And One More Thing, Dumbya

The point at which I could no longer take watching the debate last night:

Mr. President, what do you say to someone in this country who has lost his job to someone overseas who's being paid a fraction of what that job paid here in the United States?

BUSH: I'd say, Bob, I've got policies to continue to grow our economy and create the jobs of the 21st century. And here's some help for you to go get an education. Here's some help for you to go to a community college.

We've expanded trade adjustment assistance. We want to help pay for you to gain the skills necessary to fill the jobs of the 21st century.

"Here's some help for you to go get an education?" Fuck you and the Daddy-horse you rode in on, Dumbya. I know people who have lost there jobs to outsourcing including the very awesome Jerry S. You're telling me, Mr. President, that he just needs to get off his 20th century ass and move into the 21st century? I'd love to see him say that to Jerry's face.

Yeah, what he deserves after 30+ years of working his ass off is to be told that he just needs to get with the 21st century.

Look, I don't pretend to know what the best solution is to outsourcing, globalization, etc... but I also know that it's practically impossible for someone over 50 to find a new job at all, let alone in another field. There has to be a way to protect American workers while moving forward. But we'll never get there with a President who doesn't see a problem w/giving GIGANTIC TAX BREAKS to companies who go overseas.
