I guess when you're one of the first big companies to get a waiver from Herr Obama, you can hire more burger flippers.

If they hire 50,000 in one day, I predict that in 90 days 45,000 will have quit or been fired.

So McDonalds is hiring employees as Michelle goes around the country telling Americans McDonalds hurts children.

No hyrocrisy there.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought I heard they were hiring so many people b/c they wanted to move the majority of workers to part time instead of full time so they didn’t have to give a majority full time benefits.

YOU MUST BE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN to qualify for a Mc Donald’s job.

If McDonalds is getting a "waiver", that means they are in obama's pocket...

If they are in obama's pocket, then they don't need any of our money...

Therefore, I call for an intense, nationwide boycott until obamacare is defeated.

50,000 new employees divided by 13,000 restaurants is equal to 3.84 new hires per restaurant or about one per shift.

And this is covered by the same media that demonized the new jobs under Republican presidents as burger-flipping jobs that nobody wanted.

All the while Mrs. Zero demonizes fast food.

Does this mean that there will be a new set of 50,000 Obama voters spitting on my hamburgs?

How many of the new employees will be illegal aliens?

I’m thinking the way to get hired is to have your own health insurance.

They could hire 4 times that many if they got rid of their illegals. The quality of their food is exceeded only by the English ability of their staff.

Well, isn't that special? Not having to comply with ObamaCare mandates allows McDonald's to create jobs. No doubt Obama and Biden will claim credit for the job creation.

I thought it was Bush who was creating McJobs. Obama was going to create real jobs!

The rare times I go to McDonalds I have to deal with staff that don't have English as their first language.

It almost never fails that when I specficify "un-sweet" tea for the drink, the worker starts to fill the cup with sweetened tea.

I don't get it... I have to correct them almost every time. They then have to dump out the wrong tea and re-fill.

Ray Kroc, fix it please.

They put it a different way, but the results are the same:

“you must speak the ‘language of the kitchen’”

Greenspan slams up and coming generation

By Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller 3:16 PM 04/17/2011

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is either giving the viewing public a cranky old man performance, or the once highly regarded sage of economic matters and disciple of Ayn Rand really sees some structural problems in the overall economy of the United States.

On Sunday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Greenspan explained how the American economy will be transitioning from a “highly skilled, highly educated” workforce to an inferior one.

“As I watch what’s going on, we have to remember that over the next 10 years, we’re going to find that the baby boom generation – highly skilled, highly educated – is going to fade from the scene,” Greenspan said. “It’s going to be replaced by a generation who are now in school and creating grades which don’t make us look very good in the international spectrum.”

And when that happens Greenspan explained, that generation won’t be able to grow an economy at a pace needed to fund the entitlement programs which we have in place.

“This means we are probably dealing with an economy which isn’t growing fast enough or creating much real resources to fund the entitlement programs that we have already made,” Greenspan continued. “I consider the issue of cutting back spending as essentially which is something which is new. I don’t think we could afford it in the first place. So we’re merely canceling something which didn’t exist.”
