Road project laborer good job for Obama

There was nothing in the president’s speech to encourage or help small business owners ... they were not promised any relief from the stagnant job market they face. Those suffering from unemployment were only offered work on roads and bridges. The skills of many will be wasted and those employers who desperately need help to keep themselves above- water are once again ignored.

The president has a one-track mind and mistakenly feels that his will is best for the thousands who wish to ply their trade and use their learned skills. We have sent our young people to college to be denied their dreams of success?

Let’s make it the duty of the president to join the building of our next bridge or not get paid. Would we be so cruel?
