WASHINGTON – Declaring "I don't quit,'" an embattled President Barack Obama vowed in his first State of the Union address Wednesday night to make job growth his topmost priority for the year and urged a divided Congress to come together around new stimulus spending and short-term economic relief. He said he would still pursue ambitious longer-term changes to health care, energy, education and beyond.

"Change has not come fast enough," Obama said before a politician-packed House chamber and a TV audience of millions. "I do not accept second-place for the United States of America. As hard as it may be, as uncomfortable and contentious as the debates may be, it's time to get serious about fixing the problems that are hampering our growth."

Socialists love to spend OPM to garner favor with the asses and half asses amongst us.

Talk about a clear and pres__ent danger.

Yes, he’s going to create jobs....but then again, he’s making cutbacks that will cost people their jobs.

Talk about phony baloney.

Oh boy. Another speech from The One.

Now he’s talking about green jobs, solar panels, climate change related jobs.

Give me a frikkin’ break, Obummer. This will do NOTHING for the average, unemployed American who can’t suddenly change careers because you think “it’s the right thing to do.”

I’ll get the feathers. Who wants to warm up the tar?

Green jobs? Is this guy clueless or what?

Yeah, try using solar panels here in cloudy, cold, dreary Pennsylvania.

And by the way, climate change has been proven to be a fraud.

Dope!

0bama owes me a new keyboard. You can't get all those vomit chunks out from under the keys. IAC, he's preemptively lying again. It's impossible for a president from the nutcase branch of the Degenerative Party to do anything positive economically nowadays.
