One would think that if the Obama
Administration was serious about jobs that it would at least make
sure that it didn't do anything to make it more difficult for those
Americans who are fortunate enough to still have jobs to actually get
to work.
Just before 3 this afternoon I received
a phone call from my missus, informing me she was stuck in traffic on
her way to work. As she described it, there were dozens of police
cars blocking traffic as a series of limousines, vans, and large SUVs
made their way along US Route 3 and Interstate 93 in Tilton, New
Hampshire. Traffic was blocked for quite some time, making it
impossible for anyone to get where they were going. As it is the
missus made it to work late.
It wasn't until later that she found
out the cause for the massive traffic tie-up: Vice President Joe
Biden.
It appears he was here in the Granite
State for two purposes – to file papers on behalf of President Obama
for the upcoming New Hampshire Primary, and promote the President's
dead-on-arrival jobs bill Biden claims will prevent a rise in violent
crime. Never mind that his little trip caused a number of
still-working Americans here in New Hampshire to be late getting to
work or getting home from work.
One does not promote jobs growth by
preventing those who still have them from getting to them.
