Project 21, a black leadership network, has called on President Obama to quit trying to curry favor with “the global warming crowd” and begin promoting policies that create actual jobs rather than destroy them:
“Instead of currying the favor of the global warming crowd, the President should focus on getting people back to work. Green regulations based on junk science kill jobs and minimize productivity. Profits are now lost to accommodating new laws and regulations instead of hiring new employees and furthering innovation,” said Project 21’s Ak’Bar Shabazz, who owns several entertainment and telecommunications businesses.
Ironically, Obama is in the Triangle today promoting just the kind of green regulations and junk science that Project 21 correctly points out are putting thousands of people in the unemployment lines.
Project 21 seems to agree with Rush Limbaugh that Obama is a “faculty lounge president,” who is awash in theories and ignorant of the real world:
“President Obama and his administration tend to ignore the ramifications of academic theories in real world application. It seems President Obama wants green energy to be his New Deal, but — if left unchecked — government subsidies to green energy companies will drive our nation into bankruptcy,” said Project 21 member and Chicago-based talk radio host Charles Butler. “The Spanish now recognize their push for a green economy was the catalyst to their fiscal turmoil.”
Butler needs to understand the mind of someone like Obama. Facts don’t mean anything. The previous disastrous experiences of other countries don’t mean anything. Leftists always believe that their theories will work if you just keep trying. They never learn from experience.
