Obama: could add 1 million new U.S. jobs
Reuters ^ | Aug 30, 2011 | Reuters

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Tuesday there were a range of policy options available that could create up to a million new U.S. jobs, in remarks ahead of a major economic speech that he will deliver next week.

Obama must boost growth and bring down unemployment to be confident of winning another White House term in the November 2012 general election. Economists are skeptical he will get Congress to agree to significant new spending on jobs.

"We don't have magic bullets, but what we do have, I think, is the capacity to do some things right now that would make a big difference," Obama said in a interview with popular radio talkshow host Tom Joyner.

The White House says details of the job creation proposals Obama will unveil next week are still being worked out and it has yet to announce an exact date or location for his speech, although Obama hinted at some of the ideas he would put forth.

Oh I get it. Bush was a dumb welfare state socialist, whereas Obama is a smart welfare state socialist on an even grander level, so that is supposed to make all the difference. Gosh, it just couldn't be the welfare state socialism that is the problem, now could it?

LOL! Would you buy a used car from this man?

Who can forget Dapper Dan, “the used car man”, whose motto was “I’d give them away, but my wife won’t let me”.

Obama can't directly do chit about private sector employment other than to get his ass and that marxist party of his out of the way. This is gonna be more federal jobs and more federal "funding". Who wants to bet there is a new federal agency created out of this.

These people are losers. None of them pass the "permanent loss of electricity test"; none of them.

If he could, or can do this, why has he not? What is keeping him? He had both House and Senate under Dem control for 2 years, and what did he do? The stupid Obamacare which everyone hates.

"We've got to do it, unfortunately, at a time when money is tight. George Bush left us (a) $1 trillion deficit,"

And now it's $4 trillion, thanks to the incompetent, destructive, anti-American, narcissistic, union-lapdog Obozo.

So there are now 3 million fewer people employed since he took office, but 9 million more people living in this country.

and he might be able to create "up to" a million new jobs?

“George Bush left us a $1 trillion deficit”

This line is beyond pathetic at this point. Your average CEO of a small company would never say things like this, they just deal with it.

He’s resorting to the tactics of an affirmative action beneficiary who has been exposed as unable to hack it on the job. Zero personal responsibility....it’s always outside forces conspiring against him.

Americas will accept this liberal crap forced upon us to a certain point, but we are aware, and they reached too far. Americans won’t tolerate this crap any longer.
