WASHINGTON – Declaring "I don't quit,'" an embattled President Barack Obama vowed in his first State of the Union address Wednesday night to make job growth his topmost priority for the year and urged a divided Congress to come together around new stimulus spending and short-term economic relief. He said he would still pursue ambitious longer-term changes to health care, energy, education and beyond.

"Change has not come fast enough," Obama said before a politician-packed House chamber and a TV audience of millions. "I do not accept second-place for the United States of America. As hard as it may be, as uncomfortable and contentious as the debates may be, it's time to get serious about fixing the problems that are hampering our growth."

Hey HUSSEIN! You said the STIMULUS was going to CREATE JOBS!

You are a massive liar and an utterly miserable failure.

Wanna create jobs, Kenyan Commie? Quit. Leave the White House. The markets will FREAKING SOAR.

“I do not accept second-place for the United States of America....”

As hard as you’ve worked Obama to turn this Nation into a Third World country, the least you could do is accept second place. /sarc.

"Change has not come fast enough," Obama said..

..so with my big move to the center, I want all you obstructionist Republicans to join me in pushing my progressive/communist programs. Together, with all willing RINOs, we can carry all those issues that Americans are clamoring for; cap-and-trade, Obamacare, military flaunt-it and bear-it gay soldiers, MORE stimulus, bigger government, extended welfare, and bigger unions. Come on America! Yes, we can!

Unemployment wasn’t supposed to get to 8% if the stimulus was passed and it did.

The Pres'ent DUh-bama also said he'd not raise taxes "by one thin dime"...I guess he was right after all since he and his fellow JACKASSES already raised taxes by several DOLLARS.

“I’m not watching either.”

I did one better: I had my back to the TV and it was on mute.

Futures advance on Obama’s speech

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Futures-advance-on-Obamas-rb-1236152117.html?x=0&.v=19

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock index futures added gains in late after-hours trading on Wednesday as investors took President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech as toning down some of the rhetoric that unnerved investors last week when he unveiled new restrictions on U.S. banks.

“If you go back to what he said last week it was incredible how adversarial he was from a standpoint of the financial system: banks and fat-cats on Wall Street versus poor little Americans,” said Alan Lancz, president of Alan B. Lancz & Associates Inc, an investment advisory firm, based in Toledo, Ohio. “It seems from what I’ve heard he has toned down the rhetoric.”

This is odd for a man whose imperative is to destroy the economy.

You’re probably right and it is enough to make me want to puke. It is like saying you would have been better off to be bitten by the Cottonmouth moccasin rather than the Diamondback rattler that got you.

First, I don't believe a word out of obama's mouth. Nothing he can say or do will change that. Once a psychopathic socialist liar...

Second, just WTF has he been doing during the economic crisis if not focusing on jobs? Oh, yeah, that's right - focusing on ramming his socialist/fascist vision down our throats. No thanks obama.

Third, I guaran-damn-tee you his idea for "focusing on jobs" will involve more deficit spending, more taxes, bigger government. Again, no thanks obama.

You really want to help the Country obama? Try some pro-business policies for a change. No, wait, you're so ill-equipped, ill-trained, un-experienced, and just plain incompetent you'll screw that up too. Tell you what, you want to help, go on vacation, don't do or say anything about the economy, business, taxing, spending, etc. for oh... how about a year? The natural shrinkage of government thus paralyzed will be the best thing you could do for businesses, jobs, and the economy as a whole.
