What Obama Can Teach You About Getting Hired

For me to work for the railroad you have to pass one almighty standard. No criminal record. To be president you must be a native born citizen. Why in the world would a man spend $800,000 to keep his original birth certificate from the public's view. That's more then his salary for the next two years. Something smells bad unless you turn a blind eye to it which is exactly what the media and those who follow the democrat party so blindly have done. I had one person tell me they would vote the party line no matter who was on the ticket!
Really? No matter who? That was all I could say to them.

We have come along way.Everyone has joined in and helped each other believe that Obama would vecome Prsident Obanma and it is real WE! have a black President The President Elect Barack Obama. Me granddaughter is a little high on the President "he's the same as me and hold her head up. The children at school treats her better (so her father say) We are in Toledo,Oh and her mother have my three children in Washington.The location I don't really know. I surely understand that putting forth the correct conduct,talking with goood sen se and letting others see some kind quality progress in your life.I'm willing to work and need to work in order to help get my family ahead. There is one profession that will never change, social work rather its done by a religious person, recovered alcohol or drug counselor our society need a boost in the community we live in. We have poor runndown surroundings with no belief it will get better.I'm still doing my best to observe and not get into conversations that may do more damage than good.We have children here that really don't know what's really happening with their lives they are living from what they see others do. I'm willing to go out into our society and help. So I am all in for a change and the trigger has to be turned in the right direction.I see President Barack Obama going to the major problems and talking spiriualty and by good spirit I do believe anything is possible.I don't can if I have to paint or rack grass if it wil help young ones see there is a way to make a dollar.

I think build a reputation and charisma was born and build. I am tired to make a better performance for a good hired employment position. I am just faith to God and never give up..

This article made some really good points. Too bad none of the people who commented read it. They just wanted to use it as a spring board to complain about politics. Kinda sad.

Instead of teaching people how to find jobs, I think it's important to encourage people to set up their own business to provide more job opptunitis.In this hardest time, if no boss have no willing to hire someone, on matter how a person fit the job, he will not hire. Even if he hire someone, he must fire another onw. This makes no contribution to alleviate the unemployment rate.
I hope America can deal with the economic crisis so it will not affact my country a lot.

Key to Mr Obama's made for Hollywood campaign was the ability to control the press and hide the dirt. Mr. Biden demonstrated that after being asked a couple questions he did not like as did the campaign after they throw reporters off the plan after their paper supported the other guy.
We still ask why did Mr. Obama get his birth records sealed if he had nothing to hide? Why did he not just produce a birth certificate rather than fight multiple law suits? Heck the average smuck needs a birth certificate to get a passport!
This campaign showed what can be done if you have adequate advertising, both positive (that advertising they bought) and defensive (the press hiding the dirt).
Will be interesting time, I pray the US remains strong enought to survive.
