response to mham942#207434:  I am a veteran and all for hiring
veterans. I question councilman Robert Briley 's reason for a
White House visit. Was he there looking for a government hand
out? Because if he wants to commit to hiring veterans, all he
needed to do is give preferance to veterans. He didn't need a
White House visit to do that!  Why so cynical? Even if the WH
(and the currrent administration) are helping promote and lead
the way in helping small businesses (like the one Briley owns)
hire returning veterans, why does it become an issue that he was
invited to the WH to discuss his plan and how other business
owners are plannig to implement programs that would encouarge
the hiring of our military veterans? I'm not an Obama fan or
follower, but I find nothing but good in Mr. Briley going and
meeting with administration officials about this issue....You
don't have to always look for the "negative" in something that
originates in D.C.!!
