The President has stated that “shovel ready” work don’t occur. Deficiency of any New Deal like work being created is a constant criticism of the President. As a candidate, Obama did promise that career creation was one of his top priorities. Unemployment has not considerably reduced since Obama took office. Experts on both sides of the aisle have also pointed to health care reform and financial reform that do not go far enough or go too far as well as a lack of career development.
No such thing as shovel ready
The first term of presidency is nearly half up for Obama. The stimulus programs he spearheaded were thought to be automobiles toward job development. Stimulus programs are considered wasteful and ineffective by quite much every person now. Recently, Obama sat down for an interview with the New York Times. The president had been able to discuss the issues of job creation. He said that shovel ready projects in the work sector that make for jobs don’t actually occur as he found after getting to Washington. Public work projects were used a lot throughout the Good Depression. This had been how Franklin Delano Roosevelt kept jobs for people.
Obama looks to long-run
Obama stresses that his concern has always been to do good over the long term. He, and others quoted within the interview such as David Axelrod, maintain that popular opinion is swayed by the short term. Obama is often seen as a villain right now. This is because his policies make for a long-run outlook that nobody can see right now. Patience is what the individuals in the U.S. have to have, Obama told Peter Baker, because it always takes longer to get things done in a democracy. The Obama “shovel ready” comments certainly make it seem so.
Washington’s modifications
The Washington machine breaks down a Congressman who is an idealistic in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” which is a classic film. It is difficult to know whether Barack Obama is falling victim to similar circumstances. There are so many high-level staff leaving right now. This involves Rahm Emanuel and makes it look like Obama needs some help.
