Caesar Obammus is so eager to create “green” jobs that he will take to take to misleading Americans in order to do it. But have you ever stopped to think about what actually constitutes a “green” job?

A report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued last week cited that there are 3.1 million “green” jobs in America. That’s a lot of people! As this article from CNN notes, “it's nearly five times the number of people that work making cars and trucks and over half the amount employed in the construction industry.”

But here’s the catch … there are over 300 different industries that the government is counting as a “green” job. Here are some examples: Organic farmers, mill workers making recycled steel, school or employee bus transportation workers, used merchandise stores -- i.e. thrift shops workers. Do you know if you’re a bus driver .. and suddenly you’re driving a hybrid bus .. you instantly become a “green job.” This is a fraud, and you know it’s a fraud. The true figure for those working in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries is about 600,000.

Why the big government push to make it look like we are creating more green jobs that we really are? Dear Ruler promised in 2008 to create 5 million green jobs. Running for re-election on the failed promise of a green jobs boom isn’t going to work to his advantage, is it?
