First we had “Dreams of my Father,” now we have “Green Jobs”. Both are Pipe dreams although this post in the The Heritage Morning Bell: Obama’s “Green Jobs” Pipe Dream” is only calling the green jobs a pipe dream, others have deconstructed his “dreams book” and called it not exactly on the up and up. Poor Obama just can’t cut a break, the Morning Bell post says this:
