Amused Cynic

Lots of my friends are asking why there is so little mockery (where it is due) of Obama and the Obamakin horde. Well, it’s because of the MSM censors, but you can still find some great stuff on the Internet.

Case in point, this great little piece by Jules Crittenden, wherein he notes that mocking Obama’s trip out to Cleveland for the swearing in of 25 new police officers–who will be funded for a whole year by earmarks from the “stimulus package”—isn’t really fair, because it overlooks the interconnectiveness of the modern economy:

Not fair. It’s not that simple an equation. That’ll be … let’s see … at a conservative average of two donuts per cop per day, that’s another 18,250 donuts per annum that will be fried, glazed and served in the greater Columbus area, plus joe. Any donutologists, economic confectionists out there who can comment on what the growth potential at Krispy Kreme, Dunks, whatever they have in Columbus, will be as a result of this?

Also, Obama cited the teacher jobs saved in the government, I mean, economic stimulus. Very important. They vote Democratic. Private sector jobs apparently will have to wait for a little more trickleup. Heartfelt plea to public safety professionals. Order yours with sprinkles. Keep the sprinkle sector employed.

Someone else calculated that these little campaign trips to the heartland that Obama keeps taking on Air Force One cost the taxpayers in the neighborhood of $365K…..so, if he had just phoned in his congrats instead of showing up in person, maybe Cleveland could have hired 35 new officers for a year, instead of 25. And lowered our carbon footprint at the same time.
