First of all, I am a Democrat and I supported and voted for Barack Obama in the last election. I still, for the most part, support him. I think he has some good ideas, and represents an enlightened change from the past eight years, and the policies and politics that got us into the real mess that we now find ourselves in, even though he hasn’t figured out how to fix the economy and the job situation, and partly as a result, I’m still unemployed. That said, I have to question, along with a lot of others on both sides of the political aisle, what has he really done at this point, and especially less than 2 full weeks into his presidency when he was actually nominated, to earn a Noble Peace Prize?
He had and still has some enlightened ideas. He is a gifted speaker, politician and, I guess, diplomat, but today, after almost 10 months in office, his list of tangible accomplishments are few. There is a lot of hope and potential, though, which is good and important.
So, why not give me the same chance? Sure, I’ve never run a major corporation. I’ve never been a Senior Officer responsible for some major innovation, product or project. I’m not a technical guru on the level of Bill Gates or even some talented high school students. I do have some good ideas, though, and of course, like Barack Obama, the potential to do great things. I know that if I am given a Nobel…..I mean a job, I have the drive and energy and potential to make the world, or the company, proud!
But, alas, it doesn’t always seem to work that way. There is no on-the-job-training on the job to get hired, and there is no hiring anymore for potential, especially when today there are 6.3 people competing for each open and available job.
For what it’s worth, however, if anybody is reading this and interested, I am ready, willing and able, with a ton of potential!
