Another Obama Green Failure

Obama green jobs training program was supposed to turn out 80,000 jobs. So far, it has placed 8,000. That's ten percent for those of you who have received your education from Obama.

President Obama has made green jobs a cornerstone of his economic agenda. In his first 2012 campaign ad this month, he said clean energy industries created 2.7 million jobs and were "expanding rapidly." But Republicans have pounced on failures, such as the bankruptcy of Solyndra, a solar panel maker backed with a Department of Energy loan guarantee.

Citing what he calls "abysmal results" in the job training program, House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., is demanding answers about how the Department of Labor awarded the grants, which were funded out of the 2009 stimulus bill.

If you're snarkily guessing that the Obamatons are blaming Bush, you're right.

"This grant came just as the recession heightened."

But, wasn't this supposed to fix everything? But the real tragedy isn't the waste of money. It's the waste of lives. These people have been trained for jobs that will never exist except in liberal fantasies. They might as well have been trained as unicorn herdsmen.
