Issues that conservatives suddenly don't care about ..

[rightwinger]

You still don't get what "shovel ready" was. It was not a promise of jobs but a criteria states had to meet to qualify for federal funds. Only shovel ready projects could qualify.

That's what it meant? It sure wasn't explained to us that way.

Yes it was.......FoxNews just wasn't explaining it right

It had nothing to do with Fox, it was DumBama's own words. His term was "shovel ready" which only means one thing. If it was something else, then he shouldn't have used the term. He should have stated what he meant.

 

[RealDave]

That's $400,000. His commutes to Manhattan, plus security, will cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

You continue to be a dumbass Kool-Aid drinker.

You have no idea how many times he's going to Manhattan or where his wife is going to live. Everything is talk now.

How many trips before you're pissed off about it?

Why would I care how many trips he makes? Why would you? Oh, that's right, because he's not a member of the Democrat club, huh? No problems with DumBama flying all over the country (and world) half of the time to play golf though.

Wow Ray. So you won't care if Trump travels to NYC every weekend, travels to gold everywhere. But hey. you certainly had a freakin fit when Obama did it.

 

[mudwhistle]

now that Trump is elected , cons have quickly forgotten issues that really bothered them under Obama.

Debt/deficit : 20 trillion!! Bah, who cares . Let's build giant walls and double the military. Costs be damn !

Prez security budget: Obama couldn't go to dinner without a story of how it cost taxpayers trillions . Now trump will be commuting from DC to manhattan on a daily basis . That's cool!

States rights : sanctuary city? You
Must bow to the Feds directives , at your own cost!

What else ? I had more but forgot .

Republicans blocked infrastructure investment for eight years

We couldn't afford it and couldn't have Obama get credit for all those jobs.
Now, it is a cornerstone of Trumps agenda

Yep.....infrastructure investment.....a.k. STIMULUS? Shovel-ready Jobs?

Obama had no intention of INVESTING in infrastructure.

BTW, Investment = Raising Taxes

When Obama spoke of Transforming America, what he really meant was flooding the country with brown skinned foreigners and putting blacks in jobs they didn't qualify for.
When Obama spoke of Social Justice, what he really meant was organizing protests all over the country and giving blacks the idea that shooting cops is socially acceptable.

Republicans sat on it for six years even though it had the votes to pass

American Jobs Act - Wikipedia

1. Spending $50 billion on both new & pre-existing infrastructure projects.
2. Spending $35 billion in additional funding to protect the jobs of teachers, police officers, and firefighters
3. Spending $30 billion to modernize at least 35,000 public schools and community colleges.
4. Spending $15 billion on a program that would hire construction workers to help rehabilitate and refurbishing hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes and businesses.

Over $100 billion in construction jobs rejected by Republicans

It was a non-starter. Obama wanted to create a bank so he could more easily pilfer the Treasury. He wouldn't specify what the money would be used for. (Most likely funding groups like ACORN and Blacklivesmatter to fund more riots in our cities and register illegal immigrants to vote in elections)
He also wanted to extend out unemployment benefits even more reducing any incentive people would have to find employment. If the GOP had passed it, the unemployment rate would have stayed around 10% for a couple of years longer.

Shovel Ready meant one thing......Projects that were ready to hire people immediately.....not in three years

Funding was available to states that had qualifying shovel ready projects. Obama explained there were not as many projects ready as had been projected. States fault

Eight years? Leftists are such ignorant simpletons, just regurgitating whatever they read off The Huffington Post with the memory and perspective of a damn goldfish. Democrats had complete control over congress and the White House for nearly the entire first term. Democrats could pass their agenda without any Republican votes. Obamacare was literally passed without a single Republican vote--and Obama claimed it was bi-partisan which was a bold faced lie.

Democrats passed their "shovel-ready" stimulus--and it was all bullshit. There was not shovel ready jobs!!!!!!!!!! All you can do is desperately try to rationalize and blame republicans for the countless lies and the disappointment that is Barack Hussien Obama.

More revisionist history

Democrats had a filibuster proof majority for four months

How the Stimulus Fell Short

I spent three years reporting on the $840 billion stimulus plan that the Obama administration pushed through Congress in 2009. My conclusion: government can create jobs — it just doesn’t often do it well.

The stimulus — a historic package of tax cuts, safety-net spending, infrastructure projects and green-energy investments — certainly did a lot of good. As the economists Alan S. Blinder and Mark Zandi have noted, it’s one of the key reasons the unemployment rate isn’t in double digits now.

But the stimulus ultimately failed to bring about a strong, sustainable recovery. Money was spread far and wide rather than dedicated to programs with the most bang for the buck. “Shovel-ready” projects, those that would put people to work right away, took too long to break ground. Investments in worthwhile long-term projects, on the other hand, were often rushed to meet arbitrary deadlines, and the resulting shoddy outcomes tarnished the projects’ image.

He won't be accepting the salary he is supposed to get. See not in office yet and is saving us money already.

Will it be $10 Billion or $20 Billion net worth before you say he is insider trading..

Trump will take his salary in spades.... In a tin pot country in Africa it is called corruption...

He is legally exempt you twits...

Just keep contorting yourself to justify the failures of the Democrat party. Obama took his Democrat-controlled congress and let billions go to 'green energy' companies. Obamacare was nothing more than a payoff for healthcare software companies. It put a mandate on doctors to buy overly priced electronic health systems. The CEO of Epic, an Obama donor who visited the White House over 300 times, helped write the damn law. The democrats had their chance, and they blew it.

I've been telling you for years that Obama never tells us what he really wants to do, but the GOP knows pretty much what he wanted to do and it wasn't good for you or me.
