The president has taken to the campaign trail to promote his American Jobs Act. That’s a good name for it: an act. “Pass this bill now!” he declared 24 times at a stop in in Raleigh, North Carolina, and another 18 in Columbus, Ohio, and the act is sufficiently effective that, three years into the Vapidity of Hope, the president can still find crowds of true believers willing to chant along with him: “Pass this bill now!”

Not all supporters are content merely to singalong with the prompter-in-chief. In North Carolina, a still-devoted hopeychanger cried out, “I love you!” Article Tab: image1-Mark Steyn: Obama’s magical thinking on green jobs

“I love you, too,” said the president. “But… .”

Oh, no, here it comes: conditional love. “But, if you love me, you’ve got to help me pass this bill!” You’d be surprised how effective this line is: I tried it on Darlene in the back of my Ford Edsel when I was 17, and we didn’t get home till two in the morning.

Thanks for posting—I LOVE Mark Steyn.

“Stimulus and Stimulusser”

“’Pass This Jobs Bill’ jobs bill”

“As Al Gore said in ‘Love Story’”

I just hate reading it out loud to my wife b/c I feel compelled to try the accent...

There are always a handful of reply posts from Barking Moonbats (BM for short) after the article on OC’s website.

This time, one, and a tepid “Republicans are bad, too” type at that.

Even the BMs are tired of Aethelblack the Unready now.

OMG....Obama has spent “$4,851,904.09 per “green job.”

I’m sending this to everyone I know!

We must STOP THE INSANITY IN 2012!

I'm half-way through After America, which is fantastic. I highly recommend it.
