President Obama I am confronted with a dilemma

President Obama;

I am confronted with yet another article where you remark a "high school diploma does not cut it any more"! You were delivering a speech at a graduation ceremony in VA. You have made this comment several times over the past year.

In my opinion, you are giving, employers the right to discriminate against highly qualified candidates by insisting we are undereducated American Citizens; undeserving of employment opportunities due to the lack of a 'piece of paper'.

Simply because one has a college degree does not mean (by any stretch of the imagination) one is intelligent, or even capable, of performing the duties of a job description correctly.

No offense intended but the American economy was destroyed by college graduates, some of which, [the list should have been longer] are now incarcerated. Waiting in the wings to take their places were other college graduates; who remain clueless how to repair or resolve the economic debacle laid upon America, and the American Citizens, by the former scholars of destruction.

No college courses offer integrity 101, compassion 101, tenacity 101, morals 101, ethics 101, pride in one's work 101, good old American "know how" 101, and last, but, not least common sense 101.

Regards,

A Frustrated American Citizen

P. S. The economy has been so maimed even college graduates can not find employment!
