Why hasn’t Obama fixed the economy, ended the war in Iraq, caught Osama, given us all healthcare, etc.? That’s the sense you get when listening to these talking heads on TV.
But on a more serious note, since when is government jobs not jobs? I am really tired of hearing these Republicans say “this bill creates no jobs” and then “well it creates all these government jobs, but that is no jobs”. If working for the government isn’t a job then perhaps we should stop paying the Republicans in Congress. We sure wouldn’t want them getting a “job” feeling out of it.
And why is it now that we have to take all this time on a stimulus bill. The Republicans considered it heroic when John McCain suspended his campaign to “work” on TARP. So throwing a quarter billion at the banks is something that can be done overnight, but doing something for the working people needs to take months?
Perhaps the simple solution is to get more Democrats on the news shows bringing up these very basic points. Put the Republicans on the defensive and show the American people what idiots they really are.
