Even for President Obama, what he did today in Columbus, Ohio was audacious as he flew in from Washington, D. C. to tout-get this-saving 25, yes, 25 jobs for new local police recruits.Too bad that last month, 651,000 jobs were lost pushing the unemployment rate to 8.1%.
Yes, President Obama really took a helicopter ride from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base, hopped on Air Force One, went to give a speech in which he said that the 25 police recruits jobs were saved as a direct result of the so-called economic "stimulus" bill he signed last month.
The Globaloney Warming crowd has to be upset that he wasted so much fossil fuel to do this photo-op to push for more government spending.
But how could President Obama even dare to tout saving 25 jobs while Americans are bleeding in the private-sector economy? If anything, President Obama should be embarrassed doing what he did today.
It is not just the fact that Americans are losing jobs at a consistent clip. Many of those Americans are part of an investor class that President Obama is also throwing by the wayside by not coming up with a comprehensive plan to get the financial services sector back on track. So, they are losing their jobs and the money that they had invested in retirement, saving for their children and or grandchildren to go to college.
Too bad that his vaunted Treasury Secretary, Tax Cheat Timmy Geithner can't seem to find anyone to help him guide the S. S. Titanic of the economy through the choppy seas of recession. What, you did not know that he has 17 undersecretary posts to fill?! But, better than that. When Tax Cheat Timmy was with the International Monetary Fund in the late 1990s, he was trying to navigate Indonesia out of a financial crisis. Too bad that Tax Cheat Timmy screwed up and could not even figure out the problem correctly. If you do not believe me, as the former Prime Minister of Australia, Paul Keating. He ripped into the Geithner "solution" to the problem-again totally misdiagnosed from the get-go.
One of the aspects of the Death March of a presidential campaign that climaxed on November 4, 2008 was that then Sen. Messiah Barack did not have the kind of judgement to be an effective president.
So far, so good!
PRESIDENT OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE JUDGEMENT TO BE AN EFFECTIVE PRESIDENT!
In choosing Tax Cheat Timmy, he is guaranteed to dig a deeper hole that the United States will have an unnecessarily harder time getting out of. There is a great chance that Tax Cheat Timmy, with little or no help in the Treasury Department, will misdiagnose the problem and screw up big time.
But, while Rome burns and people are losing their jobs at a record clip, our president, Barack Obama, can take a plane ride to Ohio to say that he saved 25 whole jobs. WOW! Thank you, Messiah! Can you now wave the wand and bring back a few million more of those jobs?
Hype and the Same, Baby! Hype and the Same.

How could he NOT see the blatant wastefulness of that kind of self-congratulatory trip? Is he nuts?
On second thought, why WOULD he be concerned? It's not like the MSM would say anything negative about it, right?
"There is a great chance that Tax Cheat Timmy, with little or no help in the Treasury Department, will misdiagnose the problem and screw up big time."
You mean it's NOT due to greedy rich people who need to have their productivity confiscated?
It's NOT because there's not enough socialism?
Ha! Like anybody else has a better idea. Uh-hem.
