Green jobs, green jobs, green jobs - where were the green jobs in the Obama jobs plan speech delivered to Congress last night? A glance at the plethora of material put out by the White House doesn't immediately suggest green jobs, which the President glazed over last night, were on his agenda. If you look, and listen, closely though, you do see some green poking out of the $447 billion American Jobs Act.

You can be both green and shovel ready if you interpret:

the green stands for government cash
the shovel stands for the bovine scatology they sling.
