The disastrous results in the employment figures for May highlight a much bigger problem: Barack can’t create jobs because he hasn’t a clue what one actually is. How do we know this? Well, for starters, he seems not to know that he is actually one of the fortunate Americans who is gainfully employed.
Or, maybe he does? According to Barack, a job involves living in a grand mansion, a private jet, and his own personal golf course. In between, one does have the nuisance of keeping to a schedule, made less harried by a jet set lifestyle.

I count 5 campaign events in one day and about 1.5 hours of work. One can argue that the tour of the Honeywell facility is also a thinly-veiled campaign event but we will give Barack credit for the 1.5 hours of working time. Hmmm……….nice work if you can get it. My question is when does he actually do work work????
This begs the greater question: what is Barack going to do in a second term, should he be reelected??? He already told Vladimir that this is his last election. Think of all the time he will have to actually do his job without the distraction of a campaign. He will be able to do the work of 6 Presidents because now we get 1/6 of his time! I’m not sure he will know what to do. Well – let’s discount that by half. Silly me, I forgot about the golf and play dates with Michelle.
I guess the American people did not realize the extent of Barack’s social schedule either – that we would be required to employ Barack for 8 years to do the work of 4.
That’s a great gig if you can get it. Let’s make sure he doesn’t on 11/6/12.
