Barry Honey, Let’s Do Talk About Jobs
The Daily Caller detailed five such job-killing stimulus projects in August of 2010 – the same summer which you and your press minions simultaneously hailed as “the Summer of Recovery.” Well, it wasn’t for small businesses in the path of your big-government steamroller in Tennessee or Wisconsin or Utah or California or Ohio. No, Barry honey, recovery summer was an Obummer summer in many states where the incompetent hands of your big-government “solutions” set up shop.
In every one of the job-killing “stimulus” projects cited by The Daily Caller, a few union jobs may have been “saved or created,” but small business owners were paying the price of big-government stupidity. Traffic suddenly rerouted or closed down altogether put real Americans out of jobs while union bosses laughed all the way to the bank.
In reality, many jobs were killed by the “stimulus,” but the signs were pretty. They should have been. They cost us aggrieved American taxpayers a pretty penny. According to a DOT figure submitted to ABC News upon request, it was estimated that states spent about five million dollars on those signs alone. Five million dollars, honey! On signs that were so reminiscent of your own campaign logo that Republicans were demanding an investigation.
ABC News determined that a single sign touting “The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act” on improvements to a runway at Dulles International cost $10,000. Ten thousand dollars for a sign. Just a sign. The whole runway-improvement project cost American taxpayers $15 million and created a piddling 17 jobs. Now no one but the village idiot touts that with a ten thousand dollar sign, honey.
The utter waste and stupidity in that Mother-Load Stimulus bill was so egregious that they prompted Senators Coburn and McCain to write a whole detailed report on some of them, which they called Summertime Blues. Now admittedly, Barry honey, Coburn and McCain are Republicans, but the “stimulus” projects they highlighted ought to cause even an agitating community organizer like you to blush with shame.
My personal favorite taxpayer-gouge from the Summertime Blues report was the one where big-government dupes gave nearly $2 million to the California Academy of Sciences to send researchers (aka government-paid tourists) to the Southwest Indian Ocean Islands and east Africa to photograph and catalog “exotic” ants, some of which will no doubt be extinct by the time this research “stimulates” the American economy.
Next: Well, at least there’s one job the president is worried about…
Barry Obama has never experienced the job world as other Black Americans and even White Americans did. His father was from Kenya and his White mother a disaffected New Age liberal, both of whom left his upbringing to his White grandmother.
Barry Obama does not know what racial discrimination is since he rarely experienced it, not could he learn about it from his Kenyan father who by the way abandoned him.
Barry Obama speaks in theory and the abstract, not in reality. Thus he is able to state with a straight face that without his “stimulus” package Americans would be far worse off than they are now. Barry and his sycophants state publicly and often that unemployment would be much higher if he hadn’t “saved” millions of workers from layoffs or businesses from closing. In terms of foreign policy, Barry maintains that had America must distance itself from her allies and align itself with her enemies. For Barry, theoretically America has earned her enemies hostility because of America’s closeness to countries like Israel and Egypt, so of course for Barry the answer is simple, betray America’s allies and be harmless to America’s sworn enemies.
Barry should have stayed a professor, unfortunately he is now America’s President.
From what I’ve heard, Obozo accomplished pretty much nothing as a professor. He got in because somebody had the money to get him that job. That is the only way anything ever gets done in Chicago.
Sorry to correct you, but Barry was NOT a professor. He lectured. Big differance.
Just a reminder- Barry attended the “most expensive” and “most exculsive” private school west of the Mississippi, Punahou School. Clearly he is totally down with the cause of the “little people”.
Kylie-Anne,
Thank you, I greatly enjoyed the article. Funny but unfortunately true.
You did such a number on the President, as to be reminiscent of watching my Grandfather (a true Genius with a knife) carve the Thanksgiving Turkey.
(off topic) I have to ask, Is it just me or does Barry’s campaign bus remind you of a monster phallic symbol? Is he over-compensating or is it just his big ego?
I’m beginning to believe the people who have diagnosed Barry as a Narcissist.
It is not a phallic symbol unless it has a red tip.
It reminds me of something Emperor Palpatine might use
for ground transportation.
I had a somewhat different take on the bus:
Yes We Can ride the bus to Mordor!
The Occubaggers, the Education Bubble, and You
Why there can be NO recovery from the housing bubble until all public sector unions are GONE
Ya know, we’ve spent nearly a trillion dollars on that “stimulus” bill. It had all of those “shovel-ready jobs” in it. Remember those? Those same “shovel-ready” jobs that Obama and that turd, Jeffrey Immelt, laughed about recently on tv at, ironically, a “jobs summit.” So now you want to spend another $500 billion on another “jobs” stimulus? How dumb does this guy think we are? If anybody, ANYBODY, votes for this bill in Congress they should be voted out of office for either sheer stupidity or corruption. Because those are the only two reasons an elected official in Washington would vote for something like this.
Just another reason to vote Obama out of office in 2012.
“Obamavilles,” that is pure genius. Let’s make it stick.
“Well, bless your heart.”
Anyone who’s ever lived in the south knows what that means, and it fits.
As the daughter of a southern woman (New Orleans) I can attest to that!
Well, readers, I can indeed think of ONE job that is truly “shovel ready”:
It’s the Barack Obama presidency, which was hailed as the miracle-save, and has now turned into a big, steaming, smelly pile of “shovel-ready” manure.
Men, Women get your shovels ready and let’s get to work.
We’ve got a lot of Republic-saving to do in the next year.
Warm regards,
Kyle-Anne
ARE THE GENIUSES AT THE RNC CONSIDERING USING THIS POST AS A COMMERCIAL IN 2012? THE SARCASM, THE TWISTING OF THE KNIFE IN THE RIBS BITING WIT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR MR. OBAMA TO RESPOND TO.
Sorry for the ‘yelling’, but I hope that commercials like this, taking the “fight” to Obama will become prevalent (we certainly can’t depend upon the MSM to report on this). I think that enough of these commercials will not only open the eyes of many but might push Obama over the edge (after all, if he says God supports his bill then he may be ripe for a breakdown).
Just learn how to use a limited amount of HTML that way you can add emphasis by using certain tags like the less than arrow followed by b either upper or lower case and closed with the less than followed by forward slash and the greater sign or you could cite with italics to change how the font appears by using the italics tag which is done using the same technique only substituting upper case I or lower case i to achieve the resulting text!
Then preview your post and make changes in case you goof up or make a typo some where in there!
Thank you Steve. I thought I might go this entire day without learning something useful. You have saved me from that fate and I offer my sincere gratitude. I look forward to using this new knowledge.
And thank you Kyle-Anne. I always appreciate your clever writing and your biting wit. You have the Chameleon in the White House dialed in perfectly. Keep up the good work.
I know, Kyle-Ann Shiver, that your use of the word”honey” is probably a sarcastic remark but it sentchills up my spine to refer to this piece of petrified puke as honey.
Other than that I will agree your column is correct in every other sense.
Hi Bill,
The trick to understanding a Southern woman’s use of the word, “Honey,” is that depending upon the lady’s tone of voice, the look in her eye and the amount of down-the-nose superiority or up-in-your-manly-eyes affection in her manner, “Honey” can be either the tenderest endearment or it can be the most piercing sword. Yes, I agree with you, dear sir, that these utterly-female nuances can be difficult to express in the written word.
However, I do believe that every single one of my own readers is profoundly intelligent, and as such, will have no trouble whatsoever picking up my own messaging in my “Barry Honey” columns.
The phrase, “bless your heart,” sometimes throws non-Southerners as well. I believe one other reader has mentioned this.
The phrase, “bless your heart” is known throughout the South as about the worst, most insulting, most buried-under-sweet-sounding-rhetorical-sugar as any words could possibly be. What we mean, when we say it — almost always to a non-Southerner — is that the object of our pronouncement could not be more the imbecile if he were working hard at the task. This person is so completely hopeless that only God can come to his rescue with protective blessings. Otherwise, the poor fool is doomed to be a victim of his never-ending shots at his own two feet.
Hope this clears up a few of the Southernisms I use in my writing.
Fondly,
Kyle-Anne
I love all of this, Kyle Ann… and my 85 year old Mom, Mary Jean, in Shreveport will too! So will my buddies, Mary Ann, Billie Dean and Linda… all in the South!! Keep it coming!
(When Mom says Honey… or bless your heart… I have to look clearly in her eyes!)
So, bless your heart is similar, if a bit more robust, to the phrase with all due respect commonly used in the rest of the country? I like it.
Bill, here is a more direct interpretation. Cultured women here in the south do not use explitives very often, if at all. When they say ‘bless your heart’, by the tone of their voice you should be able to tell immediately if they mean ‘bless your heart’, or ‘F#*k you’. In either case, they will probably have a smile on their face. As for ‘honey’, using that same condescension, means ‘you bastard’.
I have no doubt that if Kyle had spoken this directly to Barry instead of writing it, he would have been cringing.
Kyle-Anne,
Why did you write something intelligent? Don’t you know your place as a Southerner? We are the stupid, uneducated folks who just need to stay quiet. Keep writing and sounding off. I predict you may be our new Fanny Flag. Not sure my spellin and grammar matches yours. But I’m just a Southerner!
Now this is the Kyle-Anne I love.
And I doubt whether the reeking sack of potus excrement in the white house has “created” or even “saved” a single job that wasn’t a union payoff. It isn’t even likely that he WANTS to create any private sector jobs; it’s more likely that he wants to destroy them, because in his marxist addled brain, every unemployed private sector person is a vote for him, as well as being another pavestone in the long march.
He has to be defeated and the white house then has to be fumigated to keep the vermin out forever.
Bravo…you do have a way with words and have rapidly become one of my favorite pundits. I went to the Glenn Beck/Hagee event at Cornerstone Church here in San Antonio last Sunday. The crowd cheered a lot, but the longest and loudest was when Hagee said Obama has no authority to tell either Israel where it can build nor tell Palestine where its borders ought to be. There were about 100 OCW demonstrators here downtown, while 7,000+ attended the Cornerstone event on site and numberless others watched via the Internet. For the fiorst time, I really feel we have them outnumbered, so keep up the cheerleading for the side of good versus Obama’s evil. As an aside, didn’t Obama tell us to paint our roofs white and buy only white cars to save the environment. That black bus is a rolling hypocritical absurdity.
Speaking as a southern woman, this piece is an embarrassment to PJ Media and should be to you. Who in God’s name put you up to this silliness? They should be fired. I have liked many of your pieces in the past, but this one ‘takes the cake,’ from one southerner to another. I’m personally insulted and you should be ashamed, not to mention this mess is a monumental bore—far too long and cute.
Listen up honey chil, from one belle to another, you and PJ Media can do much better than this. Why don’t you do a good corn bread recipe with a little Tabasco in it next time?
Well Weutante “honey”, Bless your heart.
Miss Kyle-Anne,
What makes us think our God-Emperor and Prophet-Messiah gives a hoot? Should he lose next year, so what! He’s all set for the rest of his life. He’ll enjoy his Presidential pension and all the perks and bennies. His rich friends will give him houses wherever he wants. the tax-payers will build his Presidential Library and pay all the expences of running it. He will have the Secret Service with him all his days to help him look important. He will be able to play golf wherever, whenever he likes. He’ll be looking good. No, he won’t give his successor the gift of silence George Bush has given him. Miss Kyle-Anne, we will have to endure his tiresome bothersome presence for years to come. This is a fate worse than death.
Kyle-Anne,
I love the article and as a native Southerner, I *know* what “bless your heart” means in all its varied nuances.
Please have someone edit out homonym errors. I think you meant “mother-lode” rather than the term used, “mother-load.”
But since Obama is such a “load” maybe you didn’t
Cheers,
O.C.
Obama keeps trying to pivot 360 degrees toward jobs but keeps ending up focusing on his pet projects.
kyle-Anne, this is just what we need, as we say down here in Jawja (geogia), ” ” ” “hunker down you hairy dawg”….Love it and please keep it coming!!!!!
Obama is the “mother load”, even the dung beetle would have problems with this
pile of horse dung and any criticism just sails right over his head…….
If only the Republican candidates could shift their energies, as well as you,Kyle-Anne, into the source of American misery: Obamaville. The debaters would rather go after each other than the leftist head of the hydra. Obama ridiculing could easily fill the same debate time slot, with more meme and bang. Otherwise, what we hear in commentary is teaching arithmetic to the ants.
Obamaville. I rather think the Usurper in the White House is happy to have the Occupier’s encampments called that rather than the real Obamavilles that he has been filling his whole presidency. Those would be the residences created under bridges and in out of the way places that are occupied by the unfortunate souls that he has helped out of their jobs and homes during his tenure. Remember them? They are the homeless people that were all the rage during previous Republican administrations. I wonder why we don’t hear about them anymore? It’s a sure bet that their numbers will be pasted all over the LameStream Media on a daily basis if he is replaced next year.
Looking at the picture in this article it reminds me of a kid on a “field trip” does that not look like the whole Obama disaster presidency, a bunch of kids running around looking touching and sometimes tearing up some place.
This “field trip” is tearing up the whole country while the MSM and national democrats go along with the wholesale destruction that this stupid administration is doing without regard to companies or families while all the time making claims that whatever it is they do is really great for the country.
Time for us to pray to GOD to bless our country once again and rid us of this poor decision our country made by putting Obama into the position he now occupies!
We can be as snarky as we want, but the truth is that Obama’s poll numbers are steadily rising and the msm is framing the GOP as blocking the jobs bill and therefore blocking jobs. Despite what the truth may be, I do believe that a lot of Americans will go to the polls next year believing that Obama’s done a pretty good job and whatever bad things are happening is all our fault. Not sure how to fix that other than to continue to speak the truth. But the truth sure seems to have a short lifespan and a relatively small audience. Unfortunately.
There is only one statistic that needs to be quoted when talking about Obambi and the Deem’o'crats . The previous 42 Presidents collectively ran up a Budget deficit of $10 Trillion over 200+ years. Obambi and his Regime have added $5 Trillion to that deficit in just THREE YEARS and are fighting tooth and nail to INCREASE that number by not allowing Republicans to make cuts and instead INCREASING spending. Dont forget what Politicians, of all stripes, call a CUT is just semantics and sophistry its just smoke and mirrors. They are merely talking about a cut in the INCREASE and hoping that the American people are too stupid to understand what they are doing. Unfortunately for America that is exactly what is happening cheered on by the lying in the tank Lame Stream EneMedia.
Kyle-Ann,
Child I do declare, like the St. Louis Cardinals in September, you just get better and better.
As, somewhat coincidentally, the chance of DimBama running for a second term, gets bleaker and bleaker.
Any member of the Obama team that reads your latest piece of brilliance would need more than a couple of atavans and ambiens to sleep. They’d need to place a call to Dr. Conrad Murray.
You are helping to wake up America, and, honey, you’re doing it with the most finely honed writing skills this side of heaven. love, rachel

When journalists ridicule this POS we are making progress.
An article such as this was best written by a sweet southern woman. I will share this piece of art with my northern cohorts.
During the Cold War:
If I had seen a big black armored bus like that rolling down my street ominously, I would have thought that we had been invaded and the first detachment of the Russian Army of Occupation was in that bus ready to take over my town.
Why did Obama’s bus have to be painted black all over instead of red-white-and-blue? Scary as hell.
Folks:
Secret Service is responsible for the bus.
They choose absolutely everything about security at that level. Including the color. And where the bus is ordered from. And how much it costs.
It’s not Obama’s personal RV. It’s the security vehicle for the President of the United States. As such, security experts choose it. Again, NOT Obama’s decision.
Your snark is misplaced. Unless you think it’s cool to mock the Secret Service.
i got a laugh out of this. it really is true about the sarcasm thing in the way some Southern women talk.
the obamacare kudzu line said it best to me. if you think about it, kudzu defines odummy’s entire political philosophy. its a good place for rats, snakes and such varmits to hide in too. eventually kills whatever it infests, trees, bushes, you name it.
just tangles them up until they can no longer function. its awfully hard to kill too.
that black bus always reminds me of a clown car in the circus, after it stops and clown after clown after clown just keeps on coming out of that open door.
Just how much more of this verbal incontinence must Americans tolerate? Wake up America, put “your Feet to the Street” and protest in an intelligent manner! Go Tea Party Patriots, may you multiply by the 10′s of thousands! Let’s hear your voices heard instead of this biased left-winged Media!
While no amount of mockery, cynicism, or sarcasm aimed at this immature, ignorant, and impetuous juvenile can ever be enough, their true character lies in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russian history.
An Obama is nothing but a media trophy that the media will support ’til their death. It’s their jihad against Democracy. And they are winning battle after battle in true Bolshevik style.
Ridicule while you can; Because these days are numbered by these Bolsheviks.
Obozo, our clown in chief, and love the way this writer helps support the doctrine of a clown in office, getting laughed at by the rest of the world, and eventually the “lame stream” media will catch up with this clown.
And I think nothing better to illustrate why I call the man our clown. Didn’t he tell us about shovel ready jobs when he was touting a so called stimulus plan. And then didn’t he just laugh when there weren’t the shovel ready jobs he promised.
So how many people that needed jobs are also laughing, and how many union leaders are laughing all the way to the bank??
Just asking.
Kyle Anne is wonderful! Few know it, but she is one of our Texas Ladies; a brand far superior to all others, whether native born or naturalized. In Texas she is sometimes identified as Our Lady of Laredo and recently her profile was discerned on a taco cooking in the pan of a certain Sra. Gonzales, who has parlayed that event into a bustling tourist/museum venture worth millions and creating more than 27,000 jobs!
All should know that, while faithful moslems are promised 72 beautiful female companions, faithful Texans are promised one clone of Kyle Anne, more than enough for a man; and far more than he could ever hope to deserve. We hope that all are aware that when good Texans die, we go to heaven; and when good non-texans die, they go to Texas.
We all would rather have a Kyle Anne than even be a Texas Ranger; the most exalted status of humanity. It ain’t possible to say no more nicer than that!
Keep it up, you drop dead gorgeous Wonder Woman! And, please run for somethin’ so we can vote for y’all about 200 times.
