I work in a big firehouse where there are a bunch of Obama fans. It seems like everytime Obama was on TV the goons would turn it on, and try to insist everyone watch. This would happen even when we were trying to eat dinner. Now even the biggest fans don’t seem to want to hear him anymore. The same old lies get kind of tiring after a year. He said he was going to create “millions” of “green” jobs which he didn’t do, but he did manage to put tens of millions of people out of work.

Glad they stopped watching, for your sake. Your job is hard enough!

I teach college English. When I touch on rhetoric, I emphasize that a person’s authenticity and character (ethos) are the basis of persuasive argument. B.O. may be able to READ well, but he is inauthentic. Technically, as a speaker he does some irritating things, too. His whistling s’s send me looking for a pillow to put over my head. The mere cadence of his voice—the dropped ends of sentences—is a turnoff. I suspect the firehouse fans unconsciously recognize all of this.

The whole “green jobs” thing was a joke. First of all, the technology doesn't work. Second of all, even if it did work, all those “green” solar cells or whatever can be assembled for 1/100th the price in China.

There never was and never will be any chance of any green jobs being created here, as long as unions and free trade exist.
