We need to understand what President Obana means when he uses the word job. There are two kinds of jobs: good jobs and bad jobs. Good jobs have one or more of the following characteristics:

1. Union, closed shop, with mandatory dues collection,
2. Public Service, esp. regulatory or bureaucratic,
3. Green,
4. Federally funded or guaranteed,
5. Prevailing Wage (Think Davis-Bacon),
6. Privately funded only if properly connected:
a.Crony,
b.Bundler,
c.Contributor,
d.Chicago Machine,
e.Relative of Dem.legislative leadership,
f.Favored minority.

Bad jobs have the following characteristics:

1. Non Union,
2. Red State, especially Texas or North Dakota,
3. Energy related, but not Green,
4. Privately funded,
5. Not diverse,
6, Profit driven,
7. Not paying Prevailing Wage.

And the very worst, (Really, really bad jobs):

8. A job that makes a rich capitalist richer. (You know, at some point you have enough money.)

“Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don’t get no spendin’ cash
If you don’t scrub that kitchen floor
You ain’t gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak
(Don’t talk back)”

(…. well, all the members of the Jobs Council did grow up in the fifties. Or so I imagine.)

8.5 million people took the Obama message to heart and left the workforce. Terrific.

The next level is managing to take over all remaining industries so that he can repay the remaining big donors with positions as Czars.

Obama’s Jobs Council accomplished it’s goal. It was Obama’s phoney-baloney was of making it look like he was concerned about our jobs – so that he cou;d keep his.

What can we say except that Neo-Stalinism works.

Obama is the George Washington of the New Generation. He cannot tell a lie. George Bush chopped down that Cherry Tree.

Positioning entire industries as being “evil” and “trying to kill you” will certainly help business, and the entire economy.

He met with the jobs council once--Once!--a year ago and totally ignored their recommendations. And why does he need it now? It did its job--provided him cover while he went along destroying the economy. When he said it would be a transparent administration, I guess he meant transparently phony.
