The never-ending Obama campaign

It still hasn’t ended… the weekly television addresses, the primetime speeches… and now this sign - spotted in IL by Marathon Pundit.

Your tax dollars at work

Your tax dollars at work

I guess since they’ve only spent 4% of the porkulus money to date, they figured they would spend some of the money advertising just how “effective” the program is. It is completely insulting to me that we are paying for Obama’s 2012 campaign (which is exactly what this amounts to) with taxpayer funds that were usurped under the pretense that it would be spent on “shovel ready” projects that will “create or save 3 million jobs”. I’ve got a “shovel-ready job for you - how about that border fence that the law says that you must build, yet refuse to fund. That’s not only shovel-ready, but it’s been started. Get out the pickaxes and get busy already!

I think someone ought to get a Pelosi-esque “truth commission” together to investigate this as a campaign finance violation, as it clearly is. This is nothing more than a campaign sign on the side of the road. The amusing thing is that there is no actual work going on anywhere in the photo. This stuff is just too good.

We have 2 signs like that around here that I have seen. One of them I have gone by at least 3 times and have never seen anyone there working, getting ready to work or evidence of work being done.

I drive past one of these signs twice a day; the only work done in that location was the erection of the sign. What gets me is the fact that they spent a whole lot of tax dollars to make a sign to let me know that they are squandering my tax dollars. Stop the madness!

About this blog

While based in California, this blog serves as a place for myself and my friends to sound off about conservative politics, the scourge of liberalism and Socialism in general. The Republican party has not represented conservative values well in recent years, and has cost us a lot in terms of elections. It is high time for the Republican party to get back to the conservative values that made it great.
