Jacob Johnson joined the Marine Corps on Sept. 11, 2000 – exactly one year before the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

He served two tours in Iraq – combined, 13 months overseas – and considers himself fortunate to have been hired by the Arlington County Fire Department in 2005.

Obama again has solidified his concept that there are 2 classes of people. Government employees and the rest of us.

Obama feels that government employees deserve special rights and benefits that normal citizens do not deserve.

Getting a high paying government job is now dependent upon whether or not you are currently a member of the government class.
Since the best paying jobs are mostly government jobs, the normal citizens is barred by law from working in those good jobs.

This is just like Soviet Russia in the 40's and 50's where only party members got good housing and jobs.
