How many US presidents would qualify to teach in Korea? Bush was arrested for DUI and disorderly conduct at a football game. Both Obama and Clinton used illegal drugs when younger. |

| For what it's worth, he's not really eligible to be president either. Wait, not eligible, but not fit to be a president. The guy is truly an awful, awful person, his pick of Ryan just goes to show how much he hates poor people. |

Not an awful person. He just belongs to a political party that has become an awful awful party. |

I don't think Obama or Clinton were ever arrested though, so they would presumably be OK as long as they lied on their self medical report. On the other hand, I would love to hear what the recruiters and hagwon directors would say when they received those resumes. I imagine both would be passed up in favor of a blonde female in her early 20s. |

His pick of Ryan shows he hates your country going bankrupt, he hates high unemployment, and he hates the Greece style of instability that is coming to the good old U S of A.
How many African and South American countries in the past spent more money than they had and just started printing ridiculous amounts of money? How many of these countries went broke and how many of these people in these countries were and still are truly poor now? I'm talking living in slums, cardboard, no running water, raw sewage everywhere. How many of these countries had such chaos after their economies crashed, their money became worthless, and people had no food to eat? How many of these countries had to have the military step in to create calm and order, all the while setting up a nice dictatorship for themselves?
Many of these countries had democracy and guess what? The politicians wanted to get their greedy a$$e$ elected so they promised money they didn't have and to spend whatever it took to get elected or re-elected. They teamed up with special interest groups, labor bosses, lobbyists, ect.
See history repeating itself? Is America next? What baffles the mind is that American is suppose to be a "Mature" democracy, but instead the last 10 years under both Bush and Obama has resorted to playing 3rd world politics.
Get your debt under control. Too many stupid politicians writing too many stupid laws and spending too much hiring more bureacracy to enforce it. Too many idiots giving money to corporations, bailing out union bosses. Get where I'm going with this? Too many elitists that need a scalpel taken to them and cut from the budget.
Less stupid rules, restrictions, less taxes because the government is wasting less means a booming economy and much lower unemployment. Who suffers the most when the economy is screwed? The poor and to a lesser extent the middle class!
Why any American would vote for an incumbent with unemployment this high, an economy this dismal, or a poverty rate rising this much is beyond me.... |

I thought President Obama might not make it into the EPIK program. Well that is ignoring his past drug use. But Mr. Obama could work for EPIK. I thought he did not start American school till maybe High School. Yet he started in Grade 5 in Hawaii. If he had spent 3 more years in Indonesia he could not likely work for EPIK.
As to Romney, Ok maybe he might not get a teaching visa. Actually he could still get it. He was charged not convicted. Some people on ESL cafe have been admitted in with records or arrests. He would just need to explain it to the proper official. Never mind the record might not be on his FBI check. Or he could get it expunged or call up one of his many friends and get a pardon.
This thread is still political. I am surprised this is not in another area. |

if not there, then a uni gig

It becomes everyones business because the US economy is pulling the world down, including Korea. So, the longer this goes on and pulls Korea's economy down, the more this affects us wanting to stay and teach in Korea. (Lower exchange rates, too many young Americans here putting downward pressure on wages, downed Korean economy causing revenues to fall and us threatened with being laid off.)
Although, it isn't your business, I do have American relatives and could get a green card if I wanted to. So, it is more personal than me.
My point is I want America to hurry up and turn it's economy around and quit playing these political games. Thanks! |

| If you offered solutions that would actually create a recovery I would agree with you. But since we have a world depression caused by deregulation of derivatives and you're only solution is for more deregulation I'm going to have to ask you to butt out. Plus the idea of balancing the budget during a depression by cutting the social safety net when it's needed most is genocidal. I don't see how a guy whose stock in trade is asset stripping (buying companies and selling off the parts) could be seen as somebody who would do anything positive for the American economy. Not that Obama is any better of course. But you probably think he's a socialist, whereas in reality he is a Wall St puppet. Read Ron Susskind's Confidence Men for a mainstream account of this. |

Mcloo7: 'Don't meddle in our internal affairs?' Are you doing an impression of Chinese anti-colonialist-Han-imperialist rhetoric?

Okay. I'll be sure to bring that up in the meetings. |
