Vice President Joe Biden today will kick off the Obama administration’s “Recovery Summer,” a six-week-long push designed to highlight the jobs accompanying a surge in stimulus-funded projects to improve highways, parks, drinking water and other public works.
David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, said: “This summer will be the most active Recovery Act season yet, with thousands of highly-visible road, bridge, water and other infrastructure projects breaking ground across the country, giving the American people a first-hand look at the Recovery Act in their own backyards and making it crystal clear what the cost would have been of doing nothing.”
Now, if Bush had declared such a gimmick and then the jobs numbers told everyone what a liar he was, the press would be all over him. Not so much with Biden and obama, they get a pass.
Of course, the most transparent president ever really doesn't hold press conferences anymore and the press really doesn't seem to mind that either.
