Freakin’ Jobs for Fuffablowians

Dear Mr. President: Buffalo needs ‘freakin’ jobs, billboard says

I think such in-your-face style demands are going to increase dramatically for president Obama.  With the excitement surrounding him during the elections, he certainly made it seem as though he would provide drastic relief in many ways for Americans.  Unfortunately, after billions of dollars in payoffs to his corporate buddies at the banks and General Motors, the president’s policies have had a net zero effect on the American economy.

Of course we here at the State of Affairs do not believe the federal government creates real jobs, so we do not rely on Washington unlike many others.   Additionally, while layoffs seem to have bottomed out, I do not see any substantial growth in jobs for five to seven years or longer.  What will that effect have on the presidency?  People vote their wallet, and with little improvement, the president with the most excitement surrounding him in all of history is clearly going to be out of a job come 2012.  The only remaining question will be if Hillary or other high ranking democrats can completely distance themselves from this administration in an effort to gain the presidency.  With the economic collapse of 2008 fresh in everyone’s minds, and with none of the promised relief from president Obama and the democratic congress delivered, the answer will most likely be “no.”
