Obama for America requests artists volunteer to help push “jobs” bill

Obama for America requests artists volunteer to help push “jobs” bill. Irony meter flashing red: OFA “is seeking poster submissions from artists across the country illustrating why we support President Obama’s plan to create jobs now.” Submissions, as in artists send them artwork and they send artists approximately nothing. Barry, get a clue: hiring artists to make artwork creates jobs (you’d know that if you ever had one.) He didn’t ask George Kaiser to submit a bankrupt green energy company, did he?

Internet poster: The total cost of Federal employees last year (incl. compensation) was $447 BILLION.

What is the total of 0bama’s Jobs Bill? Yes, $447 BILLION...

Not a coincidence.
