Irish Article Blames Working Women

There are in America as well as around the world, a class of businesswomen that make six figure incomes - as well as five figures - and live good, even lavishly. They have worked hard for it. They deserve it.
There are apparently alot of men that resent it.
In a controversial article gaining traction on the Web, working women are seen as the reason for the credit crunch.
The article states: "It would be ludicrous to suggest that women should be sacked purely to give men their jobs. In many cases, their jobs should be abolished as well.

Women are twice as likely as men to work in the public sector. They account for two-thirds of the Civil Service and three- quarters of all public employees."
This is the most ignorant thing I've heard in my life. And it goes in the Fail basket.

Can Obama Help These People?

There is a segment of America that Barack Obama (or any candidate) didn't necessarily reach out to to, absent from the debates, far away from the television cameras, devoid of Internet access, but just as relevant: the White Poor.
Sarah Palin considered her base to be working class, soccer mom and rifle-toting: That's not the White Poor. The White Poor is an invisible group to the American political landscape. They're in the hood, they've been there; you haven't. Public schools are a rite of passage; they have interracial babies, smoke Newports and are just trying to get by. Can Obama, who preached a message of inclusion and change, reach these people? Does he want to.
