How come none of the people (or “common folk”) who asked Bush questions or talked to Bush when he was president, became rising stars and instant celebrities, as those who speak to Obama?

That whole scene should have disgusted every hard working American. Of course, most hard working Americans were not disgusted because they didn’t see it; too busy working.

“I have never felt this good except maybe when I got my PlayStation 3 for Christmas”...

...typical “dumb mass” response. Lord help us if the quote was “I have never felt this good except when I attended the ‘84 convention for Reagan”. or ...”when I landed a job after working my way through college”. Never! (I know it’s a kid)

Typically, it’s Big Mac’s, plasma screens and Playstations that make the dumb masses “feel good”. Bread and Circuses. We’re doomed.

You are going to see more of these Oprah-style staged events.

I got blasted earlier today by FR’ers for saying Selma Hayek breast feeding a African baby was a pathetic liberal one-worlder stunt. Designed to make you feel or warm and fuzzy when Obama sends Africa a trillion $$ and imports 5 million African refugees.

Notice that Obama assumes McDonald’s doesn’t provide healthcare coverage. I’m sure they have to - for their full-time employees. And, at age 19, working for McD’s for 4 years isn’t so terrible. He’s still a teen, and he hasn’t finished college yet.

He’s wastin no time spendin every dime
Good bye free-eeedom

Seein’ me and Julio down by the soup line
Seein’ me and Julio down by the soup line

Well ol Barack droned
as he throwed him a bone
for ol Julio twas nothin to sneeze at
and Obama was droll
‘cause he was on a roll
asking us “would you like some fries with that?”

And we’re on our way
I don’t know where we’re goin’
but we’re gonna pay
He’s wastin no time spendin every dime
Good bye free-eeedom
It’s been nice to know ya
Seein’ me and Julio down by the soup line
Seein’ me and Julio down by the soup line

I still want to know why this guy needs major benefits when he’s a college student. I assume McDonald’s is his part time job while in school.

If he hustles, he could make manager at McDonald’s with good benefits, but I guess that would entail too much work. If he’s going to school, then go to school and shut up. You’ll get better benefits when you have a job that uses your education.

I’m sure he’s one of those economically ignorant idiots who think that big companies like McDonald’s have scads of money just sitting around that ought to go to the workers.

One reason I hate liberals is that they generally lack a basic understanding of economics and have a mindless hatred of business. It would be one thing if they kept their thoughts to themselves, but unfortunately, they get in power and we all suffer from their idiot economic policies.

Agreed. It is a starter job or a job that provides income while you are in school. Chimps can flip burgers and drop fries. If there were no proscriptions against using chimps, Heck it would be entertaining.

I worked at TBELL and McD’S while going to college and sure did not consider it a career.

The bottom line is if you hope for more out of your life you are going to be severely disappointed.

You have to WANT more for your life and work towards goals that have meaning to you. Oh, and while you are at it you should take out an insurance policy and pray to God for Strength, direction and guidance and every day give thanks in advance for your success.

When I was there (thankfully a very long time ago) you had to hit management to get health care. It probably is still that way, employee turn over in fast food is extremely high (300% annual or more), there's no reason for them to waste the money of insurance on people until it's been proven they'll be there a while.

The whiners and losers that showed up and asked the messiah for benefits, a house and a car were truly a disgrace to our nation. “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.”(JFK) Julio,who praised the Lord for Obama and pled for more benefits should enlist in the armed forces and become a man.

I didn’t know that. I thought all companies with more than a certain number of employees had to provide an insurance plan to their full-timers. I remember years ago a local fastfood place advertising $6/hour and full benefits including health insurance, but maybe it wasn’t McD’s.

In some states you might have to now. Of course McD’s actually owns very few McDonalds. Most of them are owned by franchise holders, usually a city big enough for more than one store will have more than one franchise holder.

A while ago when unemployment was low the fast food places were having a hard time getting employees in some areas. So they had to start offering better pay and benefits. Times do change, some of them might still be doing it. It’s all very regional.

“You are going to see more of these Oprah-style staged events.”

You mean like this?

“Obama: Caterpillar will rehire if stimulus passes

Feb 11 11:38 AM US/Eastern

“WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says Caterpillar's chief executive has told him the company will rehire some laid-off workers if the stimulus bill passes.

The heavy equipment maker announced more than 22,000 job cuts last month as it scales back production amid the economic slowdown.

During a visit to a transportation construction site just outside Washington in Springfield, Va., on Wednesday, Obama urged Congress to pass the bill.

The House and Senate are working out differences between competing versions of the legislation.

Obama said Caterpillar's CEO has told him that if the stimulus bill passes he would be able to rehire some of those employees.

Obama is to speak with some of those workers on Thursday when he visits a Caterpillar manufacturing plant in Peoria, Ill.”

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D969FVVO2&show_article=1

I wonder what kind of “offer he couldn't refuse” Lucabama made this CEO in exchange for that soundbite? Can it get any more predictable?

Rolling up the old sleeves and getting down in the dirt with the “workingman” way out in rural Springfield, VA? Hardly. The perpetual construction zone that is Springfield is to DC what Oak Park is to Chicago. What a farce.

Please just tell me he did not drive himself onto the jobsite in a Dodge Ram pickup wearing a pair of spiffy new Timberlands, Levi's, a Carhart jacket, hardhat and Mulehide work gloves, carryging his lunchbox and Stanley thermos. Please?

I know a lot of people around here that would LOVE to have a job paying minimum wage and with benefits like McDonald’s has.

I’m talking about people that are heads of families.

Anybody notice he said his minimum wage job paid him $7.85 an hour. He was grateful to be getting even a 1-day job calling a ballgame for $25

Seeing as a ballgame runs about 3 hours, he’ll make $8.33 an hour.

Yup. Obama’s a magician.

Many companies do provide them, but there is no requirement for them to do so.

There are people I know personally that would work for free if they could just get the benefits.

OK: 1) Big Macs are tasty. 2) Big Screen TV's are nice and 3) Playstations are fun.

Of course, I bought all these things with CASH when I had a job (which I've still managed to keep). I think the problem isn't the Big Macs, Big Screens and PS/3s, but the fact that some people see these things as entitlements.

Nothing wrong with us admiring a piece of fluff-brained eye candy, any more than the the women can't admire a hunk of beef jerky, but they don't have to drool all over my screen.

It gets annoying to have to plow past them all to find and read the meaningful posts.
