UPDATE: Good one (via Instapundit):
I've just gotten to the point where I'm just disgusted with our president. He can say that building a major pipeline will only create 50 permanent jobs, ignoring the thousands of temporary jobs in construction--as all construction jobs are--and worse, his audience applauds the line!
Is our president really that dumb? Is he that dishonest and dismissive of the intelligence of his supporters who he expects to buy that line? Are his supporters really that oblivious?
It's amazing. He tells us that government stimulus spending had a multiplier effect on creating jobs; but the private sector construction industry has a negative multiplier effect several orders of magnitude in size.
How many more days left?
