Rebecca, 23, was named "One of 20 Teens Who Will Change the World" by Teen People magazine in February 2000 and was awarded a Point of Light by President Clinton. She graduated with honors from the University of Chicago, earning degrees in economics and pre-law. As a Chicago-based investment banker, she structured mergers and acquisitions, as well as equity and debt transactions. Prior to that, she traded short-term interest rate options on Citigroup's foreign exchange desk in London. Outside of business, Rebecca founded a non-profit organization, raising over $750,000 to support disenfranchised children. In conjunction with this effort, she lobbied state and federal government officials, speaking at a wide range of national conferences and sharing the stage with Al Gore and Colin Powell, among others. She also reported on-air, wrote and helped produce hard news, features, and entertainment segments for a weekly show on an NBC affiliate in her hometown of Minneapolis. She is currently a financial journalist in Chicago.
I give her props for having enough guts to carry out all these tasks on crutches. While I am leaning toward Trump hiring both, I really think that if he goes for just one it will be Randal. She's good, alot better than both finalists last season, but Randal is just better.
I agree, she should be commended and make sure you dont pick on her, because if you get a kick from that leg shes been hopping around on...oy look out. She mustve increased her strength in that leg 10 times over.
Looking at what they did...Randall ran his event for the charity first and worried about sponsor second. Lois Lane ran her event to please the sponsor but raised bupkiss for the charity..which was the POINT of the event.
She professed herself to be big on details but she missed the boat. If her task was to impress Yahoo... thats fine ... she did a great job. If it was a roast of George.. HANDS DOWN..shes the winner. It was to raise both awareness and MONEY $$$$$$$$$$ for the charity.. she bombed.
Time for Lois to head back to CNN financial news and lose some of the moose in her hair (im a bald guy, i dont know how to spell moose) :-D

What you said is right on the money!
I kept thinking...what about the foundation? Who gives a hoot about Yahoo...I learned more about Yahoo than the foundation...
I mean who wouldnt have...Yahoo rugs, Yahoo lighted ice (who cares)...yahootinis (as if).
The foundation....one tiny banner hanging above the bar?? Mmmmkay.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

Thats why it was great when she introduced Trump he talked about nothing else other than the foundation... which was the point.
I think to get Lois back for her lack of attention to THAT detail, he decided to push up the time on the event... BAMMMMMM!!!!! Take that Lois.
THEN .... says. "Looks a bit disorganized!!!!!" BAMMMMMMM BAMMMMMMM!
It was a nice touch for her to have up on the Trump-atron the Yahoo stuff with Trump on it. (Trumpatron... runs to get THAT name registered...dont doubt for a second someone in the Trump organization doesnt read this site)
ALSO .. after Toral's monologue saying the same thing over and over and over... (OVERKILL that is) .. I felt like someone shouldve walked up and said.. "The preceeding message was brought to you by the friends of Lois Lane and reporters everwhere)

I couldnt stand Toral...
I think Toral was pushing for Rebecca so that Toral could have a job when all was said and done.
Toral was pathetic.
Personally, if I had to hear one more time about Rebecca and her broken leg, I was going to scream. Ummm, many people work with a broken leg...Kids go to school with broken legs.
As if that made her stronger? Hellp Rebecca...Randal's family member died and I didnt see him playing that card over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over *breath* and over and over and over and over again....heh.
Trump and his "anyone else would have cried and went home?" Ummm..not in the real world...most people cant afford to leave their job for weeks with a broken leg unless they work on their feet 24/7. An office job, most people can handle working...and they have to.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

She had a broken leg?? And here I thought Lois was just drinking too much coffee and BUBBLY all the time.
Im surprised Trump made a big deal of it with the leg and all... shes the clumsy olf to fall on the ice that way.... imagine her and Omorrosa together.. holy cow..
One would get hit on the head with a tiny piece of SEA-ment and Lois would fall down breaking her leg....
You want THAT clumbsy person constructing a HUGE building... er... nope!
Whats even funnier is that in the interviews after with Lois...
"Even though you didnt win.. you were still chosen out of a million people and you lasted just as long as Randal did...."
NO ONE was talking to Jen M last time that although she didnt win, she was chosen...
They (the media) are trying to make more out of Lois Lane than she actually is.... Shes reported for such national items like.. oh Business 2.0 and unless youre a business geek, you would have never heard of her before...
Chigago SunTimes I think as well...its not like she worked for something that most people wouldve said "oh ya, i remember her..."
Im trying hard NOT to dislike her but her over the top interviewing, and the HUGE playing up of sympathy is getting MAJOR annoying... most people on message boards EVERYWHERE were touting Randal as the walk away winner in this and NOW hes the anti christ... a racist... and whatever else you want to throw at him. Even on the other site www.theapprenticerules.com he refused to put up that Rebecca was fired.. its NOT HIRED. Well its the same again with Tana vs Kendra last season.. he didnt FIRE Tana per say just Hired Kendra yet this guy tags Tana's pic with FIRED!! and Not Good ol Lois Lane this year. Its despicable.
Some people are making this into a black/white controversy which is wrong.. its more of a left wing/right wing one. As most people would know the media in general LEANS a tad *sarcasm* to the left or democrats when it comes to most issues. When one of their own is attacked... see CBS anchor et all they seem to circle the wagons and attack the "enemy" When anyone in government seems to challenge one of "THEM" they join forces and demonize their opponent. In this case its Randal.
Theyve taken this once lauded individual who was going to walk away with the win and nothing was going to stop him, he was a loving husband, great friend, led by leadership etc... now hes this arrogant, self centred, bas***d whos only out to think of himself ... against this cute, fuzzy, huggable young little girl, who was the pride of Bill Clinton (then again, ANYONE in a skirt outside of his wife was the "Pride" of Bill CLinton)
She was a well known touted individual known to many democrats and well known within the Media in general... now shes been attacked by the "EVIL AND MENACING" Randal and theyve circled the wagons and made this candidate (who raised ZERO for her charity, completely missing the TASK) the martyr here and the person who has been a success all his life (Rhodes scholar, MIT, 5 successful businesses etc) the VILLAN.
Damn, the media wants to protect the cival liberties of people who supports terrorists than support an administration doing what he can to protect its citizens... and then demonize a quality individual like Randal...
They (The media) want to reward failure and say she deserved it. Well Tana deserved it last season against Kutie Kendra, and Jenn M by default being the last person there with Kelly deserved it and Kwame deserved it as well... THEY didnt win. There wasnt an upswell of voices in the nation saying GIVE KWAME a job.. he went out and did it...again. No one said GIVE TANA a job...shes pretty successful on her own thank you... Now because shes cute, young, and DEMOCRAT (media) we all now must rise up against the evil successes in life and demand that all losers get the best jobs even though at this point their not qualified...
THATS the American way... (I know IM over the top, but just watch a few Lois Lane interviews and its nothing compared...watch the head movements, its like watching the nightly news)
/end rant
Whos loving this the MOST???? Trump. Controversy creates CASH!!!!
