has literally worked 16 hours a day.

Only 207,000? I had predicted 550,000. This falls well far-short of that prediction. I am deeply disappointed. Unless 700,000 new jobs are created next month, we will be in an intractable recession.
