Our President is here in Nevada today, touting his health-care agenda at a "town-hall" meeting at Green Valley High School. Which means that traffic sucks on the entire east side of town. But otherwise nobody seems to give much of a damn. Besides healthcare, Barack is also pulling for his local boy, Harry Reid (D - Nev.), to get re-elected, but I personally think that's running neck-and-neck with the passage of national healthcare for the top spot on Barack's wish-list of miracles.
Don't think it's going to work. Anyone who knows Nevada politics knows Harry Reid is about as big a douchebag as walks the face of the earth. Which was fine when he was a token douchebag lost among a hundred milling senatorial faces. But he's been embarrassing himself enough on the news this last year that people are about as sick of him as they are of Obama. Nobody likes to back a losing horse. Even in a working class place like NV (or perhaps ESPECIALLY in a working class place like NV), lots of people are getting bored with Barack (and his pundits) telling them what a brilliant success the economic stimulus package has been. Apparently the people haven't heard that his experts are projecting 95,000 new jobs each month this year.
As for that last part, about more jobs and reduction in unemployment, the memo apparently didn't get through to places like Boeing. But don't worry. Just a bump in the road. As soon as Harry is locked in place at the top of the Senate for a few more years, and as soon as we get this healthcare thing done, economic reconstruction will be the next item on the agenda. He and Harry and Nancy are going to turn it all around. And they need your vote to make it happen.
