Labor Department spends stimulus funds for ads during Olbermann, Maddow shows - Washington Times

$500K spent and zero jobs created.

this is the sort of stuff that should see a slew of people fired, regardless of the party.

 

[Volst53]

This is the kind of stuff that should put people in prison.

 

[utvolpj]

it's all just a huge money laundering scheme. Only bad part is they're using our money

 

[hog88]

^^No it's a payoff for favorable reporting.

Embarrassing.

 

[myrobbins7]

Sad thing is people will vote for 4 more years of this crap.

Spot on.

I don't think there is an alternative. The main focus of all politicians today is the next election. Governance isn't remotely in their minds.

Anyone going to bother to acknowledge that this occurred in 2009 and touted some job initiative programs, not Obama, or are you all just going to pretend like this was campaign commercials that ran last night?

Or was it the intent of the title of the article, and the thread, to mislead people into thinking that it was recent and about Obama?

 

[rjd970]

How much you wanna bet this doesn't even make the evening news, and if it does, as a buried story?

the Obama admin gave govt funds to their supporters. Would you be as forgiving if W had given govt money to run ads on Rush or Hannity's show?

Nothing. Because it is three years old. It isn't news. Its a stupid false outrage piece. Typical.

Using that logic Romney's old tax returns don't matter either because their more than three years old.

You're not real. You can't really be this partisan.

So as old as MR's tax returns you are all wet to see?

Except one is highly unethical (using stimulus money) and one is asking for personal accountability (Romney's tax returns).

Addendum: I personally don't care about Romney's tax returns.

There should be outrage. Pissing away cash on ads is ridiculous.

not sure if serious. This kind of response is why Washington is littered with clowns bent on job preservation above everything else.

Wrong, Romney's tax returns have nothing to do with personal accountability.

When it comes to choosing thread titles, you're the National Enquirer.

LOL, you nitwits are all up in arms about $500,000 worth of stimulus money, spent three years ago, because it was on MSNBC. You feign outrage by pretending it happened during the campaign, and that anyone remembers this. And when point out the absurdity of the complaint that this isn't a breaking "news" story, you call ME out as why Washington doesn't work?

I agree with you that Washington's fundamental problem is job preservation, and that is why money has so corrupted the process. So let's focus on the role of the really big money and what is doing to all facets of the process and not distract ourselves with intentionally mischaracterizing articles about crap like this.

Nail on the head.

While LG white washes this because its not 16 tril $ and its a small amount in comparison, if you don't see this as a big problem with politicians and bigger government your naive and foolish

you can't be serious. The timing of the response is about when I found out, you partisan dullard, and not about date of the crime.

If this kind of brazen theft isn't indicative of the mindset of the dillhole in the WH for you, you're beyond help. You clearly can't be listened to about anything, as you're just another partisan bonehead bent on keeping an idiot in power.
