Targeted investments in vote infrastructure: Unions, ACORN-like community groups, National Lawyers Guild, Planned Parenthood. The core infrastructure of our nation.

Based on her experience where? Or for that matter, based on what experience of anyone in the Regime?

Not one of them has ever held a real job, let alone created one.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

“Targeted Investments” means taking your money and giving it to Crony Capitalists and thug unions that support the Democrats.

Got it in one try!

It kills me that all of my Dim acquaintances here in NoVA don't grasp this.

“Isn’t the word “targeted” now hate speech?

Please Mr. President stop the vitriol”

Good catch. The article is filled with violent rhetoric. Jarrett not only wants to “target” investments, she also wants to “cut” the budget. Such violent rhetoric.

Yet it appears to be bipartisan. McCain is quoted as wanting to “slash” spending.

You think Jared Loughner read this article?

Oh yeah, just as soon as we invest in a little more infrastructure and create a few more sociology grads, businesses will start hiring like crazy!

Translation of Obama:
I’m going to give taxpayer dollars to incompetent corporate executives
like Immelt of GE.
They’ll hire some folks for “green jobs”, I’ll get to give rah-rah
campaign speeches at the new factories.
And come the next election, the corporate suits will kick back billions
of their taxpayer funds to my second presidential campaign fund.

Sweet!!!
