Don't need to add anything to this:


The Labor Department paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal stimulus funds to a public relations firm to run more than 100 commercials touting the Obama administration’s “green training” job efforts on two MSNBC cable shows, records show.
The commercials ran on MSNBC on shows hosted by Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann in 2009, but the contract didn’t report any jobs created, according to records reviewed recently by The Washington Times.

I am sure it went to all the cost of his shows.

We buy President Obama's campaign bus for him so why should taxpayers fund re-election ads on television?

Imagine how much Advertizing Stimulus has been injected into the economy by Republicans? :)

That's "advertising."

Since you're probably in the business of spinning BS on the taxpayers' dime you probably would think this a stimulus.

It's going to be hilarious watching all those Billionaires blow all that money on Mitten's and get noting for it. :)

And just imagine, none of it was taken by force from taxpayers.

It's an American thang ... it's how you get really Big Battle Ships with really Big Guns, you know the ones everyone calls for when they need help.

No need to say thank you ... it's implied. :)

Digar is not an American "thang". He's out there on his own.

That's "Mittens." You only use the possessive when something or someone is possessing.

So you prefer stealing the taxpayers money and using it to shill for the corrupt Obama regime as opposed to citizens spending their own money as they see fit.

Not surprising, given that you likely make your living on money stolen from the taxpayers to pay you for largely useless work given to you because of your race.

Stimulus = pork

Not to be picky but pork is usually appropriation of tax dollars for local special interest projects in a representative's district. In this case it's redistribution of tax dollars to special interests in the media, those that support your politics. Similar to pork but more like crony capitalism.

Maincoons: You don't understand. Mittens is the villian in President Obama's latest biography covering the very exciting last three months. He's no more a real person that is anyone else in one of the Obama Biography Series. Mittens is at best a "composite" and at worst, a totally fictional character like Barack Obama.
