Why didn't Obama propose this last year, or 2 years ago? Why is he doing it now? Could the election in 2012 have anything to do with it?
"Obama says the bill would put 19,000 thousands construction workers in North Carolina back on the job." Hmmmmmm! How much is 19,000 thousands anyway? This must be the same "new math" Obama uses when he tells us how he has turned this country around and fixed what Bush screwed up. Does NC have that many construction workers that are unemployed? 19,000 thousands???? Don't ask me, I'm not smart enough to answer that, but I am smart enough not to give Obama my vote in '12.
