“I don’t get it!” – The entire Obama presidency in one anecdote. “Energy was a particular obsession of the president-elect’s, and therefore a particular source of frustration. Week after week, Romer would march in with an estimate of the jobs all the investments in clean energy would produce; week after week, Obama would send her back to check the numbers. ‘I don’t get it,’ he’d say. ‘We make these large-scale investments in infrastructure. What do you mean, there are no jobs?’ But the numbers rarely budged.” For a trillion bucks, you’d think he could buy a clue.

Remember the old 7-UP commercials? "Never had it, never will" that describes Obutthead to a "T". And it covers common sense, faith, economic understanding, and America in General....He never will get it, he'll get un-elected, and moan and whine about why did this happen to poor poor pitiful me? I am the smartest man in all of the 57 states...How could they not love me. A great example was Nanny Bloomberg getting booed during the Saint Patrick's Day Parade...Americans in general are fed up with this shit fer brains politicos who "don't get it".....
What is that thing about doing the same thing expecting a different result? Uhm... :-/
Hmm. I know! Democrat thinking!
Not. A. Fffng. Clue.
But it had to happen. Didn't it?
Little barry wanted it so much, it just had to happen.
barry, how could this be?
How about another $38.6 billion? Yea. That's the ticket.
Has anyone ever wondered what his IQ level is? He doesn't sound very bright to me.
Well, he is a Democrat so already he's pretty low on smart juice.
I cannot wait for the post presidency books to be published. Once he is out of power the long knives will be out. Bring it on, I will read them all.
Hail the emperor, whose delusional mindset of Marxists redistribution of wealth is destroying a once great country, his purchase a vote via taxation of workers, governmental grants and "gifts" to his green companies in exchange for political support. Obama's idea is return to a time where the lords and the ladies dictated the laws of the lands and the surfs toiled for a piece of the crumb, but as Michelle Antonetta would screech, "let them eat cake" Obama and his merry bands of corrupt career politicians are the greatest threat, foreign or domestic this nation has ever faced.
"For a trillion bucks, you’d think he could buy a clue." It was never his money so he really never had to take her number crunching seriously, (as long as his reelection wasn't up for grabs)...now it is, so he needs stall tactics news reports like: Trayvon Martin, Mizzz Fluke, the virtues of wind energy, et al...
Clue prices are going up faster than gas prices.
It's the law of supply and demand. There's hardly anyone out there with a clue.
