How the Stimulus Works
October 10, 2011 | Me

Posted on 10/10/2011 4:24:26 AM PDT by SMARTY

I got this e mail from my fried:



THE STIMULUS AT WORK!

Some have said that the stimulus hasn't saved any jobs,

but here is a case where at least one job was saved

Take for instance Oregon State University Athletic Director Bob DeCarolis.

Now Mr. DeCarolis was considering firing their

Basketball Coach....... Craig Robinson after an

8 -11 start (2-5) in the Pac 10 conference).

When word reached Washington , Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million in stimulus money for the university.

Thankfully,Craig Robinson's job is safe for another year

Now comes the interesting part of our story....

For those of you unfamiliar with Coach Robinson, he just so happens to be the brother- in -law of none other than our country's beloved President,

NOW YOUR CATCHING ON......

That's right he is the brother of Michelle Obama!

But hey, can't we all come to the conclusion that Coach Robinson's job security was all just a coincidence?

I'm sure of it .... Aren't You?

Thank Goodness For The Stimulus!!!

But $17 million for one job? What is your job worth?

Isn't it time for a CHANGE?

It would be interesting to see how many other universities recieved that kind of money to see if there was any quid pro quo.

I was wondering if her brother is proud of HIS country, now.

$17,000,000 for one job? Private enterprise (Karl Marx and the Democrats called it “Kapitalism”) can do millions of times better than that!

8-11 record. Seems like failure runs in the family.

Snopes says this is untrue.

HA! Try all of them.

As Rush Limbaugh has pointed out several times, Urkel's Self-Stimulating spending orgy is one huge money laundering operation designed to keep RAT constituencies in the fold.

Clouseau gives money to Unions, Universities and other leeches who divvy it up accordingly and return huge amounts back to Camacho's re-election campaing and The DNC.

It's a symbiotic relationship.

Or am I think parasitic?

I doubted this at first, but if Snopes is denying it, I need to give it another look...

I didn’t know that.

I guess, given the lack of character these two have shown in everything else, it was easy to believe

The other money laundering scheme is the federal loan guarantees to the green energy industry. The govt. loans millions and guarantees the money. The greenies bundle millions for the demonrats and the taxpayer is on the hook when the fraudulent industries inevitably fail.

You got that right. Did Snopes ever settle on which Honolulu hospital Obama was allegedly born in?
