Whenever I hear that comment, I always respond with... I know of 4 places ALWAYS accepting applications and hiring. Great benefits, free education, no experience needed, world travel opportunities, free housing, food allowance, tax exemptions for certain positions, great job security, many opportunities for advancement, yearly raises mandated by law, free education for spouse or children. Immediate openings available.

oh, and you can carry an "illegal" knife legally if it's issued to you.


but I also agree...Knives is kind of a petty issue.

Do you guys HONESTLY think that Obama cares about or has even thought about pocket knives and their legality? Nope.

Dang, ammunition and black rifles are in short supply, looks like pocket knives are next. Better get yours before they they are all gone.

Who knows. It's pretty obvious he is not thinking about our economy, our safety, or our kid's futures...

prob not, I read the entire article, his name came up in the title, and the following

He said the change came after the incoming administration of President Barack Obama reassigned some managers at the agency.

I doubt the president sat there thinking either now, or during his campaign, "Damn the economy! I need to do something about those pesky knives".

Either way..... what a stupid thing to be wasting time, money, and resources on.

Officials with Customs told WND that they do not comment on issues during an open comment period, such as going on for the regulation change right now.
"We do not comment on pending proposals for changes in our rulings under 19 [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]USC[/color][/color] 1625. We are in the comment period and we will carefully weigh the comments that we receive before deciding whether to proceed to a final decision," the prepared statement e-mailed to WND said.

UHHHH, WHAT???????

I have to admit, the stories from World Net Daily often remind me of the boy who cried wolf.

Here is a different source.

I'm reminded how much he is thinking about out kid's future everytime I go to the gas station to buy a $5.00 pack of cigarettes to support my rediculous habit...

I can aussure you that he has these issues on the front of his mind..perhaps not the way you deem right, but they are for sure there. Pocket knives on the other hand...no. That is nothing but a bunch of political propoganda that you guys on the right like to pass around as "look what hes doing now instead of fixing the real problems in this country" crap.

Saying this..I know it does go both ways.
