Obama: Creating jobs 'not rocket science' (Says the man who has created ZERO)

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.

he has not created zer0 jobs!

he’s actually created -3m+ jobs in the last 2.5 yrs

[yldstrk]

He’s right. It is not rocket science. You create an environment where small business thrives. The polar opposite of what the administration has done

[AU72]

Ironic coming from one who has killed off so many rocket science jobs.

[Ann Archy]

THIS from the man who put the Rocket Scientists out of jobs!!!

[Ann Archy]

i SWEAR i didn’t read your post first!

Everyone at the fundraiser should be embarrassed to have been there. How could anyone with half a brain support this moron. Apparently these idiots don’t have children and grandchildren, elderly parents, retirement portfolios and plummeting home values to worry about. And they certainly don’t care about their fellow Americans who are out of work. Their over-the-top, lock-step adoration for the first black president who isn’t even all black trumps everything else.

The great glorification of the black race trumps all practical concerns

Dude:

If it’s not Rocket Science, then why have you failed so utterly in getting US busineses to have the appropriate faith and trust in the economic policies of the US government to CREAT said jobs, Hmmmmm?

EPIC FAIL.

How could anyone with half a brain support this moron.

"Half a brain" may have overestimated those in attendance. They paid $15,000 to listen to the moron...

[sodpoodle]

From one who never held a real job - that’s true.

A show pony NOT a WORK HORSE!!!!!

[SMARTY]

“O” is sleepwalking through this Presidency. (As I suspect he sleepwalked through his ‘education’ and everything else before being elected).

He doesn’t know how anything WORKS...he doesn’t know how America works, he doesn’t know how the economy works, he doesn’t know how power works...etc. We could fill the universe with what he does NOT know!!

[cranked]

So says the IdiotPOTUS who chuckled that shovel ready jobs weren’t so shovel ready..... =.=

[silverleaf]

actually, there are thousands of rocket scientists out of work now, thanks to Barry’s vision for NASA

[Twinkie]

“It’s not rocket science.”

The pat answer of the elite academic.

It would be interesting to find out how many attended that fundraiser and paid $15,000 per head. Imagine if each one took that money, divided it in half, and instead gave $7,500 each directly to two unemployed people who are losing their homes, their cars, and unable to even buy food. These libs talk about being "caring and concerned" people...but how many of them would empty THEIR pockets to help someone directly, rather that say it is the government's job?

I know several people who have never, ever personally helped a struggling family directly, taken them food or clothing, paid their bills, etc. But they insist "we" should and want government entitlement program to handle the problems of the less fortunate. While those same people go on their merry way, not wanting to actually involve themselves with the less fortunate, and thinking that by supporting govt. handouts they are being charitable.

What a surprise they will get at their final judgment when they are reminded by God that charity is not the government's job, but the job of individuals on a one on one basis. And the politicians who have benefited from these enormous fund raisers, just so they can go to Washington and weild power and fill their own pockets, will face similar judgment also.

I think if a politician would take the stand that he wants everyone who supports him/her to use their political contributions to help needy people in their areas instead of for some campaign fund...that person would be elected to offic by both the donors and recipients. He/she would be elected based on the merit of their moral fiber and concern for people, rather than the size of their campaign coffers.

The great glorification of the black race trumps all practical concerns

Black is the new Roman Aristocracy, watch TV, watch your TV commercials, even though they comprise 12% of the US population there is a smiling black face in 75% of all commercials containing actual humans. In the commercials the black is always the smartest, most educated , helping out the white dolt with his hemorrhoids or mutual funds. There has been a massive sales job to promote blacks, with its end game to dull us into accepting a black man doing whatever he wants to our lives.

Maybe he hasn’t created any jobs, but that’s not the measure he told us to use. The correct measure is “created or saved”. And he’ll tell you that he’s saved millions of jobs. So if you still have a job you can thank Obama.

[andy58-in-nh]

Obama, The Wisest Man Ever to Be President has already told us all how he thinks jobs are created: by public investment (that would be "government spending" to you and me) on infrastructure projects and by extending unemployment insurance payments (I think that would also be considered "spending", but then again, I didn't go to Harvard). And also: by extending the payroll tax cut. Well, that plan has certainly added back a few dollars into people's pockets each week (to be snatched back on April 15th, of course), but as to the evidence that it has created jobs?

I would suggest there's more empirical evidence supporting the existence of UFO's, one of which apparently left behind a tall, thin alien life form, based upon its cluelessness about what humans commonly understand and a lack of anyone who seems to recall him prior to about 1981.

RE :"“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."

Well if Federal borrowing of $500K to give to State projects hiring one worker with it only paying $20K in taxes counts as with the stimulus, this is true. However define 'a job' as a new worker that pays more taxes than he costs the government and you got another story.
