Well, damn, why not? Why it was really easy for him to get him his first real job, wasn’t it? All you gotta do is speak in platitudes, modulate you voice and speak in three-word sentence fragments. (Listen to him, the majority of what he says is delivered in three-word bites).

I cannot listen to him, makes me consider destrying my TV or radio,
Best I can do is read transcripts after the fact

Sheesh ... a few threads ago it was 3.5 million. But what kind of jobs are they??? Digging holes and filling in holes?

WTF? It was 3.5 million new jobs just a few hours ago. At this rate, unemployment should be zero by the time he takes office.

4 million of them are vote-counting jobs in Minnesota.

Has anyone ever thought of actually asking him where these jobs are actually going to come from and what these jobs will be?

I think it is time to ask a few questions of this guy and start holding his feet to the fire.

"Obama Says Stimulus Package Creates 4 Million Jobs"

With a margin of error of plus/minus 4 million jobs! That frikin' cocaine sniffer is only going to accomplish one thing: the single largest budget deficit in the history of the USA at over $1.2 trillion dollars. That record will only last one year when he beats his own record the following year, and each year after that.

These jobs that Obama says that he is creating are low level, ditch digger type jobs, not the kind of jobs that we are losing. “Shovel ready” means no engineering, no environmental reports, just labor.

I read an rant by a Black community organizer from Philadelphia who was angry because he said that Obama had betrayed the Blacks, that these aren’t jobs for African Americans, that Blacks are no longer the ditch diggers and construction workers, that these are “jobs Americans no longer want to do.”

Obama’s economic plan is Atlas Shrugged in real time.

One of our tvs committed suicide this week. Now I understand why - it couldn’t handle being a conduit for this crap.

His plan is certain to create 5 million jobs - at the expense of 10 million current jobs.

Unfortunately, you are right. That punk Obama has no business being president. I can't believe that a do-nothing community organizer is attempting to fix a capitalistic economy. Unbelievable!

...and the people that go for these jobs won’t actually DIG with the shovels, they’ll LEAN ON the shovels.

$775 billion for 4 million jobs over 2 years adds up to an average salary north of $96,000 annually. Pretty good for digging ditches.

Frankly, if they're going to spend that kind of money, it's better they give it to street sweepers than the da@ned bankers. At least, this way, the money will find it's way into the economy rather than offshore bank accounts.

Or, an even more random distribution would be for Obama to fly over the country and shovel money out of an airplane. That'd work just as well AND without the necessity of hiring a trillion new government employees to administer the program.
