With his jobs plan stymied in Congress by Republican opposition, President Obama on Monday will begin a series of executive-branch actions to confront housing, education and other economic problems over the coming months, heralded by a new mantra: “We can’t wait” for lawmakers to act.
According to an administration official, Mr. Obama will kick off his new offensive in Las Vegas, ground zero of the housing bust, by promoting new rules for federally guaranteed mortgages so that more homeowners, those with little or no equity in their homes, can refinance and avert foreclosure.
And Wednesday in Denver, the official said, Mr. Obama will announce policy changes to ease college graduates’ repayment of federal loans, seeking to alleviate the financial concerns of students considering college at a time when states are raising tuition.
The president’s announcements will bookend a three-day Western trip during which he also will hold fund-raising events in the two cities — both Nevada and Colorado are election battlegrounds — as well as in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The “We can’t wait” campaign is a new phase in Mr. Obama’s so-far unsuccessful effort — punctuated until now by his cries of “Pass this bill!” on the stump — to pressure Republicans to support the job creation package he proposed after Labor Day. It comes after unanimous votes by Senate Republicans in the past week to block the plan; House Republican leaders have refused to put the measure to a vote.

Are you kidding me?? The very first line is a HUGE lie! His own party defeated this stupid bill. Jeez, these people are absolutely shameless.
” Mr. Obama will announce policy changes to ease college graduates’ repayment of federal loans, seeking to alleviate the financial concerns of students considering college at a time when states are raising tuition.”
Aren’t there laws in place that that govern how those loans must be repaid? How can the Marxist bastard change laws on his own?
We can’t wait” for lawmakers to act.The idiot thinks he’s above all laws,keep feeding the ego you fool.

Meaning no disrespect partner, but where have you been?
He has been doing this for the past two years.
Using his regulatory agencies to make regulations when his laws wouldn’t pass, and turning loose criminals at the whim of his Attorney general. Supplying weapons to drug cartels.
and turning orders into amnesty for illegals.
Wake up, Obama doesn’t need the Congress and the Congress hasn’t the balls to buck him.
Thanks tobyhill.
Jackie Calmes, the NY Times reporter, is working as Obama’s stenographer. She is African American and is of the same political persuasion as Valerie Jarrett.
More government by edict, eh? We have a dictator in place...and a damn poor one at that. 2012 cannot come soo enough.
“Aren’t there laws in place that that govern how those loans must be repaid? How can the Marxist bastard change laws on his own?”
Because he can and his syncophants in the MSM will not tell the truth.
We expect that treatment from the Times, though.

"We Can't Wait" is the slogan and yet we've been waiting 34 months for recovery.
Why would ANY Student Loan college kid EVER think he should pay back the loan, when they KNOW this guy will just shove it up the Taxpayers' asses, and let them walk away to buy their votes?
What this country needs is a Military Coup, before the faggot/dyke Army is too sissified to be effective.
Lie. More 'rats voted against than republicans for.
those with little or no equity in their homes, can refinance
Sugar coated lie - this is more wealth redistribution.
ease college graduates’ repayment of federal loans
Trying to lock-in the OWS vote.
There is only one reason Obama’s “plan” has failed and it is the same reason any other Obama plan will fail. NO ONE Democrat or Republican has any faith in his ability to do anything.........
Obama’s plan has not failed. Obama has failed. America has no confidence in him. Nothing will improve until he is no longer the President....
I had to check if this was satire... and unfortunately it’s not
We Can’t Wait..
I agree. Impeach him now so America can move on...........
“We can’t wait”... for Obama to leave office.
LOL. So Hussein is saying he COULD HAVE DONE ALL THESE “HELPFUL” actions months ago...but he didn’t.
“How can the Marxist bastard change laws on his own?”
Well, in some instances, by simply signing an executive order. However, I doubt he can do anything about this situation without the support and approval from the House of Representatives since all spending bills must originate there. And the House is controlled by the Republicans, so it ain’t gonna happen.
Remember his last jobs bill? Same thing here.
He’s just a desperate asshat, throwing shiite against the wall trying to find something that will stick.
