Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), who recently professed to a crowd in Detroit that she, and the rest of the Congressional Black Caucus, are “supportive of the President but getting tired,” has returned to work out on the Obama heavy bag some more.
This time, in an appearance on “news” network MSNBC (where on-air personalities can invent fraudulent quotes with doctored video to slander presidential candidates, and yet keep their jobs), Waters declared herself low on patience for Obama’s fabulously expensive “green jobs” initiatives.
“Of course, we want to be part of the new innovation and green jobs,” said Waters, who should consider drinking tea in public and occasionally wearing a tricorner hat if she really wants to get Obama’s attention. “But you know, the green jobs have been about a lot of talk, and not a lot has been happening on that.”
Oh, plenty has been “happening on that,” Rep. Waters. Just this week, we had the story of a Seattle initiative that blew a cool $20 million in taxpayer money to create fourteen jobs. An even worse dollars-to-jobs ration was achieved at Johnson Controls in Michigan, where $300 million was spent to create 150 jobs to manufacture batteries for electric cars. Obama toured this plant as a “green jobs” success story earlier in August.
Practically every week brings a new story of a “green jobs” company declaring bankruptcy, increasing America’s carbon footprint by sending huge piles of taxpayer money up in smoke. Investor’s Business Daily surveys the wreckage:
Stimulus funds intended to boost the green economy haven't been well spent. The latest example of this is Monday's bankruptcy filing by Evergreen Solar Inc.The Massachusetts company that the White House once said "is hoping to hire 90 to 100 people" thanks to stimulus money has $485.6 million...

Maxine has made alot sense the this week.
Obama is so bad that even Waters is making (some) sense.
Maybe Maxine is not such a bad old crone after all.
Attack Obama and watch Maxine call you a racist.
She hasn’t changed one iota.
Damn! Isn’t it wild?
He should be concentrating on black jobs, not green jobs.
She’s not going to turn on Obama. She’s playing some angle here.
Maybe she wants Geithner’s job.

Green Jobs Predictions Proving a Pipe Dream

In the Bay Area as in much of the country, the green economy is not proving to be the job-creation engine that many politicians envisioned.

It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim.
Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth’s atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain.
I agree that she isnt turning on Obama but it will make for great entertainment and attack ads too.

“Maxine has made a lot sense the this week.”
She looked like she had been hit square between the eyes with a 2x4 with “OBAMA IS A LOSER, YOU IDIOT!!” stamped on it.
O well a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still can’t expect Maxine to be right more than twice a week . . .
I’m beginning to like Maxine...a little.
Conversely, Allen West mentions putting "everyone" back to work - opportunities for "all"
Maxine hasn't changed she is just wanting her handout
sounds like she’s more qualified to hold it than Geithner is
"Green" money goes more to white Libs, who are politically well-connected. She wants more of Obama's stash to flow elsewhere.
