And now: Julio gets a job

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 11, 2009 01:44 PM

The savior-based economy comes through again. Obama cult worshiper Julio — the McDonald’s worker in Ft. Myers who complained about his benefits yesterday at the president’s revival meeting — has a new gig.

“I have never felt this good except maybe when I got my Playstation3 for Christmas.”
Then came his interviews with CNN, other networks and local TV stations.

“I couldn’t believe it,” his mother, Sarah, said. “He worked really hard at that. He is like that, he doesn’t plan, he just does it.”

He also picked up another job — if just for a day — as the color announcer for the Fort Myers Miracle baseball team’s radio broadcast for its home opener April 10. The one-day gig typically pays $25, but the Miracle said the salary is negotiable.

“I’ll be ready,” he said about his debut.

After all, Osegueda is studying to be a broadcaster or disc jockey.

Move over, Olbermann. Here comes Julio.

Gracious God!

    Late to the thread and scanned things only quickly, so if it’s been said, forgive me.

    To anyone’s knowledge, has Gov. Crist or a high-ranking official in Florida unleashed the dogs from hell to invade the privacy of Julio–finding his transcripts, his employment records, and so forth? As an Ohioan, the left laughed, but I was appalled at what happened to JTP. I was so pleased to see a high Ohio official have to resign in disgrace–likely to pick up some other government job.

    So Far, Amateur Hour

    By Kathleen Parker (WaPo)
    Wednesday, February 11, 2009; Page A19

    The first however-many days of Barack Obama’s presidency have been a study in amateurism.

    Many suspected that Obama wasn’t quite ready, but kept their fingers crossed. Optimistic disappointment is the new holding pattern.

    What’s missing from Obama’s performance isn’t the intelligence that voters acknowledged in electing him. It’s the experience they tried to pretend didn’t really matter. Experienced politicians, after all, got us into this mess.

    Absent is maturity — that grown-up quality of leadership that is palpable when the real deal enters a room…

    Re:Julio – as some one earlier said if he had been at Mickey D’s that long and hadn’t burned the fries that often, and showed some kind of management potential, McDonalds has a very good record for advancement from within. He doesn’t want a job, he wants benefits! Most of the high school graduates I have interviewed for hire with my company seem to think that they can enter the work force with a HS diploma, no experience, and get $80K annual salary, a company BMW and a cell phone. When you mention that the job requires 9-10 hour days, some weekends, and in case of weather emergency (we are a utility company) 16 hour/7 day week until the emergency is cleared, they get cross-eyed and exit the interview process.

    Lack? CHARACTER & INTEGRITY, more than anything else top the list of what he hasn’t shown any. A Democrat friend now acknowledges:

    You know, way down deep I was hoping Obama would recognize his leadership responsibilities and see the potential for greatness. But it appears he is what he always seemed, a shallow, self interested deceitful person who is giving this frightening Congress full reign in exchange for his future agenda. This isn’t a “bailout”, this is a sale … So, the question “What Price America” seems answered.

    Am I missing something? I read that liberals are acting like this kid did something amazing, but I don’t see anything but a foolish child.

    First, he’s 19 and he worked at McDonald’s for four-and-half years? That would put him at 14 years old when he started working. I’m pretty sure that Florida prohibits companies from hiring someone that young.

    Second, four-and-a-half years at McDonalds and they haven’t made him a shift manager or something like that? I worked at a McD’s for two years and they made me a manager (at 19!). If Julio worked so hard, why didn’t he get any promotions?

    Third, this kid can’t communicate. I recognized the words he spoke as English, but I still am not sure what he question was. He wants more benefits? Why? Because he worked at McD’s for four years (allegedly)?

    The only thing I saw was a child who was practically worshiping President Obama. I guess that’s all you need to be crowned a “genius.” You can speak incoherent gibberish but if you praise Obama, you’re “smart.”
