Meyers, FL. &#8220;Time out from his day&#8221;? Of doing what? Making rainbows and herding unicorns? Julio, the President&#8217;s job is to talk to the people who elected him.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Malkin calls it a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2009\/02\/11\/barack-obamas-savior-based-economy\/\">Savior-based economy<\/a>&#8220;. Julio complains that he has to go to college and work at MacDonalds and he can&#8217;t get ahead. Probably because he&#8217;s spending too much time asking God and Obama for a job instead of doing it on his own. A lot of us took crappy jobs when we were in college because that&#8217;s the only kind of jobs college students can get.<\/p>\n<p>I worked as a security guard on a construction site and as a VA counselor in our campus office &#8211; I was 39 years old when I finally went to college full time, had three teenagers and a wife to support on a full time minimum wage job and a  part time minimum wage job. There were entire days I never saw my bed. I certainly didn&#8217;t go to the President and beg him to make my life better. And, neither, I&#8217;m guessing did you. <\/p>\n<p>Julio is a star now, for the Left &#8211; he&#8217;s been on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2009\/02\/10\/julio-osegueda-on-countdo_n_165856.html\">Olbermann&#8217;s show<\/a>, HuffPo loves him, I even saw him on Al Rojo Vivo last night on Telemundo complaining that people like him have to work too hard. Huh? What&#8217;s too hard? There are probably illegal immigrants with less language skills than Julio with more gumption and ambition than Julio (who wants to be a disc jockey on the radio when he grows up).<\/p>\n<p>So the Right has Joe the Plumber who just wants to keep more of his own money and the Left has Julio the Disc Jockey who wants us to lift him above his own capabilities with our money. An excellent contrast in ideologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen this video, but, in case you haven&#8217;t, here it is; Young Julio Osegueda &hellip; <a title=\"Julio the Disk Jockey vs. Joe the Plumber\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=7811\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Julio the Disk Jockey vs. Joe the Plumber<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7811\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
