Candidate Obama promised more green jobs, which have turned into nuclear jobs. Jobs that are neither clean nor green. Eighteen million dollars of his green initiative were spent to design better oil drilling bits to aid the wealthiest corporations in the world. His nuclear initiative contains eleven million dollars for litigation over the nuclear plants, or one and a half times what the UK government spent for real green jobs. I'm sure the attorneys will be counted as jobs created, as well.
What we have here is a classic case of salesmanship over workmanship, beltway politics over breadbasket hunger, statistics over people, and forgetting that statistics don't vote. Or as Bill Clinton once advised, "It's the economy, stupid!"
"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." John F. Kennedy
