Obama's "shovel-ready" jobs.?
Do you think that the term "shovel-ready" was used because you need a shovel ready to shovel out all of Obama's BS?

and Mr.Magoo's an idiot.
Shovel-ready jobs are out there folks. But relying on the government to provide jobs is like relying on the Government to do just about anything. It costs entirely too much money for the government to do anything. Think about how much money Libs spent and how many jobs created. It cost $228,055 average to "Create or Save" one job. With that kind of cash in the pocket of people who will spend it wisely and will actually start a business that ONE job created by the government could have created one hundred jobs elsewhere. Seriously, over $200,000 per job? What the hell was all the money spent on? I'm sure they didn't pick some random guy and write him a check for that much. It would be nice though.

Nah, it was just his cutesy line of BS to get himself elected. Obama himself has no idea of how to use a shovel.

eliot k is correct.as for the presidents b.s.,he has done a good job.if you people actually look at all of the idiots that are going to run for office and listen to there b.s. we are in major trouble if one of these people get into office,things will get worse,not better.if romney gets in,he is a business man so when it comes to trying to balance the budget,a business man will just cut and slash with out a care for the people and what happens to them.we will go right back to the start of a recession all over again or worse.we are much better off with president obama in office,trust me.hope this helps.

No. It reflected the idea that many jobs that employed low and middle income earners could be funded and started quickly, which is what the economy needed.
However, it turned out that the theory could not be put into practice.
