Is it so bad in the USA that even the president's brother has to get out of the country to have a job?

LOL lots of companies have overseas operations and plenty of people choose to work overseas either to experience world culture or get paid more maybe even to help them understand having business dealings w american companies....
him being the presidents brother is irrelevant unless ur someone whos looking for something to gripe about

Billy Carter was a drunk, big deal, hell yes the USA is that bad, I'm thinking about going overseas to get a job, the pay is probably better too....The only problem with Obama is his big mouth, he's a smooth talker with oratory skills out of this world, but he made astronomical promises that can't be kept, however it won't be from lack of trying....still though he is far too inexperienced for the job, but give him credit, he surrounded himself with great people, is it enough...we'll know in a few years......My only pet peeve with him is, joining Oprah (well she got him elected, lmao) in the olympics venture and going on all these late night talk shows and charging it to the tax payer, plus he's getting paid for his appearences, maybe that time could be best spent winning the war, no not the one in afganistan or Iraq, the one here, poverty and kids killing each other over street corners.

surrounding himself with great people? you mean maoists, devout communists and marxist?

your defininition of "great" differs vastly from mine, I have to say..

Great people ?.
The first time in the US history a president left the precedent defence secretary and his name is the Bush picked Robert Gates.....also the neo cons are still controlling the political agenda .
Great people ?.

that article didn't say anywhere that he had to move to China

I think it prolly had more to do with his estrangement from his family name than anything else

Didnt billy carter get his own beer?? or something

I'm quoting:

yeah it didn't say he had to.

It just said he did move

can u prove this?

Dude. Just read.

there have been a few stories recently.

One of them was about a high level person at a graduation ceremony quoting Mao and Mother Theresa in the same speech...lol

I don't remember exactly who she was....but I was flabbergasted.

I haven't been able to find it in the local newspaper, but it's been on our local stations, late this afternoon.

Dallas has the Trinity Bridge project going right now, to turn the Trinity River into a fancy greenbelt. Come to find out the company (Italian) which is doing the project is having Italian people brought in on business visas to do the construction work.

They're using the wrong visa to do it, (supposedly no one can be brought in on a construction visa) the work is shoddy (welding has been X-rayed) and that's American men and women who aren't working. Should prove to be interesting over the next couple of days.

The state dept, TXDot, Dallas are all pointing fingers at each other, of course.

That's pretty much every politician out there. I don't know why people are surprised that he made promises that he can't keep.

What does that say for all the people that vote for things they know won't come true? Or do they believe that this time, maybe, this time it's going to change? Of course it doesn't but there is always next time.

Last time I checked there is a Democrat in the white house. A huge democratic majority in the House, and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. And you say the Neo Cons are controlling the agenda..

Well.... either you are making excuses for a pathetic democrat leadership or you are making the case for a pathetic democrat leadership. Either way... pathetic about sums it up.

I don't even know why anyone thinks it would be an imposition or hardship of any kind to go overseas for a job. I did it, and my job was in the Caribbean. My father just paid a heck of a lot of money to go to China, just because he wanted to. Some people REALLY like the place.
As far as him leaving the US, probably because he has had too many death threats. Doubt they would publicize that. Obamadolf is already so hated by so many, seems they are trying really hard to put up some front like he still has the support of the majority. Reading through these threads you can see that there are usually many more posters against obamadolf than for, but those who are for get "louder" and more vicious all the time, as if one voice can drownd out the thoughts and feelings of 100.
