Obama was in Minnesota today talking up his initiative to fast-track returning service members into "well-paying" manufacturing jobs.
Good luck with that, Mr. President.
Maybe President Hopey-changey hasn't noticed, but those jobs are a little scarce on the ground these days.
I'm guessing the last 30 or 40 years of bipartisan war on America's working class has something to do with that.
The well-paying manufacturing jobs are still well-paying, at least by Mexican standards.
Trouble is, they're in Mexico.
So maybe what this jobs-for-veterans initiative needs is free Spanish lessons and a ticket to Tijuana.
Elsewhere in his remarks the President managed to blame the European economic crisis for America's economic crisis. A trillion dollars on stupid wars in the last ten years and trillions more bailing out the too-big-and-politically-well-connected-to-fail banksters had nothing to do with it.
There was a somber note as well. Obama encouraged the nation to pray for the economy.
Well, nothing else is working, so why not?
