February 22, 2010 -- Where does this guy stop? Speaking to the Las Vegas Department of Commerce about unemployment, our president asked the question that is on everyone's mind.

"[People] say, 'Why isn't the government doing more to create jobs?'

"Now, Harry [Reid] and I understand that's politics. But putting politics aside, what I believe, and what I know you believe, is that the true engine of job creation and economic expansion in this country has never been found in the halls of Congress or in the corridors of the White House.”

He goes on to say how the jobs are made- in garages and basements, by inventors and entrepreneurs. What is saying, the engine of our nation's recovery will be Flubber? It bounces and flies, just like our economy! Well we certainly won't fly off the earth, with only four flights left of the Space Shuttle. Maybe he could power that with Flubber too?

So, what is this guy really saying, and why? He appears to actually be saying, that we should put “politics aside,” including all those 5 million people who are going to lose their unemployment benefits by June. “That's just politics!” Um, aren't you the President, the political leader of the United States? Tell Congress, he said it himself, he's ready to put politics aside, and take on a new career.
