Yo dawg, we heard you like stability in your economy so we put a job in your market so you can work while you hopefully provide health coverage for your entire family!
Not only is Obama not socialist enough in that he should be paying people not to work, he ought to be socialist like the Germans.
And I'm not EVEN going to touch my wonder at why socialist European models of health insurance are evil but socialist European models of paying people not to work are amazing and to be copied.

Yeah. Umm. The article is from the Washington Post (not exactly a right wing newspaper), and they quote critics from the Left:
The administration is "scared of [any plans] seeming like old-fashioned make-work, but that's what it is: You're giving [people] jobs because they have nothing left to do," said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think thank. "Giving people a shot at a job has to be worth a little bad publicity . . . but as in a lot of areas, they proved more cautious."
But the politically blindly stupid Mods set the always accurate PITA thermometer at Fascist (which only further proves their own political stupidity since right wingers are not fascist).
The criticism is coming from the LEFT. You might want to read an article beyond the headline some time. Assuming you aren't too ignorant to do so (which I am assuming).
Hey I'd work for Obama, why not? I disagree with the man on virtually every level but working in DC for awhile might be interesting.
Amusing Fact: If the President might be in your particular area the Secret Service will visit the local hospital and will hand pick each person that might have to be involved in any kind of examination. Naturally in the x-ray department they picked the old guy who had been working there and doing x-rays for 30+ years.
This was all long before I worked there, Clinton was president at the time.

Intriguingly, that's exactly what the piece says.
Not only is Obama not socialist enough in that he should be paying people not to work, he ought to be socialist like the Germans.
