Those stimulus projects – not so stimulating…

With the stimulus projects being described as “questionable” and of “dubious merit” – in some cases literally putting window dressing on abandoned houses – while unemployment skyrockets, Obama’s stimulus money is proving to be not-so-stimulating. …

I can think of a “shovel ready” project that would turn our economy around in a matter of moments, for less than $1,000.

I can buy Barack Obama a one way airplane ticket out of the country for less than a grand and he can put a sand castle shovel in his checked baggage.

I do think someone in the future will see this as one of the greatest frauds ever perpetuated on a gullible public.

It looks to me that Prince Obama “twitters” his speeches; Anyone on to that?

I just can’t help wondering if maybe someone lied to Speaker Pelosi about some
of the projects in the porkulus bill that she handed off to Mr Wonderful.
Nah, I worry too much, nobody would dare lie to The Speaker.

Seems to me that Hank Paulson got the ball rolling. He was on his knees (literally) begging Nanny to get the first bill passed. That was in the fall. Nan said the stinkin’ Republicans were holding it up. All of this fell nicely into the laps of the Dems, a couple of remaining Wall St. firms (mainly Goldman Sachs, Paulson’s alma mater, JP Morgan, AIG, etc). Nancy knew what was going on, and it was all by design.

Culture of Corruption?? Nah, no way.

I’ve heard the “detainie’s” have lost weight to, just imagine how much our figure could improve with all the specialty foods prepared by a chef and the great exercise programs. Not to mention that there is a cleaning a laundry service there also!!!

Sure a burka may be a little much but I’m in if I can lose a dress size or two.

Deleware to get $20 million to rebuild the “Katie’s Diner” that went out of business 20 years ago but Joe still goes to talk to constituents.

We just had to have this plan right away! We didn’t even have time for congress
to read it. (okay that’s nothing new) It wasn’t even Obama’s work, PELOSI wrote
it. She’s obviously really sharp, just a little problem with her memory and public
speaking, but that’s alright she’s The Speaker.
I can’t figure out why it’s not working.
Well at least Obama will get us a workable national health plan. He says it’s not
going to result in a single payer system AND it’s going to save us all a lot of money.
And then he’s going to tackle climate change.
I can’t figure out why I get so worried, this guy is the best evah!

If they were going to WASTE this much money, why not buy beer and at least have a party.

Instead of an exit strategy, we need an entrance strategy. I don’t cook (have the fire department on speed dial for when I do), therefore, I really like the idea of a uniformed cutie serving me food.

It took Carter 4 years to do what Obama had done, in 4 months. I don’t even think Carter was THIS stupid!!!

capejasmine on June 15, 2009 at 5:45 PM

Yup. And Jimmah was supposed to have an IQ of 145 or something. BO is supposed to be some sort of rocket scientist.

I love fairy tales as long as there are no political and economic consequences, don’t you? lol
