Omaha Steve (1000+ posts) Wed Nov-05-08 03:45 PM Original message Dear President Elect Obama, my application for employment in your administration Advertisements [?] Dear Senator Obama,
For the last several years American workers have suffered under the current administrations polices and appointees. I would like to apply for a job that is first and foremost for fairness of the American worker. I am asking to be your Secretary of Labor. I am much more qualified than Elaine Chao ever could be.
Twice in my life I have been fired illegally. Twice a union has won my rights through legal action. I know what it means to be the head of a family without a job during bad times. I know bankruptcy as a result of these actions too. I have also had two on the job accidents that resulted in two different partial impairments.
I have some unique qualifications that will provide for fairness to workers and employers on a case by case basis. Since you don't know much about me, just ask my 100,000 plus friends at the Democratic Underground for their opinion. They have been reading my labor opinions for over four years.
Regards,
Steven L Dawes Shop Steward AFSCME Local 251.

I sent the letter on to several friends in D.C. It has already grabbed some attention.
OS
Why not? Thay have as much experience as he does.
what position did he apply for wealth confiscator or wealth re distributor
I’ve got guys like this in my shop. You could appoint them Generalissimo of Lugnut Recovery in a tire shop and not have a single lugnut recovered in 100 years.
I would be banned if I posted what I am thinking.
But he sure has logged a lot of hours on DU! That must count for something...
ROFL!!!
And he could retire on a nice cushy pension and get permanent health benefits forever, too. You’re a nice guy... are you hiring?
A DU’er get a job? ROFL!
my mother always told me: Picture in your mind a person of average intelligence, now never forget that half the world is dumber than that.
Sounds like a damn communist out of “We The Living” by Rand. You have to prove your social standing when applying for a job. Be a member of the Party or a Union. Come from a poor or peasant background.
I'll bet!
I think we deserve a week long free pass to post what we truly feel : )
Hand, Humm, or Blow?
/runs for cover...
LOL! Fat chance he has.
The political elites’ reaction to Sarah Palin is EXACTLY what they think of the working class. Their contempt for her is their contempt for the working class.
