check out this Wash Post story....
Blaming China??? Thought he was the President who ushered in the era of Personal Responsibility, at least, that's what he said today in Ohio.

1. Shrub's best productivity was in producing a stool sample
for his physical last month.

"Bush was accompanied by Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao, who said in a telephone interview that she is very encouraged about the jobs picture and is focused on recruiting and training workers for sectors that are growing, including health care, financial services, skilled trades and retail services. "We want workers to know they are not alone and training and other assistance are immediately available," Chao said."

"Health care" i.e. nurses and nurses aides (someone has to take care of everyone made more ill by abbreviated health coverages)
"Financial services" i.e. bank tellers and other paper handlers (most of the middle management jobs went away with deregulation)
"Skilled trades" i.e. my civil engineer uncle will have to go back to doing survey work,
"Retail services" i.e. "You look great in horizontal stripes, Mrs. Broadass." or "Would you like to super-size that, sir?"

2. China didn't join the BCF oil raid in Iraq
So he is blaming them for every little thing he can think of. Nevermind the fact that US firms would rather use Chinese labor because they work for 15 cents an hour. Just listen to what George has to tell you without giving it any thought.
