U.S. congressmen fail to use their power as elected officials to stem job loss in the country--does than mean we are forbidden to consider one of them as a future U.S. President? Certain states in USA are outsourcing more American jobs than others so according to your logic, we should not ever consider one of the Governors of those states for office of Presidency? It's ridiculous to paint an entire large group of people as ineligible to run for President simply because of their occupation. So, now we can include lawyers as unqualified for Chief Exec position along with foreign born & convicted felons. That's silly and would in effect disqualify a man who is exactly the right type of American to set this country back on track, so it will once again work for all of us--not just a tiny % of very wealthy Americans. You must have missed the avg American worker who testified for Senate committee on Friday about his job being outsourced. He had same job for 35yrs and was describing how co officials gathered everyone together one day to announce all the jobs were moving to China. He delivered his testimony in very cool, calm manner until he reached the following sentence..."I have one daughter in college, 2 more to follow--how will I now pay their tuition?"...with that there was a catch in his throat, he struggled to continue, tears welled up in his eyes & everyone waited patiently while he regained his composure to finish his statement. That's the fine quality avg American worker who has been thrown to the wolves in order to allow American corps to exploit dirt cheap labor in 3rd world. All Americans should be fighting for that man's right to work & raise his family with dignity.
