WASHINGTON (AP) -- Seeking to jolt the economy, President Barack Obama will propose new ideas to create jobs and help the struggling poor and middle class in a major speech after Labor Day.

And then he will try to seize political advantage by spending the fall pressuring Congress to act on his plan.

Put it in writing or forget it. A speech isn’t worth anything. Put it in writing and send it to Congress.

What a relief! This ass-hat is going to let the unemployed know NEXT MONTH what he has proposed for them even though they're unemployed THIS MONTH!

$10 says it is the new dept. of jobs he’s spoke about which will create more government jobs but nothing more.

I think missed the point of these "new plans." I think they are little more than Boob bait for Bubbas.

Hey, he’s a busy guy. He’s got to drive around in his Caknuckle-head bus campaigning and eating pie for three days then he has ten days of vacation to get to.

So this whole bus tour is solely to provide staged forums for blasting REPUBs with maximum news coverage and to announce that he is going to give a speech in September.

Amazing. If a REPUB pulled this kind of “Got Nothing” stunt, the MSM would be criticizing it 24/7.

I had my doubts about that community organizer at first but his laser focus on jobs has really impressed me. The ability to refocus on something that he continually loses focus on is pure determination. I’m getting a tingle down my leg just waiting for his September speech. /s

Palin announce in Sept.?

So Obama will ‘propose ideas’ for jobs, after 3 years and Trillions of dollars later.

What a fool! He’s so in love with his own voice, he just can’t shut up. And all he’s doing is p*ssing EVERYONE off every time he opens his Marxist trap. Now, Maxine & the Congressional Black Caucus is really pee-o’d too, lol!

Psssst: BO, your jig is up. We know you are deliberately trying to ruin our economy - but you’re going down FIRST!

All the stories state that the speech will be sometime after Labor Day. However, nowhere does it say if that's 2011 or 2012?

Well there is certainly no reason for the President to feel any urgency regarding getting the economy back on track. Take your time Barry. It’s not really a pressing issue.

All I know is, when you lay out your verbal plan, I’LL be shovel ready.

Actually, I think we can give thanks that the “plan” won’t be released until next month. I for one am happy to see Obama on vacation; if he’s not in Washington there may be less chance he can reek havoc on the country.

“the President to feel any urgency”

Testing various focus-group “phrases” for TOTUS takes a while.
