@ Natron, just because you are insured does not mean you will get your money either. One of the guys I work with lost two condos on the beach during Katrina, he has yet to see more than half of his money.

What's wrong with conducting national business on an old couch dragged out on the White House's front steps? :)

If you're willing to carry buckets full of 400 degree rubber and trowel it down on concrete.... or use a 3000 degree torch to lay down a roof.... or bust out 4,000 feet of coating at an extremely high level of skill then we may have a use for you...

i've seen guys out here that finish concrete with cut up 2 liter bottles that are absolute artists....

In the end, it's all about prevailing wage... something the govt came up with to insure that people made a fair wage... what do they consider a fair wage for my cheapest guy? The guy who carries those buckets? $395 a day... including his benefits.... that's my cheapest guy on a prevailing wage job.... figure about $42.50 an hour....

prevailing wage laws are in effect so when you work on a government project you can use all the non union scabs you want but you still have to pay prevailing union wages for your area. it stops the companies working the contract from undermining american workers.

Bush over-rode prevailing wage laws to exploit immigrant labor in the rebuilding of New Orleans. No shite!

Was he given relief money ?
I've read a lot of ppl spent their relief money then were shocked to find it came out of their total settlement from the insurance companies.
Not a big shock really.. but everyone wants something for nothing. Obamanoids I'm going to call them..

That being said - if your friend didn't get relief money or a full settlement that really sucks and I'd file a law suit .. then again I'm from MA and were sue happy..

No he did not get relief money, he did not live in either condo. He lives in Mass. His insurance company said exactly the same thing, "So sue us". His wife is a paralegal for a large law firm and they told him not to hold his breathe.

Barack Obama is not even legally a black American. He only has one black great-great-grandmother on his father's side while the other 7 were Arab.

That makes him 50% white, 43.75% Arab, and 6.25% black. 12.5% is the minimum required to legally claim any racial status in America.

Obama would quallify as the first Arab-American president, NOT the first black president. That is why they keep saying "African-American" and NOT black because they know he is African Arab and not African black.

i have not fogoten that all i am saying is that a lot of people seem to think that he will be the first Black president and i am just setting the record strait,

and im not sure i would be saying he is an american just yet seeing how his father in from kenya and more than likley hew was born there. his grandmother said that she was so proude to be able to be at Obamas birth in Kenya, and up till now they have yet to show a birth cirtifacate, all they have is a unaficcial copy of a birth declaration.
he has sealed his colege records more than likly because he was reciving foren aid to go to school.

that's a great idea!

I like how you have embraced the ideology of giving people something for doing nothing. You sir are a true Obama supporter.
I have a better idea though. why don't we find a member that has to many watches or got to good a deal on one and make him give his watch to someone else on the forum who doesn't have a watch. That's really the Obama way!
