President Obama said,
“I believe that we can make things better. How we respond is up to us. There are a few things that we can and should do, right now, to redouble our efforts on behalf of the American people."
“Let me give you some examples. Right now, there are over a million construction workers out of work after the housing boom went bust, just as a lot of America needs rebuilding. We connect the two by investing in rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our railways and our infrastructure. And we could put back to work right now some of those construction workers that lost their jobs when the housing market went bust.”
Really Mr. President?
The President apparently thinks all construction is the same and all construction workers are the same. Well that’s not true, the men and women in the housing construction not the same as those in commercial construction or infrastructure construction. So how would a guy who installs floor or bath tile be needed on a road, bridge or railway? If you’re going to tile a bridge, well that’s going to be one expensive bridge. Maybe on road jobs we can have carpet installers put down carpets on the roads? Wouldn’t that be special?
Maybe if I put it in a way the President might understand. Take lawyers, you have Criminal Trial Lawyers, Divorce Lawyers, Contract Lawyers, Environmental Lawyers, Corporate Lawyers, Constitutions Lawyers, Bankruptcy Lawyers, and so on. If you are being tried for murder would you want a Criminal Trail Lawyer such as a Criminal Defense Attorney or a Contract Lawyer whose job is to write or read contracts and only court experience is in cases regarding a contract dispute?
So Mr. President we construction workers are not all the same. I'm a little supprised that the President Obama of all people would stereotype.

UR - this is just one problem with Obama and many of the "leaders" in Washington. They have NO EXPERIENCE with the outside world. These people for the most part are academics and lawyers. They went to Ivy league colleges and straight into politics. Most have never changed oil in their own car, or had to take a second job at McDonald's to cover bills, or had to file for unemployment. The experience of you, me and 2/3 of Americans is irrelevant to them. I'd bet Obama has never picked up a hammer or a wrench, let alone used one. Life and death is just an exercise in academic theory to them.
You know with this debt crisis if the congress or the president doesn’t pass something, it's going to be like what happen back in the 90s when the government shut down.
Government employees won’t be getting a pay check but yet congress and the president will still get paid. What’s sad is a lot of people don’t realize that people who work in and take care of Federal Museums won’t get paid or Park Rangers or Park Maintenance people who clean up after tourist in federal parks and rest rooms or the maintenance people who clean the bath rooms at the U.S. Capital Building where congress meets. Oh but the Congress men and women (Republican, Democrat & Independence) will get paid as well as President Obama. In other words the little people that work for the Federal government get screwed.
