He's so old, he doesn't know how to deal with his email!

Though that follows pretty logically. Working for the Feds is working for the old white guys who are slowly but surely sharing the power with the rest of us. Of course, in the process of making room for others, they’re holding onto their power for dear life.

Thing is, there comes a point when they can’t anymore–look at John McCain. He’s so old, he doesn’t know how to deal with his email! Granted he knows the ins and outs of the federal process which is why he continues to hold substantial weight in U.S. Congress… but that can’t get him elected president by the general public when he’s got competition who can multitask on his blackberry, while on a conference call on his blue tooth.

Government positions are changing, but it’s slow. I believe they will certainly get to where I banking and other more modern industries are at with childcare for working moms, but I don’t think they’ll ever be on an even playing field just by the nature of the game.

The Constitution’s old. I banking, on the other hand, is a much newer concept, right along with childcare in the workplace.
