I think it's comical that Obama says "...if you'll send me his resume..."!
How about the other 25 million people out of work...care to have a look at theirs too Mr. President?
Better yet...how about just putting them to work...create jobs...decrease spending for a month (so you can cover the payroll for 25 million people)?
Anyone have Obama's fax number...I'm sending my resume too!
She says his job search has been hurt by a program to hire skilled foreign workers.
But the family had newfound hope after Jennifer Wedel participated in a Jan. 30 video chat with the president using the "hangout" feature on Google Plus.
She asked the president why the government issues and extends H-1B visas to foreign workers when highly skilled Americans like her husband can't find full-time work
Obama, who said industry leaders have told him that the U.S. doesn't have enough high-tech engineers to meet its needs, ended up asking for Darin Wedel's résumé.
Shortly after Jennifer Wedel talked with the president, the family was overwhelmed with attention.
But the phone calls lessened, and now they have stopped.
Many calls came from out-of-state companies, as well as companies throughout Texas. But Darin's work choices are limited to North Texas because of a custody agreement for one of his two daughters that prevents him from moving away.

I hate to see everything President Obama says get so blown out of proportion. The fact is, the number of jobs are up in many fields. The economy is showing positive trends, and the President wants to invest in our infrastructure, one of the key components to sustaining our modern superpower. I saw so many positive things in this video, I would have never even thought twice about his comments being out of place. I have a very good feeling everything is about to balance back out. Every generation thinks theirs is going to see our great system crumble, but the point is, America would not have been the most powerful force on earth in recent history if it wasn't doing things right. It's easy to get caught up in media and negative press, but the truth is, we have freedom and privileges few others do. Our leaders know what they are doing, and this ship will be righted before you know it.
