Let's see, Obama doesn't have a solution but he sure is full of jokes for the suffering public:

"Shovel ready jobs were not as shovel ready."
"There are bound to be bumps in the road..." (with the economic recovery.)

What next will he make just a funny joke as he tries to cover up and weaseel out of his failed policies and the disaster he has brought upon the thousands of unemployed?

Obama smiled and interjected, "Shovel-ready was not as ... uh .. shovel-ready as we expected."

The First Idiot may think that's funny.

Funny like a train wreck; or the Plague.

Of course, most of us already knew that, waaay before the hope and change thingie and gazillions$ wasted.

actually.... there were TONS of shovel ready projects...

BUT these were all projects that were already underway and being paid for with state funds that were promptly stopped while they waited for federal dollars to arrive to pay to finish them.

Very few if any NEW projects were started because of stimulus dollars, and the few that were started were jokes like high speed rail.

Under the “Ones’s” reign we are not supposed to survive as a country we would recognize.

Mr. President, you were not as ready as people expected either.

Nothing like having a liberal with no experience at the helm of the country, is there?

“This is what you get. An affirmative action hired by the voters as President needs a long period of on the job training. I don’t know if the country will survive long enough for him to learn his job.”

One thing our slacker pres_ent learned, a long time ago - you just have to show up - sometimes.

Affirtmative action people or presidents do not do on the job training, upon getting a promotion, they immediately start whining into the next one. Obama is clearly confused, since he’s not sure of then next job to whine for, so he’s playing golf instead.

The only "shovel-read" job is following DUh-bama after his speeches.
