Seriously? SERIOUSLY! SERIOUSLY!!!! Why would you ever, in any job, every say that you can't handle your job out loud? I work in sales and if I ever said "I can't work that large sale let alone multiple large sales at once," I would not make very much money at the minimum and worse I would not be up for any promotions to any other position, ever. Now, maybe if I had lobbyists dropping fat coin in my pocket each month then I wouldn't worry about doing anything hard but I don't and I'm pretty sure the other 303, 824, 540 Americans don't either.*

*(well, maybe Wall Street CEOs and their bailout bonuses)
