"What I obviously was saying, and I believe, is the American workers, the most productive and the most innovative -- they are the fundamentals of our economy and the strength of it and the reason why we will rebound," he said Tuesday on CNN's "American Morning."
In related news, Hewlett Packard announced today that its merger with EDS will result in the elimination of nearly 25,000 jobs.

Hewlett-Packard to cut nearly 25,000 jobs in EDS reorganization | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Breaking News for Dallas-Fort Worth | Dallas Morning News

Quote:
Hewlett-Packard Co. said Monday that it plans to cut about 24,600 jobs as part of its purchase and reorganization of Electronic Data Systems Corp.

[...]

The layoffs will occur over the next three years, and H-P said it plans to replace about half of the jobs.

But many of those replacement hires seem likely to come from low-cost areas such as India, as H-P said in a news release it is aiming for "a global workforce that has the right blend of services delivery capabilities to address the diversity of its markets and customers worldwide."
What was that about "the American worker" again?

What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compared to what lies right to our faces.

The American worker has turned into an over-paid bitchy lot. Unions can't help them much anymore.

Biden the bankers friend. When the banks wanted to create a place to safely park while they stripped the American public they went to Delaware. When the bankers knew before hand the crash was on it's way they again went to Biden to help push through the new bankruptcy laws. Now he wants to put the blame all on Bush?

How else can HP sell a printer-fax-scanner-copier for $99 and still make money!
