Everybody remembers the urgency of President Obama's attitude toward the awful jobs situation.
Back in early August, Obama said the jobs situation was so urgent that he was going to give another speech about it -- in a month or so, in September after his vacation on Martha's Vineyard.

“Pass this bill! Right away!”

If this weren’t so pitiful (and serious), it would be a hoot!
I hope he is visiting the other planets.
L.A. Times?

President Barack Obama will call for new deficit cuts of $3.0 trillion but warn Republicans he will veto any bill that trims healthcare for the elderly without hiking taxes on the rich
“The article is cruel and nasty toward Mein Führer”
Don’t say that. Commies also hate the nazis. So call them a bunch of commies. They can’t disagree because that’s what they are but they’ll be put in a bind because they know everyone else hates commies.
BTTT
Obama is one imperious bastard, as that picture clearly shows.

LBJ got away with this sort of blatantly political manipulation because there were 3 networks, no internet, and he had successfully implemented the Fairness Doctrine.
Someone needs to tell Barry that it’s not 1968 anymore.
Congress should defund the President. So far he has spent more time at the golf course than he has in the office.
