Meanwhile, back on earth.....it seems like the only job that Obama's concerned about is his own.

Send him back to Chicago next year.

Another issue which is related to this mess, is education and training. Obtaining a good college education to compete w/ India/Asia is becoming more out of reach. Most of my colleagues in India has a Master's degree. While my colleagues and I only have a BS/BA in Computer Science or an AS. How are we suppose to compete when the cost of college education has increased by almost 500% since 1985? My wife got her MS, but we are in debt paying for it.

Bottom line. Corporations are for profit. They are not patriotic. If they can ship jobs overseas for cheaper labor, they will and they are!!! I don't understand why this is such a mystery to people. The purpose of tax breaks to corporations is to create jobs and help the economy in America. At least that is what we are told. Obviously we've been lied to. I work in the banking industry in IT. More than half my colleagues are either in India or some part of Asia.

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe these companies that made these job cuts aren't hiring back because they realize that they can run just as good without those people? It's gonna be hard to recreate those jobs when they are realizing that they can do it with less. It's also hard to create jobs when big companies are moving over to India and hiring there on the cheap. At this point I hope any President can figure this out and make a change.

@ghtg321wallace So you must be part of the 24% minority, that thinks the country is headed in the right direction? And just how long does Bush have to be blamed for everything? Funny how you liberals never talk about the Democrat lead Congress for the past 4 years.

Now why would someone under 35 vote for this professional politician, again?

Can the young people fall for the ROCK STAR Rhetoric again? My guess is they stay home on election day.............they are out of work and see THEIR DEBT, no Medicare or SS to collect when they need it.

Ron Paul is a joke, an anti semite who will never get elected president. Obama is on the right path. Re-Building the house that Bush collasped.
