Road Constuction = Job Growth?

So B.O. has recently stated "We're going to continue to explore each and every avenue that I can think of that will lead to job creation and economic growth."

First off, this so clearly evidences that B.O. has deluded himself into believing that he has all the options and ideas we need as a country up in his Kenyan head.

Nevermind the fact that it is a lie. Specifically, that he will in fact look at all options. If that were the case, he would suddenly resemble Ronald Reagan, cut taxes, spurring the economy.

As a nation, we are still sitting around the high end of single-digit unemployment. Many cities have hit double-digits.

Yet somehow, B.O. thinks that we are moving the right direction, touting 5,000 road construction projects as a major accomplishment.

Sorry, road construction doesn't help the employment situation of the guys I know in the auto industry, mortgage industry or in marketing and advertising.

But by all means, let's celebrate 5,000 new road projects as a step in the right direction.
