We got Obama's so called job bill on national TV last Thursday,September 15th. It took a little over thirty minutes of airtime, just about the same length of those late night and cable infomercials. I sure most of you,if not everyone,has seen these highly annoying product pitches.So was this speech just another so called infomercial to a joint session of Congress and to the nation? I would assume that many of the people were watching the NFL pregame show on NBC.
If you have seen these infomercials, then you would probably recognize the name of the late Billy Mays.He was the king of infomercials and was immediately recognized by the sound of his voice.During the thirty minutes of marketing,he would use certain catch phrases over and over.For some reason or other,something would catch your eye, so you would listen to learn about the product.But most of the time,if you're like me, you just switched to another channel,mostly because you knew the product was not something that you wanted to shell out any money on,mainly because it wouldn't do what he said it would do.
Obama's catch phrase was PASS THIS BILL NOW which he mentioned seventeen times during the infomercial.This was not a jobs bill,but another speech consisting of more taxes and spending.He told us that this would cost us about 447 billion dollars and that he would announce the following Monday how it would be paid for.
As you may know,most of these products are offered at the low price of $19.95.But wait,they would double the offer for the same low price of $19.95.All you had to do was pay a separate process and handling fee,which was usually more than the product itself.
I could just hear President Obama say,the first one is around 787 billion,but you can now get another one for only process and handling, which is the low,low price of 447 billion. Pass this bill now, because there is only a few minutes left to act.Of course, the bill hasn't been submitted to Congress yet.PASS THIS BILL!!ONLY THIRTY SECONDS LEFT!!
Billy Mays would have been proud .WE weren't!!!
