Honesty In The White House: The Fraud-In-Chief Admits To Trillion-Dollar Theft
In a day when our National Economy & the future of every man, woman, & child in America is being systematically and intentionally stolen and destroyed by the lying DC Criminals (Ex-Bankers) and their Banker Masters... honesty is a rare commodity indeed.
The Liar In Chief has finally uttered his first 8 honest words since TAKING (literally) Office...
”There’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.”
Big surprise... another Trillion Dollar Theft.
He delights in rubbing our faces in it all...
The Obama Buzzword That Hit Pay Dirt

The image is positively retro.
Picture a sweaty brow, rolled-up sleeves, knotty forearms, calloused hands. Picture virgin land, just waiting to be transformed.
Shovel-ready land.
This is America on the eve of the Obama era.
Shovel-ready.
He keeps telling us so. On "Meet the Press," fill-in host Tom Brokaw wants to know how quickly Barack Obama can create jobs, and the president-elect promises to move fast. After all, he says, he's met with a bunch of governors "and all of them have projects that are shovel-ready."
Announcing his energy team, Obama beams about "shovel-ready projects all across the country." Unveiling his choice for education secretary, Obama plugs his plans "to start helping states and local governments with shovel-ready projects."
So many shovels.
All of them, apparently, quite ready...

Obama: ‘No Such Thing’ as a Shovel-Ready Job
Posted on October 13, 2010 at 4:49pm by Meredith Jessup
During an interview with New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker (set to run in this Sunday’s Times Magazine), President Barack Obama reflects on his first two years in office and offers predictions for the next two, possibly sharing governing power with congressional Republicans who are poised for major gains.
Obama predicts his political rivals will either fall short of their midterm electoral goals, or feel over-burdened by the new responsibilities that come from achieving them.
“It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they [Republicans] feel more responsible, either because they didn’t do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying ‘no’ to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn’t work for them,” the president said. “Or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way.”
The president has offered a number of his own “serious proposals,” not the least of which was the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The underwhelming fallout from the $787 billion investment is one of many reasons the American public is challenging the Democratic leadership this year.
In reflecting on his time in office, the president laments that he looks too much like “the same old tax-and-spend Democrat,“ and realized that ”there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.”
No Boost to Construction From Stimulus
But the promise of these “shovel-ready” jobs was one of the Democrats’ main selling points in lobbying for the stimulus plan. In December 2008, the then-President-elect Obama pledged, “We’ve got shovel-ready projects all across the country that governors and mayors are pleading to fund.
And the minute we can get those investments to the state level, jobs are going to be created.”
Just one day later, the president-elect presented his ideas for a “bold agenda” of “shovel-ready projects,” promising the creation of 2.5 million new jobs when he took office.
In March 2009, President Obama boasted that just “14 days after I signed our Recovery Act into law we are seeing shovels hit the ground.”
At the same time, Vice President Joe Biden, the White House’s de facto stimulus shepherd, said the stimulus act “provides a necessary jolt to our economy to implement what we refer [to] as ‘shovel-ready’ projects, meaning projects that were on the books that were needed in the municipalities and the states that would improve the quality of life for our constituents, the competitiveness of our businesses, but were unable to be funded.”
Months later when the economy hadn’t begun to turn around, Obama continued to promise “shovel-ready” jobs. In August he bragged that the stimulus helped fund “almost 100 shovel-ready transportation projects… which are beginning to create jobs.”
A year later, Biden continues to parrot the White House’s claims that “shovel-ready” projects were putting Americans to work, despite stagnate unemployment levels. “Last summer… we had 1,750 highway projects that were underway — ‘shovel-ready,’” he said this summer...
