Topic: Decline of the West
The President of the United States doesn’t seem to think much of the intelligence of the American people. Why else would he say that extending the payroll tax cut and shelling out more unemployment check will create more jobs than a major construction project like the Keystone oil pipeline?
Obama made this fantastical claim as he killed the pipeline project, whining that those obstructionist Republicans were picking on him again. “However many jobs might be generated by a Keystone pipeline,” the Prez intoned in his plumy baritone, “they're going to be a lot fewer than the jobs that are created by extending the payroll tax cut and extending unemployment insurance.” The only thing shovel ready about this administration is the pile of rhetorical crap behind the presidential podium.
