President Obama announced Friday that he'll create jobs of the future by building a "robust clean energy sector" following news that the unemployment rate remained stuck at 10 percent in December.
Figures released Friday showed that employers shed a more-than-expected 85,000 jobs last month as hundreds of thousands of people stopped looking for work altogether, reversing the slight gains from the month before.
Obama said the government would provide more than $2 billion in tax credits already approved by Congress to add some 17,000 green jobs for 183 projects to develop solar and wind power and energy management technologies.
The funding is part of the $787 billion economic stimulus package Congress approved early last year.
Obama said the unemployment rate is "still pointing in the right direction" despite job losses, which he said were one-tenth of the losses at the start of the year.

What a dunce. He and Algore are the only believers left in the Globull Warming Cult. Even the phony “scientists” are only in it for the money they can scam from Leftist governments.
Houston hasn’t been above freezing all day. We could use some of that warming right now.
You could bet the Climategate boys would be proud how they kept it from 11% rates.
Pray for America’s Freedom
Dreamer, its nice to sprinkle some bull... what he means is he wants to create a government agency to oversee greenness with 85,000 jobs.
What a Jerk! How much is this country going to have to suffer before this dimwit figures out that he can’t command and control this country into job creation. D**n Fascist.
Or as my cats say (unwilling to accept an Obama comparison)..."that dog won't hunt!";-)
No matter what wrapper made from bull excrement these scammer socialists put on it, EVERYTHING they do is about taking control of America, and turning it into a huge socialist dung heap — complete with all the Marxist trimmings.
So that's $117647 per job.
So the economy sheds 85000 jobs and the best 0bama can come up with is a plan to create 17000 jobs at a cost to the government of 117646 per job. What a dolt.
Green jobs=Brown shirts.
Brown Shirts= Obamas police force.
Oh, he gets it.. and he’s purposely sticking it to us!
OBOZO is a totally Absolute KENYAN VILAGE IDIOT and a MUSLIM RADICAL still living in the Eigth Century A.D.!
I used to at least believe OBOZO was reasonably smart, but this IDIOT has to be dumber than a Rock!....:-)
What a lame speech.
I’m sure that those seeking employment were highly encouraged by Obamas speech.
Not.
“Green” energy projects are well known to require fewer people, to build and to operate.
How in the hell do these morons keep getting away with this nonsense? What is a “green job? I guess it is anything you imagine it to be, because without definition it is a perfect job.
Understand this, energy and heat are the same word. Without heat there is no energy. A pint of energy in the form of fossil fuel is sufficient to blow up a house and burn it to the ground. A solar collector sitting in the sun all day can’t create enough heat to wash your dog. These green jobs are a fantasy for the mentally challenged. Green jobs are childish thinking. We need energy to keep from being Bangladesh. Drill NOW!
Woo Hoo!
We’re all getting Segway Human Individual Transports!
This is what you get when losers who have never created a job in their life try to create jobs.
They’ll send the “projects” over to China to be built.
