President Obama's top campaign strategist said Sunday that the country needs to "accelerate" job creation in the private sector -- by hiring more teachers, police and firefighters.

If as Obama claims the government sector is hurting (while the private economy is doing just fine) the reason is it is being smothered by paying for the unrealistic, and unaffordable promises made to government workers over the last 30 years.
There is no Democratic plan for the economy or budget for the government. Just one cobbled together slush fund after another directed at political supporters like unions and donors. The GOP needs to state these facts at every opportunity.
Teachers, police and firefighters. The unions need more “workers” to pay “dues” to subsidize the DNC.
He’s trying to find some way toa plurality,fighting from behind. The only non-minority (term loosely and incorrectly used here to include gays) votes he will get will come from the very far left, public sector employees and union workers. He’s trying toi get as many of these as he can because he has no chance of getting any other white votes. His calculus to victory is getting very difficult.
The book is well priced and embarrassingly why Barack Obama has fooled everyone....the man is a Marxist/Socialist who has no love for you or America...a community organizer is a communist organizer or an organizer for Socialism which is of course, a freedom buster of no small consequence.
The country is overloaded with firefighters! This is why they horn in to the EMT business these days. There simply are not enough fires to fight. Party due to safety measure like smoke detectors. Also due to letting China take so many industries so factories are not there to catch on fire
All is not well in Obamaland.
Great post in a great thread! Thread BUMP!
Using this logic....then we ought to be hiring barbers left and right...to bring America out of this economic situation.
We ought to be hiring trolley car drivers left and right....to bring America out of this economic situation.
We ought to be hiring dog groomers left and right....to bring America out of this economic situation.
We ought to be hiring shoe salesmen left and right....to bring America out of this economic situation.
It seems curious that he’d pick the two fields where it’s all unionized. what’s the odds of that?
“Teachers, Police and Firefighters”. That’s what dems want us all to think is the entire public sector. T.P.F.’s don’t make up 1/100 of the public sector.

Roll back about three years. Much of the stimulus went to keep teachers, cops and firefighters on the job until Obama’s policies had fixed the economy. Now, since Obama has failed to fix the economy, he wants another stimulus to keep teachers, cops and firefighters on the job until he fixes the economy. Are the American people really this stupid?
Tried this before. Porkulus. Saved some teachers for a short time until the money ran out, then they got laid off.
Ultimate irony. In touting the benefits of porkulus, Obama did a presser featuring a young teacher whose job had been saved. One year later, when the money ran out, there was a report that the same young teacher had been laid off.
His plan is just a booster to public employees unions to get them on board for the election. He doesn’t care a whit about long term.
It's called doubling down. After reading the Narcissist thread this morning, it makes perfect sense. He's so much smarter than all us idiots, he just needs to lather, rinse,and repeat until we understand his greatness, his brilliant economic plan, and skittles and daisies will signal the arrival of Nirvana.
I don't think he's capable of understanding, re-evaluating, and restrategizing. His narcissism precludes any observance of failure, or understanding it.
They all just want to buy votes to re-elect their puppet.
The Obammunists are either stupid or evil. There is no other choice. Oh, Wait! Silly me! They might be stupid AND evil!
Sounds good though doesn't it? Obama wants to protect you and teach your children.
These jobs are paid for locally. Washington should have nothing to do with this. Seems Obama and the dims what local and state governments to be dependent on the federal government for these payrolls.
What they aren’t going to admit is most of these laid off ‘teachers’ aren’t even teacher’s...
PFT president Jerry Jordan said Tuesday that 270 of his members are receiving layoff notices, including 39 counselors, 85 people in the category covering parent ombudsmen and student advisers, 22 non-teaching assistants, and 97 supportive services assistants.
Other categories hit include secretaries, school operations officers, full-time class assistants, and six vocational teachers – two in home economics and three in industrial arts, he said.
District spokesman Fernando Gallard confirmed that 270 layoff notices would be sent out Friday, effective June 30, in time for the next fiscal year.
He said they were largely the result of school-based budget decisions.
