"This agenda is paid for," Obama said as the Republican National Committee promoted an "Obama Spend-O-Meter" online to track his proposals and portray him as a tax-and-spend liberal. Obama explained that the money for his spending proposals will come from ending the Iraq war, cutting tax breaks for corporations, taxing carbon pollution and raising taxes on high income earners.

Obama explained that the money for his spending proposals will come from:
ending the Iraq war,
cutting tax breaks for corporations,
taxing carbon pollution and
raising taxes on high income earners.
All four of these actions will cause job losses.
Did Obama factor that in his "job creation program"?

If you want to se what the country will be if Obamarama prevails,look no further than Massachusetts.Last year the moonbats here elected Deval Patrick,an African-American moonbat.His campaign was eerily similar to Obama’s,speaking eloquently about nothing.Since Patrick’s become governor,it’s been one mishap after another.Totally overmatched.There are too many things to list here. Point is Obama will be no match for the job at hand should he win.

there are a large number of jobs in construction right now-more jobs than there are people to fill them-Americans do not want to do manual labor. There is no need to spend additional federal tax dollars building any more “big digs”.

He wants 90 billion a year more for foreign aid, $845 billion over 13 years now he wants 210 billion for job creation.
Guess I need two or three more jobs just to pay for all the taxation this jack ass will levy to pay for Obamatopia.

Where does he think all that money he is going to spend comes from, the tooth fairy? And does he think the president's office will give him the right to spend without anyone's approval. I thought this child had been in the senate. By the way where did he work and what kind of work work did he do before ran for the senate?

“Today I want to take it down a notch,” Obama said. “This is going to be a speech that’s a little more detailed. It’s going to be a little bit longer, not as many applause lines.” When Obama actually starts filling his empty shell of hope in nothing with actual policy statements, applause will turn to booing.

Many of the imaginary jobs will be in the construction industry where illegals are hurting. Under different circumstances, this could be a McCain/Obama bill.

Here’s a message for you Mr. Obama.
I’m self employed, and my business provides jobs. I make a good living. Not a very good, or a great, living, just good. I could doing very good to great if I let the jobs go, and took my business 100% online.
You screw with my taxes, you do anything to make it even one iota harder for me to make ends meet, and I will do that.
I imagine there are about a million other small business owners who feel the same way, bud.

So he’s going to steal 210 billion dollars from private industry - which would otherwise be used to hire Americans for real jobs that provide services the public is willing to pay for - and instead use it to create federal jobs that at best do nothing and more often get in the way.
When this guy talks about hope and change, we can’t beat him. When he talks about what he actually hopes to change, he’s going to scare the hell out of people.
Keep the bright ideas coming, Hussein.

Obama is saying he wants to spend $150 billion to create 5 million jobs, that translates to spending $30K for each new job created. And he wants to spend a total of $210 billion, so that must mean that he wants to create 7 million new jobs.
There are just over 7 million people unemployed in this country and the unemployment rate is just under 5%; however, “full employment” is defined as between 3 and 7 percent. So, the reality is, we are either at full employment or very close too it.
All that will happen if we spend $210 billion to create 7 million jobs that we don’t even actually need is that businesses and individuals will be taxed more and spend less and we will LOSE more than 7 million jobs somewhere else.
