The fact of the matter is that the stimulus has never been about creating jobs or quick-starting the economy. The stimulus has always been nothing more than an Obama/Democrat slush fund. The main reason that less than half of the $787 billion emergency stimulus has been spent is because Obama and the Democrats are saving it for the 2010 and 2012 elections.
So how does Mr. Blumenthal explain the stark differences between history and the BS that comes out of his mouth? That’s easy – he claims that he may have “misspoken.” Gee, maybe next time I want to impress someone I can misspeak about being a commander on the Space Shuttle Discovery. And this man is a lawyer and an attorney general who throws people in jail?
The sad fact is that these CEO’s and most others are intimidated by the Obama administration and the congressional Democrats. Sadly, this is what this country has come to in a little over a year since King Obama ascended to the throne. Government is now either in control of industry, in cahoots with industry, or at war with industry.
That whole scene was created by the Democrats in order to goad emotional and frustrated people into doing or saying something stupid. They then planned on using this to offset the visceral anger that the majority of Americans have towards them and the Obama administration.
Controlling our lives – make no mistake that this is exactly what our Marxist president and his like minded cronies are attempting to do. No longer can the left-wing establishment and the media feign indignation when we call these people what they are.
I recall during the war when the Democrats and their lapdogs in the media couldn’t help gushing when the troop fatality level was approaching 1000, then 2000, then 3000…….I remember a left-wing scumbag who I worked with being downright giddy when it was announced that the 2000th U.S. troop had lost his life.
The bill is a smokescreen to convince ignorant Americans that Obama and the Democrats are doing something about unemployment. We already had a “jobs bill” – a much larger one. It was referred to as the “stimulus package” and it cost us about $800 billion with little to no results.
There’s no doubt that it’s been kind of rough lately for John Edwards and family. Edwards was once one of the highest paid slip and fall trail lawyers in the country. Today he’s probably hiding out in the basement of his 28,200 square foot home in North Carolina. Fortunately for Edwards, the home is said to be the largest home in the country, so he has dozens of spare bedrooms to sleep in.
