Obama Immunity To Reality
Contrary to the abundance of evidence that his "green jobs" initiative is a flop, Obama won't give up on it. In fact, in his own words: "I don't get it!"
Energy was a particular obsession of the president-elect's, and therefore a particular source of frustration. Week after week, [White House economic adviser Christina] Romer would march in with an estimate of the jobs all the investments in clean energy would produce; week after week, Obama would send her back to check the numbers. "I don't get it," he'd say. "We make these large-scale investments in infrastructure. What do you mean, there are no jobs?" But the numbers rarely budged.
