SIAP. had a hard time searching.

quote:

Over the past five years Republicans have opposed any and every attempt by President Obama to jumpstart the economy; particularly when it came to creating jobs. He also made, what Americans concerned about anthropogenic (manmade) climate change believed were, modest proposals to reduce carbon dioxide emissions; that is until he called for a thirty percent reduction in carbon emissions earlier this year. Republicans reacted to that news with their typical fossil fuel industry devotion by launching vicious attacks on the Environmental Protection Agency tasked with ensuring power-generating plants’ comply with the new requirements.


quote:

Yesterday, in one fell swoop, the President took decisive action to address both job creation for Veterans and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The White House announced that beginning this fall the United States will launch a six-year job training program for America’s Veterans in the growing solar panel installation industry. Since Republicans have relentlessly obstructed jobs programs for America’s Veterans, the President took it upon himself to enact the program at American military bases and provide job training for at least 50,000 veterans. It is training for about 50,000 more Veterans than Republicans have provided despite several proposals and requests by the President to help America’s fighting men and women returning from war.

I post this in large for the comments. Good Friday Fun!

I am not partisan. I have no faith in any politician, much less party. But this level of delusion is SpideyTuba-like in scope.

If the government can create jobs why aren't we at full-employment?

So many progressive ideas need good workers.

All I will say is that his record for waste in green energy is very high.

And job training help for vets is a good idea. Putting all 50,000 vets in one job sector is even by tuba standards a risky venture at best.

Is Solyndra back in business? Or maybe he's backing a new company, Ardnylos.

Obama is without a doubt the biggest fricking mistake this country has ever made. He gives the black race a bad name. His incompetence know no bounds. When this country is finally rid of him.....we will instantly be twice as better off as we were the day before!!!

Translation: "We're going to train Veterans in a field that's plagued with bankruptcies".

I can't tell if he really means well with this but doesn't understand the reality of the industry or if he's just trolling Veterans.

This speaks volumes of the retarded cluelessness of the White House. How insulting to veterans. I can see the clowns in the White House now,

Moron A:
"well we are about to gut the military so what do we do with all those ignorant war mongers"

Moron B: "I don't know, where are they getting jobs right now?"

Bureaucrat A: "Our statistics show there is high growth in the Oil and Gas sector and numerous associated industries"

Moron A: "Well this won't do, this won't do at all"

Moron B: "What if instead of Oil and Gas we find jobs for all of them in Solar"

Moron A: " I don't know I used Mexicans to install the solar panels on my house and they seemed pretty cheap"

Moron B: "It really does not matter, If we say we will create 50,000 jobs in the solar industry for veterans and then pre-empt any criticism by blaming the Koch Bothers or the Republican Party, our friends in the media won't call us on it"

Moron A: "Right, sounds good, call the President and let him know. Where is he right now golf course or watching sports center?"

I thought you guys would get a kick out of that one. When i started reading that (on FB of course), I was like a character in one of those animated gif scenes where someone starts to object or interject but the stupidity of what they're hearing is so complex, deep and wide that they're left speechless.

Eta: I did something I very rarely do and commented on the original article post on FB. I said something smartassed about getting stories from the Onion on FB even though I never liked the page. This woman actually seriously informed me that it wasn't The Onion. These are the literal-minded dolts we've been waiting for.
