I fully agree with what she's saying, but all slam poetry must come with the obligatory http://videosift.com/video/Anything-can-be-a-slam-poem-if-you-say-it-like-this

I also enjoyed her clearly having picked up little bits of native accents so each word sounded like she was from somewhere else.

I see your clip and raise you this one

"I Could Be a Poet " http://videosift.com/video/I-Could-Be-a-Poet

I'd wager that this lass went to uni in Edinburgh, all I hear is someone who's picked up a Scottish accent

Your not worthless just not needed.

No real jobs have been created in 6 years, just part time temp with out benefits.

The government does not create jobs but sure could create policies ( or cut) to stimulate job growth.

With all the jobs lost to overseas over the last 40 years you better get used to lower standard of living. Better get a real degree, not Woman Studies and other useless degrees such as Hotel management, Art History , African studies, Psychology or Animal Science.

New jobs have been created in the last six years but the economy started at such a low point it has taken a long time to recover. Presidents and politicians, republican or democrat, have only limited control over local, national, and international economies.

In regard to degree majors students just need to have realistic expectations of what each degree prepares them for career and earnings wise. Even though majoring in education does not return the highest income it is still valuable and important that people study it. Similarly all the majors you list are important, but they may not have a great return on investment. However of the majors you listed Animal Science, Psychology, and Hotel Management all easily transition into either real jobs or graduate work that leads to real jobs. You seem to have picked majors at random.

On a more anecdotal note I am seeing more "Hiring" signs in local shops and restaurants than I have in the past five years.

I like how the thumbnail changes from a stern, glum look..

..to a welcoming, happy, outstretched-arms pose when I log in.

Changes the whole vibe/mindset goin' in.

And you would blame Bush? That ship has sailed. Leaders need to lead and Obama and the Dems haven't.

Damn right Democrats are at fault. Then have been in control the first 4 years and did little. This last year with the Republican it been a stalemate.
The unemployment rate is down around 5 but the U6 is up at near 11%. These are the ones who been unemployed so long that they gave up on looking.

I am in love. Brains are so god damn sexy!

Meh. How about you try and answer your own questions.

Would YOU blame Bush?

No? because he's only one person who doesn't have absolute control over congress or the fiscal policies they put forth?

Recently, you've mentioned how K Street lobbyists have their claws in everyone..

Does that include all 301 Republicans currently in Congress?

Or are those people magically exempt from the influence of: millions in campaign donations, gifts/perks, & guaranteed, cushy, post-congressional careers?

If so, would Democrats automatically become immune from corruption if they switched parties?

Omg, one party solution! China was right.
(I'm mean.. except for the dirty Commie thing.)

If we just eliminate Democrats and liberals, everything will be fixed!
*pat pat* You're a genius! little buddy.

As a negative person, I think bob does blame Republicans. At least those that "sell out the core values" etc...

I couldn't get past the first 19 seconds. She is way overacting with all those ridiculous facial expressions.

Unwatchable.
