Obama Discovers That There Are No Shovel Ready Jobs

Posted: October 18th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

In Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, there is an extensive interview
with President Obama that many Democrats are not very happy about.
They’re feeling that the President has thrown many of them under the
bus, before the election, by talking about all the mistakes he has
made in the past two years. You would have thought that a good
number of them would have figured this out long before and thrown
him, and his outlandish spending programs, in a body of water big
enough to hold them (say, the Pacific Ocean).

But the funniest revelation, more gallows humor really, is that the
President finally admits that there is no such thing as a shovel
ready job, unless you work in his organization, which has been
shoveling the shizz for almost four years, if you include his
campaign. As a former New Yorker, I’ve heard some incredibly good
shovelers, over the years. So when the President, Vice President,
Senate Majority Leader (Man Up, Harry Reid!) and House Speaker all
began this business about “shovel ready jobs,” a couple of dozen
moons back, I would just shake my head in wonder and try and puzzle
out just exactly when this house of cards would fall.

It’s now fallen.

The President and his cronies, after telling Americans for two years
that those shovel ready jobs were coming, now admit that they are
not. They are not coming, because there never was any such thing as
a shovel ready job (and of course, the President just discovered
this).

He’s says he’s been studying the history of one Billy Jay Clinton
and he says there are some lessons to be learned there. Most of us
know what they are, but apparently he is just getting the drift, in
the last two weeks, just before he has his head handed to him.

As an American, you want the President to be successful and most
Americans DO want the President to be successful. It doesn’t matter
what party you belong to, what your race or religion is, we want a
strong and successful President. But this President is totally out
of step with what the great majority of Americans want.

We don’t want a President who bows to Saudi kings, or who gives warm
handshakes to clowns, like Hugo Chavez. We don’t want a President
who doesn’t have the stomach to tell the Muslim community that the
Ground Zero Mosque is NOT a good idea, even if it is legal. We don’t
want a President and his cronies deciding which companies should
fail, or succeed. We don’t want to be told that he reformed Wall
Street, when he hasn’t. We don’t want to be told that he fixed the
housing market, when he hasn’t.

And if that $870 billion dollars that went to shovel ready jobs is
just a smokescreen, where did it go? And why does he need more?
Especially since one third of that $870 billion has not yet been
spent.

The message of this election is clear. The people are saying, “Mr.
President, we like you…but you have a trust problem. You need to
get it fixed, or you will be joining Uncle Jimmy, building houses.”

That’s where well-meaning academics go, after they lose the big one.

Where do former Speakers of the House go? As in, Pelosi.

I don’t know, but they don’t go by private jet.

If I thought it would help, I’d send a crate or two of my Powerhouse
Omega Formula to the White House. My pharmaceutical grade fish oil
might help raise the IQ’s in the place by 40 or 50 points. But then
again, it’s probably a little too late… for this election, anyway:

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.
