Obama: I Can't Name A Time When Someone Would Rather Have A Check Than A Job

RCP Video ^ | 1-7-2014

[Sir Napsalot]

(snip)

Now, I've heard the argument that says extending unemployment insurance will somehow hurt the unemployed because it saps their motivation to get a new job. I -- I really want to -- I want to go at this for a second. (Audience murmurs.) I -- you know, I -- (applause) -- that really sells the American people short. I meet a lot of people as president of the United States and as a candidate for president of the United States and as a U.S. senator and as a state senator. I -- I meet a lot of people. And I can't -- I can't name a time where I met an American who would rather have an unemployment check than the pride of having a job. (Applause.)

Obama: "If We Don't Provide Unemployment Insurance, It Makes It Harder For Them To Find A Job"

Today's a Twofer.

[TurboZamboni]

If you like your check for not working you can keep it.

[Sir Napsalot]

So, Mr. President, where are the jobs?

[Doogle]

....check with some of your aliases who used the other social security numbers you lying POS....

[Sir Napsalot]

Obama: “So America’s getting stronger and we’ve made progress and the economy is growing. And we’ve got to do more to make sure that all Americans share in that growth. “

The F’n lying bastid.

[txhurl]

Waiting for the article headline ‘because the chronically employed are not attractive to employers’, which he actually said.

[Sir Napsalot]

I can see it coming.

Another ‘Spread The Wealth’ SOTU theme.

Six year in a roll.

[Jane Long]

This pRezident doesn’t create jobs...he creates crises that produce FRN’s out of thin air, that go straight into the pockets of his cronies.

“I can't name a time where I met an American who would rather have an unemployment check than the pride of having a job. (Applause.)”

You'd also be hard pressed to name a time when jobs were so hard to come by for so long a stretch of time . It's funny that after five years of your “leadership” A crappy check is all you have to offer them with no other hope or relief on the horizon

[goodnesswins]

HEY....give EVERYONE UNEMPLOYMENT benefits! It’ll improve the economy, and help the unemployed be motivated....so says the KING.

[CMailBag]

I can’t remember the time when Obama told the TRUTH about anything...

[Mr. K]

I CAN SHOW YOU MILLIONS OF THEM YOU DUMBA$$

[Mr. K]

The dumba$$sery is even getting into the teleprompter...

These are two of the silliest platitudes I have heard from him.

[TADSLOS]

There’s just not enough gub’mint jobs to go around...but Obama’s workin’ on it...one round of golf at a time.

Obama: I Can't Name A Time When Someone Would Rather Have A Check Than A Job

[tired&retired]

What a maroon!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Not enough jobs even though the president has been “focused like a laser” on job creation.

[lurk]

Go into any rough part of a big city.

Throw a cat in any direction.

The cat will hit a person who would rather have a handout check instead of a job.

[ballplayer]

then why is he just offering the checks,instead of jobs?
