Obama: Creating jobs 'not rocket science' (Says the man who has created ZERO)
Washington Examiner ^ | 08/09/11 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 08/09/2011 4:58:55 AM PDT by nhwingut

Barack Obama attended a high dollar fundraiser last night after the stock market lost over 600 points in daily trading, but he didn't demonstrate the panic that struck Wall Street that day. [... ]

The president told donors that he was concerned about partisan deadlock and the dysfunctional political culture in Washington.

“This is not rocket science in terms of how we can create more jobs in this country,” he said at a fundraiser where tickets cost $15,000 per family.

It would be interesting to find out how many attended that fundraiser and paid $15,000 per head........

Excellent point. This is so bogus---like the time O's ex-COS Rahm Emanuel said "HE had raised $10 Million" for his mayoral race. ROTFL

Candidate Obama and friends "The Fund-Raisers" are guys who really plan ahead.

Obama stashed away zillions for his campaign (looted from the US Treasury). All he needs is "contributor names and CV" to cover the FEC requirements. Remember that when Ohaha got in, his first moves were:

(1) taking over the census and placing it under the jurisdiction of the WH (has all the names and CV he needs for the FEC),

(2) taking control of the US Treasury, and,

(3) COS Rahm's brother taking charge of Medicare/Aid billions and O/Care billions.

Now we know why.

================================

Obama's top 2012 fundraisers include ex-New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine. TRANSLATION: That means Obama's getting back some of the $17.5 billion stimulus he dropped into NJ for Corzine's losing reelection campaign ....the stim disappeared without a trace upon arrival. Ace investigative news reporters could not find a trace of it.

NOTE: Corzine is a former Goldman Sachs head----Wall Street knows how to make govt money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in.

Obama has stashed billions, and nobody cares.

You really want a project that really needs money?

TAPPAN ZEE BRIDGE — A bridge that links It connects Nyack in Rockland County with Tarrytown in Westchester County and is a gateway from Westchester to Queens, NY and Long Island.

This bridge has millions of cars crossing it everyday and is DETERIORATING even as we speak.

If there is a need to either replace or strengthen a bridge, it is this one in New York.

I don’t think it’s that “nobody cares”-—they just don’t want to believe a US president is a crook.

Been over it hundreds of times. I had relatives in NYS and NYC both for many decades and traveled between them. That bridge is a great view(to cross) bridge much like Verizono is.

That is exactly what Matthews and others are calling on Obama to do, list all the bridges and tunnels with problems and propose Federal Taxpayers pay to fix them as part of a jobs program and dare House Republicans to oppose it, as an re-election ploy.

My comment: maybe if he and Pelosi used the stimulus money wisely an idea like that would sell, but throwing all that money away (and more) does not make a case for a massive infastructure-rebuilding project NOW.

You do know all these liberal states like Maryland pad the costs of building projects with union based living wage laws?? That is just one reason why the stimulus created so few jobs.
