Obama's Jobs Bill--Is It Really A "Fig Leaf" To Hide Campaign Financing

President Barack Obama is on a three-day bus tour with "Motorcoach One", traveling through Virigina and North Carolina , still trying to convince everyone that his $447 billion "American Jobs Act" bill should be passed--especially after it was defeated in a floor vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate last week. Unlike his last bus tour through the midwest, this time the President Obama is holding his "speeches" in "smaller" towns--not served by "major airports"--perhaps thinking they may not have never heard or read about one of his famouse "pass this bill" speeches around the country so far.

At the regional airport in Asheville, North Carolina, Obama said that he would push for passage of his bill "in pieces."

Then, according to a FOXNews article today, Obama took a swipe at Republicans by saying ... "Maybe [they] just couldn't understand the whole thing all at once so we're going to break it up into bite-sized pieces so they can take a thoughtful approach to this legislation." "We saw what happened with the stimulus money. Much of that went to the states. And you know what happened? It sustained some jobs for about a year and then the states were faced with about billions of dollars in debt once that year was over it," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., told "Fox News Sunday."

President Obama has been touting the fact that "Independent economists, not my economists, but independent economists, have said this jobs bill would create nearly 2 million jobs."

Of course it is. It is a way to get ALL of us to pay for his campaigning. Just looks at the states he is choosing to travel to and just listen to him rail against republicans. He is sick-to the core.

Just like giving stimulus money out to groups who would, in return, contribute to his reelection. He is totally psycho, imo, an especially creepy piece of work. Watching him pin blame is so pathetic and shameful it's even turning off democrats. Who woulda ever thunk that?

I don't think people like this class warfare sh#t.
