Oh now, boss. It’s a Christmas tree! Why shouldn’t there be presents for everyone? Except skilled and/or white male workers, I mean.

Wish I wouldn’t have missed her appearance live, damnit!!
The boss is on the money as always!!

Reich is a racist little ass.

pat on January 23, 2009 at 6:22 PM

Ha! Absolutely superb.

A non-white female shutting down not only race-based poltics but also the insane profligacy of the bail-out mentality?

I can’t imagine how much hate mail Michelle receives.

Ares on January 23, 2009 at 6:22 PM

Kinda hot when she’s pissed.

pugwriter on January 23, 2009 at 6:22 PM

I posted this on another thread but I though it was interesting so I will repeat. Sen. Inhofe was on Bill Bennett’s show yesterday and he said that the original TARP bill amounted to $5000.00 per tax filing family in the U.S. Hard to believe that it wouldn’t have been better spent with the tax payers but certainly should not have gone to failing banks.

Cindy Munford on January 23, 2009 at 6:24 PM

The Dems are architecting a total collapse of our economy, while at the same time, building in a socialist infrastructure…ready to take over. They’ll have to scuttle the Constitution as well, of course.

Who can stop them?

stonemeister on January 23, 2009 at 6:25 PM

Saw the show. Cavuto and Malkin are great together. Those two, Glen Beck, and Rush are the only high-profile speakers of bailout truth out there. Am I missing anyone. Well, yeah, Ed and AP.

Unskilled workers building our infastructure…what could go wrong?

“If you’re going off a bridge, we don’t want to follow,” says Cavuto.

And we don’t want to go on the bridge in the first place if it’s built by a bunch of unskilled workers.

The socialist democraps and that Chicago Thug want a rebirth of affirmative action in the worst way. As for Charlie Rangel, send him to Gitmo, he’s earned it.

Oh, and Robert Reich is a racccccciiiiissssstttt.

He said: Hey little boy, you can’t go where the others go
‘Cause you don’t look like they do.
I said, Hey old man, how can you stand to think that way
and did you really think about it before you made the rules?
He said, Son, that’s just the way it is.

redrock on January 23, 2009 at 6:36 PM

This is all about the brazen purchase of a very large portion of the electorate to ensure that the Democrats will always, or at least for the next generation or two, have the loyalty of over half the population to maintain Democrat power in Washington unhindered. So long as these who view government as Santa Claus are given perks for loyalty, the evil conservatives will remain in the minority, demonized, as they are by Reich, already, as being insufficiently good enough to receive government stimuli because of their jaded, racist, anti-American (anti-socialist) thinking…those nasty bitter clingers, you know.

This method has worked well in the past in other countries over the past century, by fascist leaders, so why ignore a good model?

Your average white guy…the new Jew of the 21st Century?

Can the back of the bus and NO WHITES signs be far behind?

Disturb the Universe on January 23, 2009 at 6:37 PM

This is the second time around for Reich. He is much more radical this time. I’d hate to see the third Reich.

I case any of you missed it, Obama is the first affirmative action Prez. Yo… Selected, protected, uninspected, under qualified, and now overtly anti-white.

I look at him as a white Christian.

Funny that.

I guess there isn’t a big need for hump-backed Jewish dwarf construction workers.

This is the greatest counrty in the world, where you can be what ever you want to be. I’ve been self employed for over 20 years. All you gotta do is get off your a##. When I read what reich said it pissed me off beyond belief. Americans better stand together of all races, or this country is doomed.

Alex Martinez on January 23, 2009 at 6:53 PM

I wonder if Obama still has his bus from the election.

DFCtomm on January 23, 2009 at 6:54 PM

Thanks, Michelle! The whole clip shows Reicschshah and Rangel formulating how they are going to force governors to obey them if they want to get the money! It is as she says: theft and extortion. And of course there wasn’t a Republican invited to this meeting.

Christian Conservative on January 23, 2009 at 6:54 PM

You’re all white nationalists for objecting and/or linking to something Malkin said. “eh” told me so.

Well said. One must remember that about half of this country does not approve or support the current Marxist regime and active dissent is a powerful force.

These are the same people that claimed all sorts of horrors from the Bush administration.

Here, the Hussein administration, is openly spelling it out.

Kini on January 23, 2009 at 7:20 PM

What if the skilled workers………

………… are Black, Women, Asian, Hispanic, Chinese, Alaskan, American Indian, Dwarfs, Handicapped, or Union Members, since there are Trillions in Government Grant and Training programs that already exist?

What’s left………………… White Males? Goodness Gracious, for the Love of God, you CAN’T hire any of them!!!

Reich is definitely not right

But..but…but… the bridge held when I made it out of paper in my garage! Why did it fall down and kill 80 people? Its not my fault!

– unskilled construction worker

CrazyFool on January 23, 2009 at 7:36 PM

Neil sounds like he has a cold.

Neil and Michelle both have an expression on their face like they were just fed another ‘poo’ sandwich….

Which they (and nearly all of the rest of us) were.

If I looked in the mirror right now, I rather imagine I’d see the same sort of expression.

Disturb the Universe on January 23, 2009 at 6:25 PM

Reich also states these are skills that relatively easy to learn. Typical liberal elite, assuming plumbers, electricians, road and bridge builders, etc., have jobs that anyone without an education can pick up with a couple hours of training.

the_nile on January 23, 2009 at 7:59 PM

Because some “Poor” who don’t earn this money, will spend the money as soon as they get it. They don’t exhibit fiscal responsibility. They want the money in the pockets of the folks who will spend it not save it or pay bills….so why not just send them a check, and keeping their inept – unskilled hands off our bridges? Lets stop playing pretend.

“Obstructionism is the new responsibility.”–MMalkin

Amen.I say AMEN!

Buckeye Babe on January 23, 2009 at 8:24 PM

I suspect the theme is to hire skilled workers for the
projects and at least 50% additional un-skilled “shovel-
leaners” to watch the work in progress.

gary on January 23, 2009 at 8:34 PM

It’s not about actually achieving goals but how failure in those goals makes you feel…..and how many votes you can buy.

jukin on January 23, 2009 at 10:45 PM

I love this country. Let´s spend billions of dollars on contracts that are forcibly awarded to those who cannot complete them on time or proficiently, thereby doubling the cost in the name of fairness.

What about the fairness to those of us who pay taxes to have these projects done?

Seriously, why do whites even vote for Democrats these days? I couldn´t imagine someone thinking ¨Yes, I want to put a party into power that is going to deny me a chance to make a living so that they can cowtow to their pet interest groups¨. This self-flagellation has to end.

Multibucket on January 24, 2009 at 12:05 AM

Stop teasing this sad, strange little man. He’s five feet tall, he has no neck, and he talks like Richard Dreyfuss doing King Richard in The Goodbye Girl.

I am sure the cool-ade will eventually start to wear off for some. Remember that Jonestown was about to be exposed when the “mandatory drinks” were passed out. If the same thing happens here, look for a vast sea of Obazomibie bodies piled up in the white liberal neighborhoods… and colleges.

As usual, MM hits another one on the head and it hurts the egos of the players.

The libs truly genuflect at just the picture of MM. They know debating her requires a delicate balance, because they are so wrapped up in being PC they cannot effectively communicate.

The libs also cannot understand why MM is not on their side, especially when all of color coding the left has created dictates she is a lib.

Well you win some and you loose some. We win you loose.

MSGTAS on January 24, 2009 at 9:59 AM

One,s again Michelle is the no nonsence true consev. Who always tells it like it is.Good work as always Michelle.

thmcbb on January 24, 2009 at 10:20 AM

Swell. Roberto Reich overlooked the old line that sums his racism up:

“No Irish Need Apply.*”

*Unless your name is Kennedy.

The ‘Kennedy exemption’ clause in this offer not valid in New York State.

Some restrictions may apply.

Orson Buggeigh on January 24, 2009 at 10:41 AM

Why does this thread have fewer comments than the virgin whore thread? Obama freezing whites out of his stimulus plan is much more important than whether or not one pathetic feminist is “open for business”?

Disturb the Universe on January 24, 2009 at 11:19 AM

Robert Reich you little homunculous, do you know who needs a good bitch slap?

Climb up on a step stool, look in the mirror, that is who needs it.

Mr. Joe on January 24, 2009 at 11:25 AM

Homuncluous Robert Reich, do you know who needs a good beating?

Climb on a step stool, look in the mirror.

Mr. Joe on January 24, 2009 at 11:26 AM

You white folks need to shut up and embrace what is right for once. :)

I wonder if dumbama knows the environmentalist lobby runs things like this? Ain’t gonna be no new bridge or highway building anytime soon. The economy will likely be on the rebound before any of that stuff even gets to the planning stage.

On a side note….does this make the bridge to nowhere a good idea now? It’s a job creator after all.

Kevin M on January 24, 2009 at 8:58 PM

If any of you Hot Air readers are raising a family or have any grandsons listen up: the Democrats in power have declared war on them if they are White.

Think about it: As much as you would HOPE for the best for them as they make their way into what should be a bright future, you have a Democrat government systematically discriminating against them and denying them what they earn.

First, the slaughter of the innocents. Now, the theft of your sons’ and grandsons’ futures, based solely upon race.
