Guest Pundit: The Truth Presidents Can't Tell

At times, others are wise too
=====================

Over the period of the debates, plenty of pundits played the “What Bush Should Say” game. Myself was tempted to do same but Bush would never use my awful language.

I have chosen one such pundit commentary, Neil Boortz’ proposed response by Bush to the question of how he would respond to a citizen who had just recently lost his job to one overseas.

I don’t think the Wise I could have composed a better response even with all the words in the universe and a few slang ones at my disposal. But I would not have bothered in that no way, Jose, could Bush EVER give such a response. Not even JFK could give such a response should darkness fall and he gets elected. Edwards is a trial lawyer and another story.

Presidents can’t say the things as Boortz as phrased it below! Although it is, every single letter, syllable and word the complete truth.

We’ve left it to our commentators and punditry to utter such as truths while the President must play some grand diplomatic game that considers a leader telling the citizenry a harsh truth as uncouth as if he would address his country while completely nude.

So to the historical end of permanent documentation for such as Grandchildren, the TRUTHFUL answer to the jobs questions is as follows:
* * * QUOTE * * *

"First of all, Bob, I would tell them that it is not their job. The job belongs to the employer, not the employee. You have the job skills. The employer has the jobs. If the employer can make a profit by purchasing your job skills to perform his job then you get a paycheck. If your job skills cost the employer too much, or if your job skills don't meet the employer's needs, then you don't get a paycheck. If you fail to develop your job skills, you run the risk of not having a paycheck. If your job skills don't match the employer's needs, you don't get a paycheck. If you charge too much for your job skills, you won't get hired.

“You have no right to a job. You do have a right to be left alone by government and your fellow citizens to develop your own God-given talents in such a way that employers will seek you out. You also have a right to ignore educational opportunities and to develop a slovenly work ethic so that employers will shun you. You make your choices, and you live with the consequences of your decisions. I would tell that person that any American with desirable job skills and a good worth ethic, properly priced, would have to hide under his bed to avoid getting a good job.

“If you believe in the year 2004 that you can build a sound career as a textile plant worker in South Carolina then you are living a lie, and that delusion will soon catch up to you. You need to understand that you are a free and sovereign individual. You don't belong to the government, and it's not the government's responsibility to provide you with a job. It's the government's job to clear the way for you to exercise your free choices, develop your skills, hone your work ethic, and contract with an employer eager to hire someone like you. Past that, you're on your own, and that's life in a free society."
