It is not your job, and it is not the government's job to see to it that every American can find a job at some illusive "living wage."

THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT

Barack Obama was in Savannah, Georgia yesterday touting his HOMESTAR (sorry, couldn't stop myself from linking to that -ww) program. This is where he wants to offer $1,000 rebates to reward people who buy energy-saving equipment for their homes. These are the types of programs that Obama genuinely believes is going to turn the tide of this economy and create jobs for the millions who are out of work. Actually ... it goes further than that. Obama now seems to feel that his primary job as president is to make sure that people have jobs. Here's what Obama had to say in Savannah yesterday: (And for those of you who can't listen to the audio ... here's the transcript.)
"When it comes to domestic policy, I have no more important job as president than seeing to it that every American that wants to work and is able to work can find a job."
Now, correct me if I am wrong but it is NOT the president's job to make sure that Americans can find a job. In fact, Obama's job as president is to defend the Constitution of the United States. At least, that is what he swore to do when taking the oath of office:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
That's it, pal. Protect and defend this country and our Constitution - our rule of law. It is not your job, and it is not the government's job to see to it that every American can find a job at some illusive "living wage."
Back to Savannah, that's not all Obama had to say. He goes on to say, "That was my focus last year and that is my focus this year ... to lay a foundation for economic growth that creates jobs."
What the hell? Did Mr. Changey Hopey actually say that his focus last year was to focus on economic growth that creates jobs? If so, why did he spend the entire year scaring the absolute hell out of the small businessmen and women in this country who are responsible for most of our jobs with threats of tax increases, fines, penalties, increased regulations, government control of wages and benefits - not to mention threats of takeovers. No .... Obama's focus wasn't on jobs. Obama's focus was on one thing .. expanding and empowering government. This man walked into the White House believing that America's greatness came from government, and determined to make America greater (in his eyes) by making government bigger and stronger. How to accomplish this? By seizing control of almost one-fifth of the American economy .. health care.
PrezBO, by the way, was in Georgia yesterday telling saps who know no better that his wonderful stimulus plan has put 300,000 people to work in Georgia on various transportation projects. Then, a few yours later, we learn that Georgia has lost another 140,000 plus jobs in February. In case you haven't already figured this out, Obama lies; and when it comes to inflating the numbers of jobs "created or saved" by his free spending habits he lies more intensely than usual.
That's it. Year one was totally and completely dedicated to the cause of nationalized health care. Jobs? You've got to be kidding. The only jobs that Obama really cares about are government unionized jobs.
I simply cannot believe that there is any significant number of Americans out there who are still buying this man's nonsense.
