i work in the IT community and we always have 1000's of job openings across the country.The skills we need just are not out there. Education is the key. I quit my job during this recession and had another job with higher pay in less than a month.
Where can you apply for these job? Where are they advertised? I know people looking for work.
At&t are always hiring iam always seeing help wanted signs
President Obama is dumb like a fox. President Obama got his message out and tried to debate Romney who wasn't interested in a debate, but was more interested in getting his talking points out. So, the president used the first debate to get Romney to show his cards and the tricks Romney will use to debate. Now the president knows how to debate this joker and what combacks and talking points to use at the next debate. Romney has no idea who he is debating.
That is hilarious !! Thanks for the huge laugh !!!!
Right: Black man can not attack white man on tv and not not look angry and other.
Movie: 2016 makes Obama look communist and anti american. churches pushing
this crap. Assasins ready to pounce on Our President and deny every good fact.
The sailor post is hilarious. Thanks for the huge laugh !!
Please do not results into insult it just show hate and has no meaning. It is not necessary to call the president of the United States dumb. Your remarks only projects your stupidity.
As a mother (and therefore a woman), I have become increasingly weary of people such as Hilary Rosen and Sandra Fluke assuming that they speak on my behalf. Hilary Rosen's comments this morning only served to reinforce my feelings when she said that mothers don't live in an economic bubble and are just as worried about thier reproductive rights as anything else. I can assure Hilary that when I go to pick my children up from school everyday and I speak with other mothers, the main topics of conversation are concern about the price of gas and if we will be able to afford to transport our kids to and from school everyday as well as how high the price of groceries are and how difficult it is becoming to provide our children with nutritious food. Never once have concern about reproductive issues been broached as a topic of conversation, and these women fall on both sides of the political spetrum. Perhaps Hilary doesn't isn't as in touch as she thinks she is.
Thank you,alw72 ! Well said ! Go team Romney!
I agree you are right alw72!
I trust Our President to portect the Constitutional Rights of My daughter and Spouse.
No way can I trust the flip flop pro abortion Bishop Romney. Mystery Meat.
To alw 72. Having been a Mom of small children who are now grown my world back then was like yours, a small world. The rest of the world has other agendas besides seeing that dinner is ready on time, the baths are taken and the homework is done. They don't have a husband providing them the time off to raise the kids and another mouth to feed would be disastrous for their family. They do need to have contraception because if there is no contraception there will then be an abortion. What would you do if you got up one morning and there was no car and and no driveway for one anyway and very little left in the cupboards. This is the world that many women in America face each and every day. That is shameful in the richest country in the world. We can't afford to take care of our own because we are too poor? You can't have it both ways. Either we are the richest country in the world or we are sinking down to a 3rd world nation status. It is not we are too poor. It is because we are too selfish.
You must be in the 1% of women
Alw72, the comment above "You must be in the 1% of women" was for your earlier post about reproductive rights.
Well congress Republicans wont pass farm bill and most republicans like the Bush family own the gas so talk to the republicans about your crisis and as far as the reproductive system thank God there was plan parenthood my daughter at 18 was taken off our insurance and they found cancer cells that needed to be taken care of right away it was almost full blown cancer but they caught it if there wasnt plan parenthood she probly wouldnt have went and been checked because of no insurance and shed probly be dead now and since you have young children they do grow up and anything can change and i hope it will be there if you ever or your children ever need it .Its more important then you think
You are talking Jobs &the Economy - PLEASE PLEASE bring the jobs back to the US instead of the large corporations like AT & T, and others who employ people overseas. I have placed two service calls and I always ask where they are from - guess what they live in places such as Malaysia, India, and the Philippines. BRING THESE JOBS BACK TO THE US and guess what? We will not have a jobs problem except for those people who really don't want to work.
GOP congress cut incentives for wind and solar causing massive layoff in USA
in past 12 months. Did you see Need to Know..story there on yes PBS.
Can you say SOLYNDRA?
Watch Need to Know this past week end on PBS. Sure we know what happened to that company. Do you know what the GOP did to the jobs of our brothers and sisters
fueling the recession. Whose side are they on? Or whose side are you on.
In Free Markets there are successes and failures. Nice to see we were in the game
with Obama, but these job killing acts by the GOP nor economic patriotism.
They should go back to DC today and pass the Farm Bill and the American Jobs
ACT. That is loving your country. being on our side. Not the GOP way.
To the Rev
Please look up ALEC. Just google it and then educate your flock. This what is going wrong with America. We have corporations controlling and buying our state legislatures. They want rid of the pesky unions that make them provide a decent wage and a safe working place. The want the EPA done away with so they are free to pollute the air we and our children breathe. They want to change voting laws to block some Americans from voting. They produce all the "model" legislation for our so called Legislature to introduce. Our Legislatures have become nothing more than servants to the rich corporations. We have elected yes men and women. When polls are taken the citizens do not want these laws and yet they keep getting introduced. In my state I can get drunk and carry a loaded gun into a bar. I just can't drink anymore. Is that supposed to make me safe?????? All that is compliments of ALEC

I watched the show this morning and one of the things that bug me about the GOP is they sure like to interrupt people when they are speaking. They hardly would give Mr. Gibbs a moment to speek to make his comments. I know every one thinks the president did bad in the debate but I still trust him to run this country. The GOP has caused a lot of what is happening in our country right now. President Bush made the mess and the members in congress are holding workers hostage by not bringing the jobs bill tothe floor. WHY so the can prove the president isn't keeping his word to people back to work. I hope Mr. Gregory will talk to the president in the days and weeks to come to get his perspectove on the debate and congress.
Gibbs like Our President is steady and focused. There is the choice radicals
who are unstable vs. descent and honest folk who are doing the peoples business.
Obama/Biden are the team I trust 100%.
The liberal moderator lost control of the discussion.
I do not find him to be liberal. No one I know does. However attacking the
rich corporate GOP press is just another tactic to fool the public. Poor victims
the radical, crazy GOP; the folk who do not believe in Math, evolution, climate change or macro economics. Shameful attack on America. I think this GOP is other than
American...Jack Walsh type,.. Trump type..Romney Type... Koch type.
I work these boys do not. Never ever did. They do not know American workers
men, women, young and old. Most of us will only have social security and medicare when we are old. I see 80 year old men and women handing out carts at wall mart
this is the Republican Walton America I live in.
Newt is WRONG.... there are MANY of small business owners who are literally PRAYING for President Obama to have 4 more years.... Newt is out of touch... he does NOT speak for me or many of my colleagues.
I had coffee with one this week. GOP man who is voting for Obama, can not risk
anything that would spoil any kind of growth.
Newt is WRONG... I along with MANY of my colleagues are very hopeful that President Obama WILL be reelected and continue moving forward with the policies in place that are good for our country... INCLUDING the Affordable Care Act... I reject Newt assuming he can speak for small businesses... when's the last time he was even at a small business facility or communicated with the owner? HE is out of touch for sure.
Newt is wrong. I own a small business and I don't agree with him. He too, like Romney is out of it!
Bottom line America - Whoever is elected - changes will occur and we will have to abide by them. Let's just pray that God Bless America!
God blesses American when we live for fainess and equity for all. Justice is the will of God that everyone has 'enough'. I am confident that the GOP is hell bent on
dismembering social security, medicare, medicaid and health care reform and raising taking tax saving deductions from working americans. It is shameful that some
folk are attacking our commander in chief as 'communist' and anti ameican.
This is in my view a partnership with pur EVIL
No one cares what Arnold thinks. In this time of impending presidential election, please have reputable speakers. Meet the Press should not be a forum for hawking one's book.
Shame on "Meet the Press" to have Arnold on. An insult to your viewers.
Meet The Press has drifted off into the intended Right wing propaganda box a trap set up over 30 years ago to smear anything they did not agree with.
What are you people in the so called national press thinking by playing only on their terms and by their rules ALA the 1st presidential debate where a republican candidate just runs roughshod over the moderator with impunity???
Look I'm 72 years old and a veteran, This is not my 1st look at this crap, And I want to hear a discussion beyond a lot of right wing talking points no matter how strongly the are presented or by who.... Limbaugh and that crowd have the corporate money to lie their way to anything and is the JOB of the national press to speak TRUTH to that advantage.
Bill O'Reilly of all people is calling them assasins knowingly telling lies to hit the triggers of the audience to make lots and lots of money. Liberal and Conservative shows.
Example Chris Mathews off the hook, channeling a presumed Obama supporter
outrage. Jon Steward did the same. I did not feel upset until I heard them, disloyal
and irrational. Obama is steady and substancial person. Must avoid be Rev. Right
and Angry Black Man. Obama can not attack a White man on TV it will be
unbcoming in our culture. We are still trying to accept he is human not animal.
Some are trying! Race is the empty chair. God bless his endeavor.
Why help this abusive male opportunity to make more money.
It amazes me that people talk about Pr4esident Obama's negative campaign and attacks on Romney. Romney ran on his experience as a businessman and as a former governor. Therefor, his performance there is fair game.
If you want to talk about negative what about the birthers..those who say he is Muslimn, anti American,,,the attacks on his mother.. his family. Rarely do they attack his economic policies which have been in response to the terrible Bush economics before him. Hopefully people have learned that you cannot expect a President to change anything unless you give him a congress that is open to change and their constituents rather than self protection,, of their benefits.
If people vote for Romney and he wins they deserve what they get. Especially the middle class. The GOP is attempting to recreate the Aristocracy that drove our Founding Fathers to these shores and caused them to create a constituion that would "provide for the general welfare to ourselves and to our posterity".
They did not learn with Bush. They did not learn with Reagan. They did not learn
with Nixon. They just blame the rest of us. They do not know they are suffering.
I know I am suffering. I am fighting for my interest as a worker and father of four
working americans..Bishop Romney is a mortal threat to my family and my country.
Not on the fence at all. Obama Biden I am Iron Clad. Romney is Mystery Meat. No thanks. Obama is Filet!
I am with you Reverend. You are a wise man. The problem is, if something is repeated often enough, some people will believe it. A couple of months ago, I was standing next to an elderly woman in a wheelchair in a department store, and she was complaining about prices. We started a conversation and she said that the President was a moslem. I laughed and reassured her that this is false. All these lies are extremely dangerous and evil.
It is 11:15 and the show is still on. I can't even watch this stupid program anymore. They quote the Wall street Journal Poll all the time. The Wall Street Journal owned by the disgraced Rupert Murdoch the same RM that owns Faux News. How about quoting the polls of Massachusetts. When we apply for a job we always have to give references of people we have worked for as well as personal references. In Massachusetts Romney is losing by 18 to 28 percentage points. What does that say about a candidate that can't carry his own state with people that have experience with him? When he left office his favorability was in the 35% range. Please don't say it is because MA is a blue state or a liberal state. They had 2 Republican Governors right before him. He is just bad news. This is the typical lipstick on a pig argument. IT'S STILL A PIG. Wake up!!!!
Don't boo vote. I am 60. Last week I went to see the evil movie 2016.
It got me so upset I went to the little known House Candidate and drove signs
all over town. I am fired up for Democrats to take care of Peoples business.
Our President works hard every single day for us. This is an honest fact. Bishop Romney
will not fight for me. He will fight for Jack Walsh. The Koch Brothers. D. Trump.
the boy from Vegas. Obama needs us now to fight for us or the 1% win by marketing
a pig with lipstick. I want a President that stands for fainess and equity for all enough for
all. Bishop Romney talks the talk sometimes but will not deliver. No way no how.
Re: air date 10/07/12: Get rid of David Gregory, It's like he is
interviewing for a job with FOX News. Give him that job (most of us
don't watch hate TV anyway) and replace him with someone that's
objective and willing to give us the facts. Contrary to what he
believes, this is not the David Gregory Show! It use to be a news
round table that allowed political parties/groups an opportunity to
present facts, so that viewers can make an educated decision about
Political, Economic and Social issues. Now, it is more like another
reality show...Meet the GOP.
I recognized the two Democrats at the table but, there is not a
fair distribution of time for them to speak and they are out-numbered
by Republicans. As always the GOP uses their overbearing bully
tactics to controls things. Having David as the "HOST" will
keep the conversation to the Right! Please get rid of him!
LOL. You guys control the media and when someone does try to be balanced "you can't handle the truth!!!"
Well you definitely have Fox News and Meet the Press on your
side. It's hard to LOL when people are hurting in this country. What
the Heck, I'm sure you don't get it! David can't say the words
balance and truth without that dumb smile, whatever! Bird of a
feather... This is class warfare!
Mark my words, this is not a country that can afford to reinforce
poverty. You will figure it out when crime increases and more people
start climbing in your window at night or car-jacking your family
just to balance the situation. Although, I don't wish that on anyone,
nor do I endorse crime but, history has a way of repeating. It helps
to be a realist, you see the situation as it is.
Today’s round table was more like a discussion about a
football game.
Bishop Romney is really promising to fire 'big bird'. Likes firing workers. He will fire Jim L.
threatening the most trust institution in USA/PBS. Bishop Romney is not on the side
of the America I love and want.
this is great!! The libs, Gregory, Rosen, Gibbs and Todd are going crazy this morning. They are fumbling over themselves to explain the economy and the presidents performance at the debate. Todd went on to say "wait a minute, we are hurting the country with the criticism of the government". Where were you Todd when Bush was in office? Your support of Obama drips out of the sides of your mouth. Your guy is in trouble and it scares you to death. Obama is in deep trouble and they know it.
Tell the truth...a flip flopper, a chameleon, an Etch a Sketcher all equals to romney is a flat out liar. He simply doesn't tell the truth. Call it what is and stop trying to soften his behavior. To all romney's followers: what if your kids or parents tell you one thing and then lie about it; how would you feel?
So true. Not a good role model is he now! And some people want to elect him!
This would be our worst nightmare.
PBS = NBC=CBS=ABC=MSNBC=Democratic National Committee

"i will close guantanomo"
"i will decrease unemployment in the first 2 years of my presidency"
Who is telling lies?
when given an opportunity to articulate their side, the conservatives won the debate this week. Obama is the big loser!!! The race is over America, we get a new man come next January, thank God, there is still time to save this country from socialism.
All of you people that are commenting are as thinned skinned as Obuma!!
Guess what NBC producers, I switched the channel this morning and I am watch the NFL pre-game show over on CBS. I refuse to listen to the garbage and trash talk of criminal call newt. Is this the best you can do? Then the womanizing turd Terminator, pitching a book that he hired a ghost writer to create. WHAT TOTAL GARBAGE.

Re: Election 2012 – I-Member,
History, and Pol/Sci Studies Member
Mitt will promise anything. He never shares his plan unless there
is big money in the room, his plan is to cater to that crowd. Next,
when speaking to the middle class Americans, he will tap dance to any
song and deliver nothing but a tax increase. Finally, The lower
working class Americans should beware because this man would see fit
to segregate this country even more than what is, just to shut down
your voice.
During Katrina, Bush put lower income families in Tin Can
Trailers, I'm sure Mitt will do worst. After-all, he's running for
office without a plan. He and the Tea party members believes that the
lower income families don't care, that most are stupid, lazy, and
just want to collect Food Stamps & medicaid. This is a fact that
Mitt has openly stated in his public speeches. Show him that he is
wrong! Remember to Vote for Obama in November and send Mitt home!
