Obama Proposes Sweeping Public Works Program

Sorry, I didn't have time to read past the headline. How much am I being paid per hour and do I get a gubment broom or do I have to supply my own?

A new New Deal?

Careful, folks. Next thing you know, he'll be shipping you half way across the country to work in a Civilian Conservation Camp. Of course, he'll be glad to pay you just like FDR paid, $10.00 a week plus 3 hots and a cot.

It is my opinion that Americans have no right to complain about anything. The past experiences should be an example as to how far we can trust our public officials. From the election of George W. Bush to the war in Iraq, these all are examples of Americans not taking control of their country. How stupid can you get? Hey I am still waiting for them to show me any weapons of mass destruction, hey!! seen Osama lately? I heard he was living in Detroit... Any way how foolish do we really look to the rest of the world? We became pompass asses thinking we were better than the rest of the world. We are a greedy irresponsible nation and it would not do us any harm to suffer a little, maybe, just maybe when we are blessed again we will appreciate it more. I believe any freedom that you do not protect and cherish then you do not deserve it.
Good luck President Obama I just hope that you are the real deal.. As far as G W Bush is concerned, America should show how much she loves freedom, and charge old George with High treason. But of course we will not we will just talk about how much we love freedom and forget about the young boys and girls who thought that they were really fighting for freedom and human rights, don't their lives mean anything ? Is America so weak that she will not even avenge her own children. We will send our kids to die in a desert far away in a foriegn land based on lies. The man who knowingly lied is allowed to enjoy the good life. And someone has the audacity to question Baraks citizenhip they don't deserve their own, how dare them, I served my nation for ten years I speak the truth now when I say I am ashamed of this nations people. I pray that maybe this man who we have elected will be given the chance to bring us together as a nation. This nation was built on the backs of black Africans so won't it be ironic when an African brings this nation back to her glory. This time it will be based on truth not the lies and not the blood of oppressed people. I hope not to offend those like myself who really despise what has happened to The Great United States of America, We shall overcome..

Overhaul welfare to require receivers of it to work for the state government. No more sitting on your ass and getting tax payers money. That's got to go, you're only creating hatred for the people that do nothing. While others work hard and have to pay into a program that SUPPORTS non working individuals, it's embaressing for the indigent and enraging for us that pay for it.

Why in the hell do we need any info from an aol liberal puke speaking of the obamamessiah and a "weekly YouTube address Saturday the president-elect announced a massive investment in the nation's infrastructure that he hopes will create (or save) more than two million jobs. Obama wants to improve roads and schools, make public buildings more energy efficient and increase access to the Internet."

So, tell me Herr Weber, where is the "BEEF" in all of these "Promises"?? Sounds like the same obama campaign rhetoric, with NO SPECIFICS to me!!!!!!!!!!!
If Barry and His Campaign Had Not "PLAYED THE RACE CARD" Throughout The Election, DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT AMERICA WOULD BE FACED WITH AN INCOMING PRESIDENT....THAT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT????????
He's "almost black" so good enough for me, I have "White Guilt-Coz They Told Me That I Do", and let's make history" GOD BLESS AMERICA...PLEASE!

The Public Works Program will not happen
if it is proven for a fact that Obama
is from Kenya. It has massive
consequences, especially in the military
Just think, deployment orders coming
from an illegilment Commander-in-Chief,
Dr. Strangelove. Scary stuff!!!

He is so full of crap.How does he expect to pay for all this?I am so sick of the "green" business. It is a bunch of junk that is going to reap millions for someone like "The San Francisco Treat" nancy Pelosi who along with her husband has ownership of some sort of green business,but will be pocket picking for the rest of us. Green is not affordable. Changing ones heating to solar,or wind,or geotherman is not affordable at all to the regular person. Green vehicles are horrendously expensive. Our electric and gas rates have went up terribly in Michigan.Obama doesn't want anyone to keep their place warmer than 72 although I would imagine that his place is kept pretty comfy.

The New New Deal comes as no surprise to me. I am old enough to remember the Old New Deal when my family went back to eating three times a day.

___________________How is it even remotely possible that after 2 years of traversing the country talking about himself, two soul-searching and revealing books, dozens of books ABOUT him, journals and other media devoted to examining him, all the highest vetting and scrutiny possible, that anyone can claim to not know Obama? What will it take? Who else has ever been put this closely under a microscope?

He never, not once, played the 'race card'.

B O IS A D LIAR- WE ARE IN A RECESSION-HELLO, THE
PLANS HE IS TALKING ABOUT TAKE MONEY WHERE IS THIS
COMING FROM THE PEOPLE, LOL-THE PEOPLE ARE UNEMPLOYED
AND CAN YOU HEAR ME THAT MEANS NO MONEY. OH YEH THAT'S
RIGHT HE GOT ALOT OF MONEY TO BUY HIS WHITE HOUSE
POSITION- HE CAN USE THAT HA HA HA. DON'T HOLD YOUR
BREATH. THIS GUY IS A LOSER AND TIME WILL SHOW THAT.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN THE
MILITARY COUNTRY FIRST.

Dear David White,
We need a couple hundred thousand more like you.
Thanks for your eloquent comment.

Dear David White,
We need a couple hundred thousand more like you.
Thanks for your eloquent comment.
and I will say just 46 % after that this will be a sane and inteligent country !!!

To David White - David you posted a very nice comment and I agree with many things you said. I also have to disagree with a few.
You wrote "And someone has the audacity to question Baraks citizenhip they don't deserve their own, how dare them."
David, if you take away our right to ask or inquire about Obama's citizenship then aren't you taking away one of our freedoms? If we don't ask when we have a question doesn't that fall into your examples of Americans not taking control of their country. It's a constitutional issue and the constitution should be protected by every American.
You wrote "This nation was built on the backs of black Africans".
No it wasn't David. This nation was built on the backs of the people who fought for our freedoms. The men and women of many races who put on a uniform and fought to keep America a free nation.

You build a pyramid from the ground up, not from the peak down. Every president since Reagan has somehow been unable to understand this simple, but obviously true principle. Money - well maybe if we didn't "bailout" the 400 richest people in the world, there would be plenty of money to get such programs up and running? These 400 people BTW, make more money then the next 150 million people COMBINED!
Obama wasn't my first choice for President, but he clearly understands what's needed if we're going to try and rebuild America.

Guess who is going to get these jobs? Illegal aliens. Obama wants them to have amnesty. Quess who is going to subsidize those jobs? Poor and middle class Americans and legal immigrants who wages have been depressed by the illegal immigrants.

*why wouldn't obama proof he's born us citizen if he can? with media, lawyer associations, harvard, chicago behind him he'll never be vetted. his speeches are a beautiful quilt of other people's speeches. usa is unworthy of mccain security palin surplus because usa is spineless, screwup, sinful, souless, scum that wronged a mccain. usa is the evil empire voodooed hypnotized by the demo/lib & beyond help. supreme court should disqualify the obama/biden ticket & declare mccain/palin the winners but they won't because obama/bidden are lawyers & they stick together. evil supreme court.
*blackwater - we'll find no one to work for usa as police or soldier if they can not do whatever in self defense - liberals will make sure usa is policeless & soldierless. anyone can kill in self defense even in one's own peaceful country let alone in a war zone among enemies. how mccain & all our other heros are treated - who'll enlist anymore.
*preserve america - always white christian country not obama muslim kenya, not jindal hindu india, obama should never be president because of his look. YES. look. can't imagine chinese ruling sweden or bush as japanese emperor or ... usa is ridiculous silly crazy laughing stock of planet earth. for the first time in my adult life i'm ashame & sick of my country. puke faint.

REFORM welfare, WIC and all other give away programs to require the recipients to work AND have a MAXIMUM time limit on how ong any one can receive aid from these programs!Have another child, less aid NOT more.

MICHELE OBAMA BOOT CAMP FOR RADICALS ATTENTION IF YOU ARE BETWEEN 18 AND 30 YEARS OF AGE MICHELE OBAMA AND BARACK WANT YOU , READ HOW THEY REWARD YOU FOR YOUR VOTES SOUNDS LIKE SLAVERY TO ME , http://www.squidoo.com/Neo-Marxism-in-America

What bothers me most is all those in this country who are not at all interested in what is going on, as long as they get their part. The Apathy in this country is growing more and more, until the citizens in this country realize GOVERNMENT is the PEOPLES responsiblity, as the Constitution states, the PEOPLE are responsible to do something if Government gets out of control, man are they ever out of control. While we suffer the rich get richer, as BUSH buying a $2.1 Million home in Dallas as many Americans are loosing theirs, does he even care? He is the man who pushed WMD in our faces, lied, cheated, make laws to satisfy his own adgenda, and he is the one who refused to admit there even was a recession DAH !!
I want to know what the hell was his cabinet and alll the Secretaries of all the Departments doing during all this time? Why are they even still in their positions? Because no one cares, APATHY takes charge once again. I have almost given up my self
