I've been out of touch and just heard a snip about something Obama signed for

[gateley]

Veterans? An Executive Order to aid them in finding jobs? Does anybody know about that? I thought I'd see it plastered all over DU but didn't see anything at a glance.

Thanks!

1. He did yesterday

Helping in job searches, tax breaks and education...short and skinny

He is dribbling these things about once a week, running against the do-nothing congress.

12. Thank you all, and wow! This is GREAT news! I haven't heard

the Republicans whisper the words veterans/jobs.

I'm so sorry this wasn't BIG new, but the important thing is that steps are being taken to help these men and women who have given so much and are having such a tough time of it right now. :(

This probably would have been bigger news if it hadn't been eclipsed by the sensational stories that were breaking yesterday.

[gateley]

17. Thanks so much -- I've been buried in work and can only do

drive-bys to DU (my premier news source :7).

Yeah, sensational = ratings so that always trumps. Wish there would have been an Official Statement (w/O appearing on during prime-time news, walking up to the podium, here's what I just did and why, details details details, thank you and God Bless America) so at least more people would have been aware.

I don't know WHY he hasn't hired me as an adviser yet :shrug:

18. You won't hear about all his actions on teh nooz

He's doing everything within his power to help people... but you won't hear about it. Not even here, now that we have the Roving Rovian unReccing Crew.
