Smoke and mirrors, that's all Barack Hussein Obama and his minions are offering. Reminds me of Bullwinkle. "Hey Rocky, wanna see me pull a rabbit outta the hat?"

Default Jobs for Ex-Offenders

Ella Baker Center : Green-Collar Jobs Campaign

Well it will be enough of them being released soon, and these jobs should not entice anyone to steal anything from the employer. I think this initiative is great, being that they have difficulties being employed after they have served their time and many were or have been rehabilitated if it was needed. The recidivism rate should decrease if they are given the opportunity to rebuild their lives after paying their debt to society.

That makes sense. So you say Obama's green jobs is basically giving green to lazy people on welfare? That sounds about right!

I think the Obama "energy plan" is summed up in three parts:

1. Blame Bush for everything.
2. Say McCain is Bush.
3. Say NO to every proposal to end energy slavery.

And of course, hope gas hits $10/gallon, so every peasant will have to ride the bus or drive a Geo Metro while Obama rides in V16 engine powered limos and private jets (with Al Gore).

Listen closely to Obama, and you do not hear about jobs. You hear about redistribution of income - his solution to energy is to provide subsidies to encourage people to remain out of the workforce. He does not want to create jobs, he wants to create programs which distribute money to certain segments of the population.
Heeeeeeey.... that is a good point! Obama probably knows once he is in with a Democratic Congress that they will effectively put America into a 1929 Depression and no one will have jobs. Sop everyone will depend on Welfare.

Makes sense.

Obama won't confiscate jobs. He will only make them disappear. POOOF!

Notice how Bullwinkle usually pulls something else out of his hat. The result is always trouble!

Your grandparents and parents would be proud. You are one smart cookie. Thank goodness we still have thinking Americans in this country.

Exactly correct. He wants to steal from those of us who work hard, earn decent money and give it away to those who wont work, wont obtain any skills, wont do anything to better themselves so they can make more money.
But this is what liberals do, they love to keep people down so they can control them easier.
Obama has a plan, but he NEVER gives the details. He cant because no one would go for his looney tune ideas because of his socialist robinhood steal from us and give to you ideas, he wont exactly tell us much.

Change--- ohh yea, how about making people get a damn job or two or three, or get a skill, go to college for free, heck, welfare scum get free college if they want it, free healthcare, free rent and they sure can sit around on their fat butts why couldnt they go to college for free?

The change we need is for the non working, non successful people to pay their fair share of our taxes, most of them rent, no taxes, most of them are on welfare, no taxes, most of them only pay a small tiny portion of a paycheck working at McDonalds into the tax base. This is the change we need, we need to redistribute by forcing the ones not pulling their weight into pulling their weight.

Its time for change, time for the lazy bags to pay their way and stop sucking off the rest of us.

Green jobs will take 30 years to develop so why waste our time Obama and money?

Didnt the dems control congress for 30+ years and they did nothing about energy then, so what makes anyone think they will now?
Just like you said with the oil drilling.

He keeps trying to sell this, except he does NOT say WHAT jobs these would be (what would these people do, what kind of training do they need, etc), HOW these jobs will be created (private investment? foreign capital? government?), WHERE they will be created (could be in China, for all we know!), and WHO will create these jobs (government? corporations)?

Finally, WHY would we need millions of people working on (unknown 'green jobs')???? We don't even know what a "green job" is!?!?!

Does anyone have any clues??? Or is this just another Barack Obama ploy??
I bet if you asked this to Mr. McSame he would no doubt set up another lottery of 300M for the 1st person to come up with it. Google Green Jobs and see what you come up with.
