McShame going on about the American worker being the most
productive and innovative in the world.

Well, yeah, right, then why aren't they paid decently with a livable wage and benefits that won't disappear with a consolidation or buyoyt or failure?

1. The real question
is if he thinks so highly of the American Worker, then why is he so willing to see their jobs shipped off to Chinese, Indian, and Mexican workers?

2. Here's why:
Because they're so productive and innovative that they don't need a lot of money to figure out how to live well!

:sarcasm:<--Just in case!

4. Productive = Overworked.
And the least amount of vacation in the industrialized world.

6. It ia bait, The American worker is not the most productive in the world but it is political
suicide to point that out.

I forget the exact equation, but it is something about the GDP divided by hours worked.... sr something like that. Anyways, I think we rank about 6th according to our own government's numbers.


Obama is not smart to take that bait and to spin it to mcCain's voting record on the economy.

7. Huh...according to McSame, I'm a "fundamental" of the economy.
How about that. It takes millions and millions of dollars and one comment to insult the entire class of working Americans who vote for a candidate for the presidency.

And that makes John McSame--let me spell it out for John--D-U-M-B
