I was going to answer “the President of the United States of America”..
Phoebs: It’s just L’s roundabout way of congratulating President-Elect Obama.. No insults intended 🙂 I was also personally supporting him, not because he’s Black, but because he’s a Democrat.. ergo.. Liberal minded. (Did I get that right? )
As long as US businesses save more money by outsourcing, Call Centers here will continue to flourish. At any rate… YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO REMAIN A BLASTED CALL CENTER AGENT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?!? GODDAMMIT!!!
Ken: I heard about that issue.. The American Ambassador to the Phil was interviewed on a morning news show about that and she said/clarified that… Obama wants jobs for Americans.. but it doesn’t mean that he wants to take away jobs from other people.. What he wants to accomplish is to create more jobs for everyone (granted that the priority will be the Americans, but of course, since he’s the US president, not the world)… I don’t think he’s going to discriminate or anything.. And companies would still be hiring the competent people to do the jobs (call center industry, etc). I personally believe that a lot of Filipinos are still more competent than (ahem) other people.
If Obama really wanted to take away call center jobs from other countries, India would also suffer. :p
Americans are not the only clients the local outsourcing industry can source business from – the Australians, Chinese, Canadians and Europeans also want to pay for seats here
we’re doing black jokes now? all right, here’s one:
Bowling is a black man’s sport. Where else will you see people cheering on a black ball running over 10 rednecks?
incidentally, anybody here see Chris Rock’s 2003 movie “Head of State”?
No, we’re doing enlightened black men jokes. Because of the President-Elect. It’s still racist, but its a play on existing black men jokes.
What do you call a black man surrounded by a dozen white men?
The secret service escort.

L & Chompy: I know, and I get it 🙂
Actually, the joke I provided was from Chris Rock’s SNL Nat X skits from the 90’s.
Barack Obama is bad news to Call Center Agents. gee, he’s providing more jobs to Americans. 🙁

And JEZUS CHU-RIST, who uses the word “gee” in this day and age?!?
