I promise I'll work hard for jobs in this community. We need good?paying jobs for people in our community. My main issue is to get jobs, jobs, jobs because I'm union?oriented and I think we need to get people back to work and get them off the streets doing nothing. That's the best way to bring our economy back.

Abhorrent Quotes
The most obvious and condescending tell-tale sign that manipulation is taking place is that no one takes responsibility for the actions of the administration, its always some other department who is to blame and never the people who have authority, its always some nameless foot-soldiers, a few bad apples, when we all know that such excuses dont hold water, we know who gave the order for soldiers to engage in the abhorrent techniques of torture, we know who told subordinates in the corporation(s) to fudge the numbers and be creative, we know full well who makes these decisions. President Truman said, The buck stops here, now the buck effectively floats over many people never stopping anywhere, so theres no one to blame.

Oppenheimer has been in these meetings in Washington to select the target, and it's full steam ahead to Japan.
