I don't know how to answer questions in fark headlines unless someone puts them in multiple choice format.

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!

SwiftFox: He's not socialist enough

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.

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.

The WSJ. Making my neck hurt with the vacillating and the whiplashing.

because despite my direct appeal on the House floor, apparently the position of Pizza Czar was already taken.
 
2009-11-07 10:18:28 AM
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).

Seriously, WTF is this guy's problem?
 
2009-11-07 10:23:47 AM
Yeah, my wife lost her job, and now all she does is lay about the house . . . give her a job now, you fark!

(Okay, she lost her job yesterday, and she always lays about the house . . . but still . . . Job! Now! You fark!)



/ got need for a layabout bank executive vice president?
// i know where you can one . . . cheap!
 
2009-11-07 10:37:49 AM
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.

They're not Fascist YET.

The problem is you are not a Go-Getter... Get the wife a job.... take her to work... Go Get Her... :D

She's not alone though... from that right wing rag New York Times;

In all, more than one out of every six workers - 17.5 percent - were unemployed or underemployed in October. The previous recorded high was 17.1 percent, in December 1982.

This includes the officially unemployed, who have looked for work in the last four weeks. It also includes discouraged workers, who have looked in the past year, as well as millions of part-time workers who want to be working full time.

I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure Bush sabotaged me with a bad reference.

Fascism is an antithesis of right.

Well, how much did YOU give to his campaign? Hell, an ambassadorship is half a million, and that's for some crappy country.

Dude, you want a job?

Why won't Obama stop leaving the cap off the toothpaste?
 
2009-11-07 10:58:08 AM
So I'm lost. Is there some kind of Right-Wing Miss Manners for these situations? When do I pull myself up by my bootstraps, and when do I whine about Obama not handing me a job?

Aidan: So I'm lost. Is there some kind of Right-Wing Miss Manners for these situations? When do I pull myself up by my bootstraps, and when do I whine about Obama not handing me a job?

I can't be certain, but I think pulling oneself up by their bootstraps may now be Socialist as well, as the end result would be helping the nation as a whole which is not OK during years a Democrat is in power.

Is there a Fark Independent available that can give us a ruling please?
 
2009-11-07 11:17:31 AM
I've been asking him for WEEKS and he still has yet to give me a job!

And left wingers are not commies. And those knees are really quite acceptable and you would, in fact, hit that.

Exodus2001: President Palin would have drilled us out of this mess months ago. Obama is a failure.

I for one support Palin's plan to exploit federal preserves in order to drill for bootstraps.

That's some good trolling sir.

Pros:
1. Lack of punctuation and use of shift key makes you look rushed to get out your important message, offend grammar nazis.

2. Distortion of facts and outright lies sure to anger many readers and force them to respond.

3. Multiple posts sure to attract attention.

Cons:
1. You appear to be retarded.
