Shovel Ready job update?

President Obama was given $850 billion for "shovel ready green jobs."

He later joked at a fundraiser "I guess those jobs weren't really shovel ready."

Where did all that money go?

Did anyone's community get that money for green jobs?

    My dog creates more shovel ready jobs with the poop she produces each day. "Green jobs" are a joke since for every green job created you loose two jobs!

    Most of it, >80%, went to people and organizations that support him and the D party. Barring legislation, green jobs will not become viable for at least a couple of more decades.

    We have tons of construction work here in California thanks to Obama and the dumb @ss red states that refused their share of the money.
