Obama says vote on tax deal crucial, has potential to create 'millions of jobs'

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says a congressional vote on the tax-cut deal he negotiated with Republicans will determine whether the nation's economy "moves forward or backward."

The president again pressed Congress to pass the agreement, saying it has the potential to create millions of jobs. He said if it fails, Americans would see smaller paychecks and it would result in fewer jobs.

This is a gigantic stimulus bill, with a small rider extending the current tax rates attached on the side.

ROFL! He knows damn well this won’t result in a better economy...in fact it will just get worse. He plans on blaming that on the GOP.

Well, listen to our supply-side president! Tax cuts yield trillions of new jobs and more money for his stash!

I’m sure he was for this all along.

What a totally empty suit amoral weakling political whore.

What a jerk! If the BUSH TAX CUTS are extended, it will keep things more or less as they are, instead of getting much, much worse.

So, true, it will probably help prevent the LOSS of several million more jobs.

Thank you, Bush. You were a big spender, and threw money around carelessly, but your tax cuts were good ones, well chosen and actually real, unlike most so-called tax cuts.

The Reagan tax cuts were the best, and the Bush tax cuts were second best. All the rest of them were basically frauds.

The leopard is trying to change his spots. We need to do a good job in the next couple of years helping the sheeple remember what Zer0’s REAL political and economic beliefs are.

Darn. You beat me. The cliche of the year — “save or create.” Like, “depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.”

ARTHUR: What happens now?
BEDEMIR: Well, now, uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I wait until nightfall,
and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the French by surprise —
not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!
ARTHUR: Who leaps out?
BEDEMIR: Uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I. Uh, leap out of the rabbit, uh
and uh....
ARTHUR: Oh....
BEDEMIR: Oh.... Um, l-look, if we built this large wooden badger—
