Thanks. That laugh made my day.

How much longer until Joe Biden credits Porkulus for the Hoover Dam, interstate highways, and Mount Rushmore?

Think how many people will be put to work when they decide to carve The One’s head on Mt. RushWantsmore

On the other hand, the President’s original birth certificate, transcipts, theses, and Illinois legislative papers… or for that matter, the military records of the “war hero” that the Dems ran last time… those are all just distractions!!

What is wrong with you people in the GOP?

The stimulus is working so fast it’s breaking the time barrier…

A wave of new loans, though, sounds like a repeat of what created the recession, said John Tyndall, a volunteer firefighter and corn and soybean farmer who attended the Biden event.
“They gave out loans to people who couldn’t pay ‘em back,” Tyndall said.

Another average American who knows how to cut through the BS… John the Firefighter!

But you don’t understand. The stimulus bill saved these jobs. That’s what Biden meant to say.

.
But you don’t understand. The plan is to save or create three and a half million jobs. Those jobs are all that will be available. The other 160 million will be gone.

And that 3,500,000 is about the size of the Federal payroll.

See?

When he does, he probably will call it Boulder Dam.

cream slime rises to the top in our new political system

There, FIFY!

Are we supposed to be surprised by this. Let me clue you in on what the next 2 to 4 years is going to be like. Obama, Biden and the democrats in congress are going to blame anything that goes wrong on Bush and try to take credit for anything that Bush accomplished.

The mantra from the press and Democrats throughout the current economic crisis has been that more “accountability” is needed. Well, this is yet another demonstration of why Fascism Doesn’t Work. Fascism places control of the economy under the least accountable possible actor, the government. You can’t even tell what the government did, or didn’t, do. How many people will be perfectly happy to believe this nonsense out of Biden, and will never know any different?

It won’t be hard for them to blame everything bad on Bush and take credit for everything good, as you say. We can hardly rely upon the media to blow the whistle on them. We all had a good laugh about the imbecilic claims that Obama’s policies will “create or save” X number of jobs, but the media will energetically help sell that kind of sloppy nonsense to the public.

Not only is it nearly impossible to hold the government to account for its mistakes, it’s nearly impossible to assess what it has actually done. A private industry would never be able to get away with what Biden did here, or what the Administration will do with increasing frequency over the coming years… if Ford tries to take credit for Toyota sales, they get laughed out of the room, and if Ford tries to claim their cars prevent male-pattern baldness, they get sued. Obama can claim virtually any aspect of a trillion-dollar economy is, or is not, his responsibility, and the voters would need PhDs in macroeconomics to know for certain if he’s telling the truth. Even the kind of obvious failure that would destroy a private industry can be spun as success by the government. Can anyone doubt that a $300 billion dollar loss at GM, accompanies by a 3% increase in minority car ownership thanks to Fannie Mae-style socially engineered loans, would be presented as a terrific victory?

He is just the distraction while the hardcore Socialists do their damage to the Nation. The decoy, kinda like chaff & flares on a warplane. Useful but disposable after his purpose has been served.

Wait, what? He didn’t earmark those items himself? Say it ain’t so, Joe!

He’s de facto president while Obama is out of the country.
