Why is Obama so reluctant to go work in Washington

Why is Obama so reluctant to go work in Washington?
It's only since he was called by the President to come that he reluctantly agreed to do so. Is it not important that no matter who is elected, that person have a say in our economic future?

Going to work in Washington? He'd show up and people might actually review his credentials: 143 days as the coat check boy. Having reviewed this small, insignificant fact, people might actually begin to question his ability to lead the nation and the world.
2 :
Probably because he's not on the committee to work on this whole Wall Street mess. The folks who are on that comittee almost have it worked out, they don't want some Johnny-come-lately swooping in with his pen and saying, "lemme just add this here and take away that there..." It alomst seems like McCain is baiting Obama to contribute to the legislation, then if it doesn't work our right, he'll point the finger and say "See - Obama's name is on that. he doesn't know what's best". Neither of them think the current plan is the best solution.

How difficult is it for a canadian to find work in washington D.C.?
I have a lot of great work experience and solid credentials. I'm dying to go work for one of the big government relation firms - i.e. Fleishman-Hillard, Hill & Knowlton. How competitive is it to get in? And how hard is it to get a visa?

Was it in your job description?
2 :
Yes. If you're asked to do something at work, you're supposed to do it. If you don't want to, find a different job.
3 :
In almost every state, unless you have a (union) contract to the contrary, you can be fired for no reason at all, let alone refusing to do what you're told, to the best of your ability.
4 :
Yes. Someone has to clean it up. You are a prima donna. Expect many more firings.
5 :
There is no such thing as a 'just' reason to be fired. They can fire you for no reason at all, refusing to do your job is actually a very good reason. There is no law that bars minors from cleaning urine. Do you think you are too good for the job, but it's okay for others to have to do it? How's that working for you?
6 :
FLSA (federal labor laws) prohibit dangerous jobs for minors. That is not dangerous, otherwise you could not have babysitters. So yes, you disobeyed a direct order.
