Obama's Still Ignoring The Obvious
TalkingSides.com ^ | 09/17/11 | CaroleL

Another day another version of President Barack Obama's 'Pass This Bill' speech. This time he used his weekly radio address to push his American Jobs Act saying, "every one of you can help make it happen by telling your congressperson to pass this jobs bill right away." But he has yet to explain how his new plan can possibly work when virtually the same ideas at double the cost didn't work last time.

Mr. Obama is offering the same kind of temporary tax cuts, extremely targeted tax credits and employment subsidies that were contained in 2009's $800 billion stimulus bill. Then as now, he went into crisis-mode demanding swift passage of the bill to keep the national unemployment rate below 8% and get it down to 6% within months. It rose to over 9% and is still there with the underemployment rate, which includes those who have stopped looking for work, at 16.2%.

Obama is a narcissitic Liberal through-and-through.

You are a RACIST if you judge him by the results of his actions.

He should only be judged by his INTENTIONS.

Come to think of it, those aren't so hot, either.

Obama knows he can’t improve the economy between now and the election, so his only hope is to persuade the public that it’s all the fault of the Republicans in Congress.

Yes. Maybe somebody, somewhere, believes that "Obama's plan" will turn into jobs. I don't think that is the point. The point is to seem to be doing something, to be a man of action.

It will fail, just like everything else this guy does. The absolute worst president ever.

Obama point is not to just “do something” looking like a “man of action” he is going to paint the congress as an the reason his worthless jobs program isn’t working

“I promised you hope and change and the republicans took it away”

Pass what bill?

The last time I looked there wasn't any proposed legislation attached to Obama’s job effort. In fact, the 150 page document isn't in legislative language. Even if the paper was in legislative language not one Democrat has introduced it in either the House or Senate. Even harry Reid isn't supporting it.

BTW the only jobs bill out there is a Republican bill that high-jacked Obama’s effort since there wasn't any legislative action. So, if you pass the jobs bill that Obama is yelling about you aren't passing anything he has proposed.

Wonder how long it will take the LMSM to start reporting on this? A headline might read “Don't Pass the Jobs Bill!” Wouldn't that be rich!

Nobody listens to anything he says anymore. They just laugh. Who listens to weekly radio addresses anyway. Seems like that is something that time has passed.

You know I was actually hoping that Obama would come up with something, ANYTHING, in his “Jobs” speech and bizarre jobs bill.

I actually listened to his ridiculous speech.

My only conclusion is that he is dangerously insane.

Yeah, nowadays he could just have one of his lackeys do a weekly web posting of what he would have otherwise read off a script (or a teleprompter, even though it’s radio). That way, they can cut out the middle man and give him a little extra time on the golf course.

I'd rather pass a kidney stone.

This frigging nut is making a mockery of all of us.
He needs to be run out of the country.
I don't want to spend my next forty years looking and listening to this A-hole.
It seems these loser, failure ex-dem presidents never disappear.
