Nobody said if better than Rob Sanchez over at the Job Destruction Newsletter. _I was quite stunned to read Parade magazine yesterday. In it, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao is quoted saying that American workers not only have bad attitudes and lousy work ethics, they also need to dress better and to have better personal hygiene. Let's be blunt -- Chao thinks American workers have bad body odor. On top of all that, Chao thinks that Americans need to take anger management classes! After reading the article several times in stunned disbelief I decided to call Parade magazine and ask where the source of those quotes came from. I talked to the contact person for the press release who told me that the author of the story, Lyric Wallwork Winik, interviewed Chao. She didn't know for sure how the interview was conducted but most of Winik's interviews are done in person or via telephone. She was quite interested, and somewhat surprised, when I told her that that this article is starting to get a lot of notice in internet blogs and chat rooms. The Parade website allows comments if you wish to express your opinion about Chao's negative attitude towards American workers. Make no mistake about Elaine Chao's motivation for making these racist and offensive comments. Her purpose is quite transparent -- she wants to denigrate American workers in order to justify the importation of foreign workers by using guest worker visas such as H-1B, L-1, H-2B, TN, etc. The jobs she doesn't destroy here in the U.S. she wants to offshore. These negative attitudes towards American labor shouldn't be tolerated, but it does seem fashionable nowadays. Corporate toadies like Chao are manipulating our sense of self esteem and value to instill an inferiority complex in us so that we will accept the destruction of the American middle class. Elaine Chao shouldn't be allowed to hold a public position, especially one like the Secretary of Labor, but as we all know her anti-American attitudes are shared by her boss, President Bush. Why aren't Americans marching down the street demanding the immediate dismissal of public enemies like Chao?_

Chao is just like her moronic husband, Mitch McConnell, a puppet who utters untrue hate-filled statements. They are so anti-American it's pathetic. The good news is their words are starting to come back to haunt them.

She is a lazy thinker and an unintelligent mouthpiece for the White House and I will do the job that she is doing for half the money and make it a better organization in less then 1 year, how about it Elaine?

Elaine Chao should take the nearest Greyhound bus to Canada or Mexico. She clearly does not represent the interest of the majority of US citizens, much less the US labor force. I'm not sure how good her hygiene is, but I have suffered many a day with IT guys from other countries and their overly smelly food an BO. Chao should get her facts straight before she starts spouting off. Resign Elaine for the good of America. Taiwan would welcome you back with open arms. Oh - and take Mitch McConnell with you. lol

I am out raged after doing my own research on what Ms. Chao is and isn't doing as Secretary of Labor. Who the heck does she think she is? How dare she make these kinds of judgments of American people!! If you don't like it here and you don't like American, as she refers to "The American dream" she should just leave and return to the country where she came from. Why do we have a foreigner as U.S. Secretary of Labor anyways, how does that happen? Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. I am a Native American, I have a college degree for being a secretary, how the heck does someone from another country make U.S. Secretary of Labor. I'm qualified, I want her job and I bet I can do it better. ;) How about it? I'll hire Jaded as my assistant.
