President Obama on Thursday night will appeal to Congress to "stop the political circus" and help him get the economy moving again with a package of spending and tax cut initiatives expected to cost $447 billion.
"The people of this country work hard to meet their responsibilities," Mr. Obama will say before a joint session of Congress, according to his prepared remarks. "The question tonight is whether we'll meet ours. The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy."
Calling his economic package the "American Jobs Act," Mr. Obama plans to tell the legislature that Washington can't turn the economy around itself, but it can provide a boost to the private sector. The bill "will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled, and give companies confidence that if they invest and hire, there will be customers for their products and services," Mr. Obama will say.
The president will tell Congress, "you should pass this jobs plan right away," arguing that his plan is fully comprised of ideas that have in the past gained bipartisan support. Furthermore, every idea in his bill will be paid for, he'll say.

Hey Odumbo....Repeal Obamacare, fire the czars, undo every executive order you’ve laid down, pack your bags and those of your vagrant relatives, resign, leave D.C., and then
we’ll talk about your jobs fiasco. FUBO!
That of course is correct. The Left very capably (and often unconsciously) uses the verbiage of the conservative to project their authoritarian agenda. A RESPONSIBLE person does not need the Government to dictate his actions and behavior. It is supposed to be standing up for him. The Conservative versus the Left.

Well come up with a number we can fix our sights on already.
Is it $300, $400 or closer to $1 Trillion?
Be specific!
If $1T was not enough, $446B's not gonna do anything. He should go for $10T, minimum! No, make that $20T!!
This guy might be the most clueless F—k that has ever lived.
PLEASE!
Do NOT give the Kenyan Keynesian Socialist any ideas!

For gov't, that IS specific!
It looked like everybody there was a little bit grumpy looking. I don’t think the presidents wife wanted to be there. Hillary looked worn out. Biden never smiled. The Speaker looked smug. There was no organized clapper to tell everybody to clap, so they just randomly clapped when the feeling hit them. Individuals, groups: it didn’t matter. If I was to size up the majority feeling in the room it would have been, “You mean we had to fight our way through a rain storm for this.†Grumpy.
“I can’t imagine Obama appealing to anyone.”
Paging larry sinclair. Paging chrissy matthews. Paging entire CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, PMSNBC “journalist” staff.
Too true...
