President Obama called for Congress to "get on board" with more infrastructure spending and a new round of middle-class tax cuts Monday, as he delivered a campaign-style speech that served as a warm-up to a vital jobs address later this week.

He used the address to underscore his alliance with the labor movement -- at a time when cracks are starting to show -- and preview some of the proposals he'll outline during a speech Thursday before a joint session of Congress.
Obama effectively dared Republicans to oppose what he described as the "new way forward" for America. He said the upcoming session would reveal whether there are "straight-shooters" in Congress and whether Republicans will put "country before party."
"Show us what you got," he said, in a message aimed at GOP lawmakers. "No more manufactured crises, no more games."

Tell this nihilist marxist punk to go pound sand.
Not going to pour another trillion or two in to the coffers of his union backers.
Last year, a road that I frequently drive was repaved. The company did an excellent job. The old, volcanic cinders were gone and it was a nice smooth pavement. Now, another “stimulus” company has come in and dumped oil all over it and covered it with rocks. Anybody know anything about road construction?
Or what Hoffa and his gang are going to come after them.............
FU 0
Cancel all the light rail and bullet train boondogles and use that to rebuild roads and bridges that are failling apart.
Ain’t gonna happen, we already travel on the best raods on the planet down here. Oblame-o needs to have a new wet dream...
infrastructure spending = pork spending
Infrastructure Bank = Pork Bank

Jimmy Hoffa Jr. comes and pays a visit to us at home?
He sends out Maxine Waters to tell us all to go to hell?
He passes is own Law making something that was Illegal now Legal?
Threats - its what 0bama and all Community Organizers do BEST!
This is a hanging curve ball. Let’s see if the pubbies have the chops to hit it out of the park.
FUBO
Taxes for roads and bridges have already been paid and collected and misappropriated.
Some states spent the funds for other things.

Bull Meister (aka President DumbA$$) you are clueless and the little sheeple are noticing.
All the Rs need to do is craft a video with his “newest” proposals interspersed with all the promises he made regarding his “old” proposals and then end with him laughing as he explains that”shovel ready wasn’t quite so ready as we thought!”
2011 - Now Obama wants us "on board."
2012 - Obama, we're going to take the wheel!
Will 0bama present a written plan?

Didn't the government already spend a trillion dollars on "shovel-ready projects"? How can there possibly be a single shovel-ready project left?
