American Politics

Ok, I happen to catch this story this afternoon on Digg, and had to comment about it.

Everyone seems to think they know what the President thinks and stands for, I usually say you can tell a lot about a person by the people you keeps friends with. This is the story : "Zinsmeister: ‘I’ll Never Hire Another Woman Because They Just Get Pregnant And Leave’". This is the domestic policy adviser that Bush chose to have? Can you really be more obtuse. I agree that in certain functions, a woman getting pregnant and taking Maternity leave can cause some headaches for a company, but to go to the extent of saying that because woman can get pregnant, and may choose to take leave to spend time with their children, you'll never hire one again?. I think it is a great move for a family to have a parent home with their children at a young age, that is when they learn the basics of life.

thats my rant for today.

Le problème c'est qu'en plus, il n'est pas le seul à penser comme cela. Officiellement, tous les patrons sont d'accord qu'une femme soit enceinte et qu'elle prenne un congé pour s'occuper de son enfant, en autant qu'elle ne travaille pas dans leur département. Donc il n'est pas le seul à être un morron.
