Smoke and mirrors! Obama hasn't a clue. When will people wake up!

CEO Contradicts Obama on Rehiring Employees

At a Caterpillar Inc. plant in Peoria, Ill., today, President Obama said that his proposed economic stimulus would allow the company's CEO to rehire recently laid-off employees. But the head of the company said he will have to fire more workers before he can rehire anyone who has been let go.

It is not going to happen overnight. With the infrastructure money incuded in the stimulus, folks will be employed to work on the road, highways and government buildings. What everyone need to keep in mind is, many of these "companies" are going to be looking for cheap labor. So if you have someone who has been with the company for 10-15 years making 80K per year and you can hire someone new (contractor) making only 30K, which option do you think their going to take.

Before you argue me down, its already begun happening. Temp agencies are growing in large numbers because of this fact. Many companies are letting go hire paid workers to bring in lower paid workers.

Obama is in way over his head, and we can only hope the nation survives until he is gone... The car salesman has been exposed, people are learning about him, and his popularity is dropping like a stone. Even the dummies who voted for him are wising up....

If people that voted for Obama are dummies, what name do you have for people that supported Bush or wanted to see Palin a heartbeat away from the Presidency? I'll bet its a doozy.

Pray for Bush, he saved your miserable butt for eight years...
Of course you are completely wrong on every bad thing you say about him, but we understand. You are a demo, if you could think for yourself, you would be Republican....

If you believe that tax cuts for billionaires are the answer to our economic crisis, then you're certainly "thinking for yourself."
