Verizon Wireless

I had 3 interviews with Verizon last week. 2 over the phone and 1 in person. As of now I am waiting for them to finish my background check and get back to me about the position. I would really like this job. Praying that it works out.

Interesting

So I'm packing up all of my belongings in preparation of my big move to Denver tomorrow. In the process I found an old history paper I wrote two years ago for my "America Between the Wars" history class. The paper compared the success of the Hoover and Roosevelt Administrations during the Great Depression. Hoover is basically remembered as a horrible President and Roosevelt the savior of the world. This was not always the case. Hoover was initially beloved by the American people. One of the quotes in my paper sums it up best...

We were in the mood for magic. We had summoned a great engineer to solve our problems for us; now we sat back comfortably and confidently to watch the problems being solved. The modern technical mind was for the first time at the head of the government...Almost with the air of giving genius its chance; we waited for the performance to begin.


I can't help but draw comparisons between Hoover and Obama. The question is, will history repeat itself and will Obama legacy end up being the same as Hoovers?
