thanks to Obama, America is practically ready for a shovel if he is re-elected.

Obama wouldn’t know a job if it showed up on his teleprompter.

Hahaha, what an $800 billion laugh riot.

Too bad Pelosi and Waxman were not there to laugh along.

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?

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.

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?

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

***

That is not new if one were to listen to his wording they are all open ended.

Big example

I want to be to the Democratic Party what Reagan was to the Republican Party.

To one who is not stood or discerning it would mean to the Republican oh he is America first, conservative, for the constitutions etc.

To the morph Democratic Party (Lefties) Obama words would mean implementing the leftist agenda

When the American citizen say it is not working
Obama will say than we need to do more….

The citizen hears to do more may think to get it right, but in Obama’s world it would mean to continue to do more harm!

When he says things like it is working to the citizen they hear one thing, but to his voters it mean their agenda is working.

More of his words are open ended

Buyer beware!

Isaiah 5:20-30

20 ¶Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

26 ¶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens ther
