Manufacturing hambugers ,show true colors !
The story about how bush wants to reclassify service industry jobs as manufacturing jobs as a stunt to make the job #'s look better during a election year, should only prove to the public what measures this pResident will go to in order to be re-elected ! Also I see it as a insult to the American people,to think we are so stupid to not see this for exactly what it is ,an attempt to decieve. I think this should be brought up over and over again thru out the election year. Is this not a very telling action ,and also reflects the honesty or lack of this White House has. The real kicker here is even if you think its just a trivial matter ,the whole idea is so stupid that it makes you feel very insucure about the level of intelligence of this group running our country !

1. Does that mean all McDonalds and Burger Kings
have to have industrial zoning to operate? Will they have comply with stricter EPA standards for manufacturing than the standards used for the service industry. What about their workman's comp rating, when you reclassify these jobs. Manufacturing jobs are considered more dangerous and therefore are charged a higher rate.

2. How 'bout "manufacturing babies?"
Seriously, that would bump up those numbers! Every baby born is "manufactured" by its parents and provides at least *one* job that involves "labor" right? Shouldn't all of those mothers be classified as having a "manufacturing" job? If we really want to get Orwellian, we can then say that the fathers are "job creators!"

If you are a Replicant Party member, this is win-win for your boy Chimpo*----

Bush* is utterly mad! Insane! Okay, we've known that and have seen that for years, but this is ludicrous to the extreme!

It is an insult.

This is being done by a man (for 'man', read 'creature') who claims he'd bring "honor and dignity back to the white house".

Bush* is an abomination, not to forget the usual epithet of being "Preident Apostate*"...
