Obama Overpromised and Undelivered on 'Shovel Ready' Projects
Wed, June 15, 2011 at 16:57 I want to thank Karl Rove for reading The Snooper Report. Thanks Karly. One more example of We. Are. Finished. With. DC. - Truth.
It was more than a little jarring when President Obama joked during a meeting with his Jobs and Competitiveness Council in Durham, N.C. on Monday that "Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected." Everyone at the head table had a good laugh. After all, Mr. Obama argued for the $830 billion stimulus that America's governors "all...have projects that are shovel ready, that are going to require us to get the money out the door." And Vice President Joe Biden echoed the President, saying it "provides a necessary jolt to our economy to implement what we refer as ‘shovel-ready projects." The Obama White House understood "shovel ready" conveyed the sense of good construction jobs and that their constant repetition of the phrase would leave the impression the stimulus was mostly about building roads, repairing bridges, constructing runways, and extending rail lines.
