I don't know why it took so long for this to surface but here it is:

Obama - “Infrastructure has the benefit of for every dollar you spend on infrastructure, you get a dollar and a half in stimulus because there are ripple effects from building roads or bridges or sewer lines. But the problem is, is that spending it out takes a long time, because there’s really nothing — there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.”

So once again a slogan Obama used to push a program....in this case the Porkulus Bill...proves to be total bullshit.

File this one in the same circular file as "The Summer of Recovery".

I think he assumed shovel ready was a snap. I don't think he realized whats involved in getting a project TO SHOVEL READY.

Community Organizer, Harvard Law Professor Yup.

Real World?? Nope. Didn't have a clue. At least he admitts he didn't have a clue.
 
:lol::lol::lol:

what a total LOSER.

and he suckered all them people who voted for him out of billions of dollars to boot..:lol:
 
Have to give him points for admitting he was wrong. But take them back for lying.

He, as a community orgaizer, had to know that unions will drag thier feet skimming money off the top researching what kind of shovel would be needed.

There are shovel ready jobs, he just couldn't look outside the unions or government for them.

The White House hires interns so they can get some OJT, the President should not be one of them.
 
There would be plenty of shovel ready jobs in america if did not use so many bulldozers and such on construction jobs.
In China you see lots of people with shovels and few with bulldozers.

Be careful what you wish for you might get it.

How come the bastard didn't know that when he was out there selling us "shovel ready" jobs? How's that for smart? Asswipes on the left think he's smart! :cuckoo:

Bet you wouldn't cut Bush that kind of slack when those Speck 4s beat up those prisoners in Abu Grab.
 
Obama is smarter than our last president, However he is a product of the machine and is clueless about what to do.
Ohh and btw he IS a politician so is never to be trusted.

:muahaha:Shovel-ready is the phrase used for a construction project ready to start once funding is provided.

It doesn't mean they'll exclusively be using shovels.

:slap:

How the fuck do you know. He won't release his college transcripts so we can verify that?

You're talking from an assumption.

Umm you have not watched or listened to his speeches, etc?

Bush was a post turtle.

The chinese are little more than slaves. And those jobs are thought to keep them happy.

Terrorist need to be dealt with, if they have info that will save lives, they need to be dealt with harshly.

I am not against waterboarding, it doesn't leave any marks. long or short term pains. And it has saved lives.

If some prisoners got beat up by the Officers over them, then the officers are accountable.
