Bush Tells Unemployed Americans to Eat Cake!

It seems Bush doesn’t care about the common people. Big surprise. During a recent press briefing the White House press secretary Dana Perino suggested that the bush administration would oppose any efforts to extend jobless benefits, a position the White House has taken before.

The White House press secretary Dana Perino explained their position by saying, we want people to be able to return to work as soon as possible.  I assume that the White House thinks that by extending the unemployment benefits somehow prevents people from returning to work.  Ms. Perino also had the nerve to say that the best way to help the economy was for the unemployed people to simply get back to work! SIMPLY GET BACK TO WORK?!! To what jobs Ms. Perino? Do you even understand why the people are out of work? Do you even know there is a problem? How can you just stand there and pretend like everything is just fine and dandy with the economy? Like it’s just so easy for someone that’s unemployed to go get another job, just like that. Well, If there were jobs out there it would be that easy, you  know, remember, the way it was before your Boss came into office.

Here are just a few of the recent headlines about unemployment this week:

– The Department of Labor reported last week that the country shed 159,000 jobs in September, and the unemployment rate has increased to its highest level in five years.

– The Washington Post reported yesterday that “unemployment claims are at a seven-year high, and factory orders are sharply down. … Small businesses can’t get financing.”

I don’t even know where to start.  So, we have the Bush administration, the ones who are responsible for the destruction of our economy, bailing out the wall street executives who along with the Bush administration caused all of the problems, but he tells the people, the ones that are most affected by his stupidity to go eat cake!  Where is this guy living, where is he from?  Here is a president that has not vetoed one spending bill since he became president and is responsible for doubling or national debt, but if it’s just a small sum of money to help the public, this guy threatens to veto any assistance.  I guess if you’re a Wall Street executive making millions of dollars and your job is threatened by your own stupid actions, well, that is just unacceptable to Bush and he will hand you a check for $700,000,000.

I can’t even begin to understand this logic.  I guess the only good thing that we have to look forward to is that Bush and his lapdog Ms. Perino will be joining the millions of unemployed in the next few weeks.  But I have a feeling that they won’t be hurting as much.
