Obama wants more Jobs...Why not start with the Fed!

U.S President Barack Obama wants more jobs for the people of the U.S.

Here's some advice for you Mr. Obama if you want more jobs for the people why not start first with the U.S Government.

The reason I say this is because The U.S is heading into U.S Census time, that is the 10 year population count for the United States. The citizenry and their lives are recorded into the U.S Census data.

When the Census occurs The U.S government starts employing large numbers of people to go out and check address, actually interview people for the Census, as well as hiring support crew, bookkeepers, management etc, all for this one year "ten year" Census count.

So the Census ought to be a great opportunity for people to get temporary part-time or even full-time work. God, knows many people at this time need work. One major
obstacle for employment through for the Census I have recently found out is passing the criminal background check , run by the FBI.

Definitely, I guess you would need a background check like this to get government work? But if you want to hire many people..a background check at present way it is going to get in the way of employing alot of people. Some good people who could get into places, other people may of difficulty doing.

I may not be one of these people, but I worked alot with the U.S Census around the Year 2000, not only did I work on the 10 year census, I also worked about a year, doing some full-time work for the Census Bureau as well, I also worked a couple years more doing other Survey work where I'd be getting information interviewing people. It was the census work that I did ten years ago that helped me find employment... doing what I am doing, right now.

But during this up-coming Census year 2010, I applied for employment again with the Census Bureau but I found that I have been temporarily? blocked from employment in the Census , because I failed a criminal background check.

I have tried to maintain my freedom, and a criminal free lifestyle. When I applied for the Census, they ask you if you have been arrested or committed a felony within a certain time of applying for a Job with the Bureau. Within the time parameter mentioned, I did not recall doing anything or being convicted of a felony. So I wrote "No" to all those questions.

Then I discovered that my name came up in an FBI background check, and I could no longer be considered for employment, unless I provided the U.S government with more information about alleged run in with the criminal justice system and or a copy of my fingerprints. I thought , Have I been put on some kind of terrorist watch list? have I said too much on these blogs?

I had to be really honest with myself, and I did remember a time when I spent a couple of days in jail, and was booked by the Oakland Police...possibly for an assault. The possible assault and battery was on the Person I mention here in the early part of this Blog, the on-going shenanigans that was going on in the residential Hotel, The "Oaks Hotel".

After 2 days, I was released from jail. I received a small letter saying that "I was not arrested, but "Detained"", and I guess the charges were dropped. I never saw a judge. Nevertheless before that outcome I was photographed and fingerprinted, hence maybe this came up in the FBI background check.

I kept that memo when I got out of jail, its dated either in the year 2000or 2001, it was the first time I had ever been arrested for anything,much less over the results of staying in a residential hotel in California when I couldn't afford to stay anywhere else. I was 38,39 years old. I got bombed by this tenant in the mornings ( upstairs tenant making unruly noises early in the morning)..after trying to work two jobs, and dealing with family problems, I decided to confront the "troll" with a baseball bat. It wasn't my intent to hit the guy with it, and I didn't, I just wanted to get the guy off my back. I got two days in jail.

Maybe I was lucky charges were not filed, maybe I could have been arrested for Assault and Battery which is probably a felony though I didn't actually hit the guy with the bat. But at least If I had been prosecuted for that,.... people would have known better about the conditions that were going on at that Hotel, being subsidized by the housing authority and the Federal government.

There are probably alot of other people who are not so lucky, Many African-Americans in U.S society probably don't fare as well as I did , confounded by the U.S Criminal justice system, in which they are more the victims of a bureaucracy that just "ran them over" and could not even afford to pay to get fingerprinted to get a part-time job with the Census Bureau. Some of the unlucky people who are American citizens, who have lost there jobs, victimized by the system,or patriots in for standing up for an American system they where taught to believe in..that has failed them miserably and continues to fail them. While the people who profit and succeed in this government, seem to be "Above the Law", who commit crimes far more heinous and damaging to people and the American government.

They are apparently not barred form working for the American Government.

So Mr. Obama ,You want more jobs for American Citizens,not for Mexican immigrants coming to this country illegally. Why not start first with the American Government. Supposing you Mr.Obama, or Mr.George W.Bush could be barred from the office of the Presidency of the United States because you fail a FBI background check,because of something you did in your younger days could you then provide the legal documents for it?

Then you might also make sure that the American Government isn't the cause of people being unemployed or incarcerated in the first place by enforcing and upholding the laws of the land in the first place.
