I missed Clintonite moldy oldie-turned-Obama economic adviser Robert Reich’s testimony a few weeks ago on how the government should spend federal stimulus money. The Berkeley professor engaged in academic fantasy land talk about getting all the cash out to workers as quickly as possible — a pipe dream debunked by the CBO report I mentioned in my column yesterday.
Even more noteworthy, however, were the comments Reich made about which workers deserve the stimulus bucks most. Reich’s proposal exposes the lie that the Obama administration is actually interested in revitalizing basic infrastructure for the good of the economy. No, what Team Obama really wants is to ensure that the least skilled, least qualified workers get jobs based on their chromosomes and pigment.
Reich wrote on his blog:
The stimulus plan will create jobs repairing and upgrading the nation’s roads, bridges, ports, levees, water and sewage system, public-transit systems, electricity grid, and schools. And it will kick-start alternative, non-fossil based sources of energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and so on); new health-care information systems; and universal broadband Internet access.
It’s a two-fer: lots of new jobs, and investments in the nation’s future productivity.
But if there aren’t enough skilled professionals to do the jobs involving new technologies, the stimulus will just increase the wages of the professionals who already have the right skills rather than generate many new jobs in these fields. And if construction jobs go mainly to white males who already dominate the

What a horrible thing to say! Wonder how all those union white males who voted for Obama feel about now.
It's a sure thing.

Really stupid man. Should be charged with racism and prosecuted.

Makes sense - give it to the most unskilled and stupid workers instead. (That would be only "fair"!)
On a related note:
Obama has frozen the pay for White House employees earning over $100,000 a year.
I wonder if Reich understands how stupid he sounds. We all love driving over bridges built by unskilled and unqualified workers.
I’m gonna try to corner the rope market.
I would say how this is racial discrimination but who are we kidding. They don’t care!
Obama voters are to stupid to understand they are being taken advantage of.
I just saw the vid and it made me want to puke. But, get use to it...the freaks are the show.
And pitchforks and torches. Geez these people deserve to be run out of town on a rail.
Bring on those affirmative action brain surgeons.
White guilt in the ivory tower. Well, Professor Reich, it doesn’t take very much to train people to spout demagogy as a tenured professor on the Berkeley campus either. Some of the street people there could easily do your job.
judge them by the color of their skin!
welcome to Obamanation
cheaper just to send $20,000 ton each of the poorest 3 million families
Harrison Bergeron ping.
Racism is now out in the open.
Racism is and has been promoted by all levels of government for the last 40 years [can you say race quotas in government procurment and employment?]
It time for the obvious.
White folks need to strart voting for their own self interest and ignore lying dog RINOSs and the MSM race huslers!
Liberal Translation:
“The purpose of this money is to buy as many votes as possible, so of course we’re going to keep it from getting into the hands of anyone who might not be fooled by this fraud.”
By “skilled professionals” is this bastard referring to people like construction workers and mechanics, you know, those people who actually know how to work for a days wages and have the skills to get the job done because they aren’t living off their girlfriend’s welfare check? Lord, what nerve that guy has. All of a sudden the working class is referred to as “professional?” are they trying to create class wallfare against those poor slobs who actually work for a living?!!!!
