"Pookietooth" implies that George Bush Sr. was to blame for the recession of the early 90's, and now, 10 years later, his son is at fault for the current state of our economy. My response: first, a quick note about the early 90's: by the time Clinton was elected in '92, the economy had already turned the corner and pulled out of the recession, with growth in 2 consecutive quarters in the final year of Bush's term. Clinton stepped in as things were already getting much better, and got all the credit for it, even though most economists will tell you that under most circumstances, the president himself has VERY LITTLE CONTROL AND INFLUENCE over the economy at any given time. And blaming George W. for the economic slump we're in now is ridiculous! Do you remember when our current recession started? Try the spring of 2000, when Clinton was still in office. The stock market went way down in April of 2000 and things were getting pretty bad by the end of that year, when Bush had not yet taken office. So while I question the notion of blaming presidents for a poor economy, or giving them too much credit for a strong economy, if you are going to do so, at least get your facts straight. |

Once they started counting the ballots and there was a slim chance that Gore would win the calls for interviews start coming in. As soon as, they announced official that he had the office the calls stopped. In April, when the visas ran out they started calling again --- then he went and added 80,000 more visas --- As you can guess the calls STOPPED.
Keep you chin up something will come up. Try looking at temporary positions just to get your foot in the door.
