The Economic Traffic Jam

President Obama came to visit Denver to finish off Senator Michael Bennett’s campaing on Thursday. His trip turned out to be a metaphor for his presidency and the affect of the Democrat control of our Federal Government.

The Presidential motorcade departed back to the airport, and brought traffic on I-25, I-70, and other roads pretty much to a complete halt in much the same way that his administration has brought the economy to a halt. I’m sure that if asked, the Administration would blame the traffic problem on President Bush because of his last visit to Denver. This would of course be a lie. I was in Denver during one of President Bush’s last visits, and traffic was stopped for about 30 seconds. If pressed, I’m sure that Obama would tell us about how much worse the problem would have been had he not been there to fix it with hope, and change.

The light rail system in Denver was also brought to a halt for about 30 minutes. There didn’t appear to be a reason for it, at least not for more than about one minute. Of course, when one train stops on the Denver light rail, they all do. The interconnectedness of such things is beyond our fearless leader, in much the same way the interconnectedness of the economy is well beyond his understanding. I guess this is what happens when you never ride the train, and when you never had a job.

To top all of this off, the motorcade passed through the Denver area at about the start of rush hour. Obama and his handlers of course didn’t know this. (the whole not having a job thing again) The people who needed his interference the most were of course most inconvenienced by his choice. Of course, the people that can least afford his economic policies will be the ones most hurt by these policies. Of course, he doesn’t get that.

This guy is an economic traffic jam. I guess it is just a good thing there hasn’t been a train wreck to compare him too.
