Closing out his bus tour on a low-key note, President Obama made a pitch for his jobs package at a firehouse, where a subdued crowd needed a bit of prompting to applaud his proposal to boost the economy.
Obama visited Fire Station 9 to draw attention to a major piece of his $447-billion jobs package. He wants to spread $35 billion among states and cities, in part to prevent layoffs of police and firefighters, and would pay for it with a surtax on millionaires. Congress may vote on that measure as early as this week.
On Wednesday afternoon, Obama stood at a lectern against a backdrop of firefighters and offered his prescription for solving the persistent jobs crisis: "A fair shot for everybody; a fair share from everybody. That's the principle that built America."
The president got a polite reception from the 100 or so people crowded into the station garage. Early in his speech he mentioned his American Jobs Act.
One or two people clapped.
"You can go ahead and clap," the president said. "Go ahead, nothing wrong with it."

I watched the evening news last night. At the campaign stop that was televised, he was introduced by something like the 3rd Secretary to the Assistant Vice Principal of the local school. None of the local pols wanted anything to do with him.
Good news, I think.
Now he can’t get a rent-a-crowd to show up. How sad. Not.
“Mr. President...How can we miss you, if you don’t go the F*&K away!!?!?!!”
Has a VERY SIMILAR ring to it, doesn't it?
These socialist bastards all sing the same tune:
Also, sometimes stated as "From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs"
Has ANYONE pointed out that Obama’s vaunted jobs bill has the budget longevity of 1 year?
Its like scratch and sniff, even a three year old can scratch and the sniff? Its a lot worse than horse pucky.

This was a closed, staged, event packed with union feces. Even with that parameter he couldn’t get anyone to swoon or faint.
He did tie up traffic for over an hour on I-95 while they closed it in both directions.
More people cursing him than praising him.
That is HILARIOUS!
Hussein, the clown at the top of the executive branch, can barely get 100 people...I can hear the conversations...
"Hey honey, I hear Obama is down the block speaking. Wanna go?"
"Naw, why bother? Let's wash the dog."

Ann Compton is a disgusting excuse for a journalist. I’d like to meet her sometime and let her know how I can’t stand her and her ilk.
It scares the crap out of me that this man has his finger on the button. I believe he is mentally unstable.
