Why didn’t the liberal puke give her a job himself? She could clean his house or babysit the kids.

Undoubtedly, he has had people doing all you suggest for years. Unless you want him to fire the hard-working people he now employs?

I think the woman at the SOTU speech was the black lady that Kim Kardashian championed when she went to the White House last spring.

I remember President Ronald Reagan used to call companies on behalf of job seekers too.

That's the exact right answer to "what would Jesus do?"

We need more like you and less like the posts that followed yours. (I point the finger at myself also as needing to respond more like you did ...)

I want the liberal dogooders to have to live with the cons they want released from prison.

It is too easy for them because they will never have to see them again.

This particular woman is probably as safe as excons get, but your larger point indeed is very valid.

He could call his buddy George Soros. George has plenty of jobs available.
