It sucks - there's no simple answer.

I agree entirely. But training out-of-work manufacturing workers for tech jobs that are the most likely candidates to be outsourced overseas is definitely NOT one of the possible answers. What this shows is that Bush has given little or no thought to the realities of the modern job market.

This is not what he said.

we need to make sure that people get the training necessary to keep up with the nature of the jobs, as jobs change

As jobs requirements change, we all need to change to keep up with them or we will get left behind. This usually involves learning about some new technology, but it does not mean moving to a tech-job.
