So, Ma’am, what do you think about the president’s admission that “there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects”?

by

On the campaign trail, outgoing California Senator Barbara Boxer zealously defends the “stimulus,” legislation she enthusiastically supported, approvingly citing the White House claim that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would create hundreds of thousands of jobs in her jurisdiction.

Yet, nineteen months after it passed, unemployment in the Golden State has surged.  And now, according to the New York Times, we’ve got a reflective Obama “admitting that he let himself look too much like ‘the same old tax-and-spend Democrat,'” and realizing “too late that there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects’“.

No such thing as a shovel-ready project? Um, Ma’am, ma’am, what about the “stimulus” offering “help and hope”, putting “Californians to work now building the highways, bridges, transit and rail systems, and renewable energy sources of the 21st century.”

The words in the paragraph above are those of the 28-year Washington veteran.  In her release, she emphasized them all.  I highlighted just one.

And she’s not only been mum about the president’s recent admission, she’s also not talking about the tribal legislation she moved benefiting her son.  Nor is she talking about the “diplomatic courtesy letters” she helped secure for Code Pink, allowing that radical group to travel to Fallujah, Iraq where they reportedly “delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies to the very insurgents the Marines had been fighting against – quite literally giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies in a time of war.”  (Via Gateway Pundit.)

The left-wing group has returned the favor; its “website repeatedly praises “our beloved Barbara Boxer“.  Ma’am, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do.

Instead of waiting for a straight answer from this hyperpartisan politician, join me in helping the woman seeking to replace her in the United  States Senate?

  1. Senator Boxer’s answering machine is unavailable for comment; therefore, Animal from the Muppets will be her spokesperson: MA MA MA Ha Ma! Senator Boxer’s answering machine stands by Animal’s comments.

    Announcing his energy team, Obama beams about “shovel-ready projects all across the country.” Unveiling his choice for education secretary, Obama plugs his plans “to start helping states and local governments with shovel-ready projects.”

  3. Sure there is such a thing as shovel-ready projects!

    Just hand out shovels and paychecks. Pay people to walk out to a field, dig a hole, then fill it up again. Spend $900,000,000,000 paying 9,000,000 unemployed people each $100,000 per year. That will stimulate the economy, which BUSH and you evil Rethuglicans are out to shut down!!!1!1!! And it will all be socially just and create NO inflation, because every unemployed person DESERVES to be given 100,000 of new dollars printed from thin air, just for breathing! Money does grow on trees! Printing money from thin air is what makes nations rich! Obama and Ben Bernanke say so! Just like Monopoly money, wheeeeeeeee!!!!

  5. the “diplomatic courtesy letters” [that Boxer] helped secure for Code Pink, allowing that radical group to travel to Fallujah, Iraq where they reportedly “delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies to the very insurgents the Marines had been fighting against

    I didn’t know that. That may be the straw that pushes me into making a Fiorina donation.

  6. I’m sorry, if the Gateway Pundit link is accurate, her and Kusinnich should be shot. I mean aid and comfort to the enemy goes back to John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, but gods…

  7. I was astounded the other day when Obama talked about billions for infrastructure …… failing bridges needing fixing and such. How could there be any infrastructure problems so quickly after the trillion dollar fix last year? Didn’t ACORN, the union pension funds and the teachers get those things fixed and humming?

    Have we been misled somehow by the Obamessiah?

  8. “I’m sorry, if the Gateway Pundit link is accurate, her and Kusinnich should be shot.” Damn right! I hadn’t heard of Code Pink’s little rendez-vous with the enemy in Fallujah. As the niece of a Vietnam War Marine, I’d choke the life out of all those Code Pink bitches and their “beloved Barbara Boxer” if I could get my hands on them! Frag all those fucking, dirt bag, pond scum, inbred, mutant traitors! And blow up all their houses!

  9. A little overkill Seena Anna, Trial then sentencing preferably by firing squad.

    It’s one thing to redress the government for grievences, it’s another to work inside the structure for change. This, this is giving aid and comfort to the enemy and is treason.
