#1 Remember when this would have brought all the MSM and liberals out of the woodwork screaming about how all jobs being made during Bush's recovery were only low paying burger flipping jobs?

Now they are jubilant about the job creation and teh 0ne's brilliance.

The flip flop and deliberate distortion of "reporting" would have made Orwell shake his head in wonder.

#2 No mention of how more workers other restaurants will have laid off so far due to a drop in business, far more workers than McD's will hire. During Lent McD's used to offer a fish sandwich twofer at $3.33, but is not doing that any more. A falling standard of living has many ramifications.

#4 ...or McD is testing the waters to see if better qualified people are now willing to sign up as bennies are starting to run thin. Has the Great Recession drag on long enough to overcome the bloated self esteem [not to be confused with basics like reading] taught so many in our wretched school systems?

#5 They have been hiring right off the street. Just walk in's generally. The assistant manager can make $30000./year. Some areas will be different however.From what I have heard they work a few days and then they are gone. Crime is a problem for them also due to many of their locations and hours.Good job for a senior. Then maybe some benefits. But all most likely will be part time and few hours to work and we call you when we need you so stand by. You may as well be on call 24/7.

#6 But how many of those hires will be legal residents?

Seems like the native language of every Micky-D and Jack-in-the-Box is Spanish around here.

#8 And the Dems wanted to ban burgers and fries. They are so disconnected with America.
