And we think we have problems! Look at the energy this young man exhibits; and with such obstacles to overcome. I'll make a prediction that by the time Kolya gets into his mid-twenties, and with his college degree already in-hand, he'll be a marathon runner. What an inspirational story!
First of all, wouldn't you know how soon you'd have to raise money for the election when the primary date was on the petition you were soliciting for signatures to even file? I smell a coup taking shape amongst the democrats; some who appear to not be favorable to the current leadership. So, the leader's only choice in the matter is to thin the herd, wherever possible, to just one candidate in each office; for any other democrat in the race opposing the endorsed candidiate that would win the primary would validate that there "is" dissension amongst the troops.
And for his allegiance; from stepping down so that the hand-picked candidate can be given the position without opposition from within the Party, Mr. Marsico will be handed a "token" position by either the Federal, State, or Local Political Democrats; either to a Board of some sorts, or a Commission in Early 2013. Because in the public/political sector, that's how the take care of each other.
I know more qualified people that are unemployed now than in 2008. The only way this statistic can be accurate is if it doesn't count the one's that have expired their 99 weeks, have just downright retired after losing their job, and the population that has defected out of state to seek employment elsewhere. I agree with the previous post that says they are now counting the seasonal holiday workforce to achieve this low number.
Many insensitive comments related to this young man's plight. I am confident that his desire to re-gain employment and his willingness to re-train in a different career path will produce positive results for him in 2012. We're all Americans. and many of us are all just one paycheck away from being in his shoes. John, never give up the "drive" and disregard the naysayers in your path.
