Hoping to break an impasse, President Barack Obama today will extend a new offer to congressional Republicans in which he would back an overhaul of the corporate tax system in exchange for a guarantee that a resulting one-time windfall be used to underwrite various job creation proposals.

Mr. Obama will lay out the plan in a speech he is to deliver in Chattanooga, Tenn., in a bid to win over Republican lawmakers who've opposed White House requests for new spending on roads and bridges and other projects aimed at boosting employment.

He is a joke....and it is PATHETIC that no one on the Republican side will be in Chattanooga today to follow up the Clown's POSING with some payback.

Lucy tells Charlie Brown that she will hold a football while he kicks it. Charlie Brown usually refuses to kick it at first, not trusting Lucy. Lucy then says something to persuade Charlie Brown to trust her. Charlie Brown runs up to kick the ball, but at the very last second before he can kick it, Lucy removes the ball and Charlie Brown flies into the air, before falling down and hurting himself.

We had a $780B stimulus that was supposed to revive the economy. It didn’t. Now he wants more of the same. When the $$ is spent, all those jobs will just go away—again.

Obammy is starting to worry legacy and it is certain he’ll be at the bottom of the positive accomplishments list

Job creation programs are theft. He has run out of money to steal and is being creative.

The Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise

This is just more jesse jackson extortion. obama wants to funnel more money to blacks and muslims and he wants to extort it from corporate America in a deal where he agrees to do what the hell he should be doing... getting Americans back to work... but that is not his agenda and he would never keep his word in any case.

If Obama wants to co-operate with Republicans you can bet the Republicans will come out on the losing side.

At this point it's apparent that whatever bait he's dangling is going to have a hook in it.

He'll try to find some way to use taxpayer money to bribe the companies to provide jobs for his supporters, and when that money runs out, make them keep those workers and get rid of the normal people.

No good can come of this. It just ain't in him.

If there’s a resulting one time windfall, it’s a tax increase. Obama never really cuts taxes; he plays a shell and pea game, shuffling around the laws so they sound better, but always looks to increase government involvement and control.

"Who would trust him?"

Only a fool

We have a ‘Charlie Brown’ Congress ..... perfect!

[LibLieSlayer]

obama will offer boner some corporate tax breaks and maybe a rule eased here and there but the bottom line is that they will be meaningless to any of us and obama will get another 50 billion to replenish his slush fund. obama will then use “I CUT TAXES” as a club to beat us over the head with in 2014. These rinos are dangerous.

McCain will be all for it!

Obama guarantee = Hook

[copaliscrossing]

Haven’t we heard this promise before.... I’m sure there jobs are “shovel ready” too...lol. Methinks the shovels are in a corner rusting away.

The title of this article more appropriately should read "More Obama wealth Redistribution offered to appease the scared GOP"
