President Obama said Monday that the jobs plan he will unveil next week will include ideas with bipartisan appeal.
Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, Obama said his proposals will "put more money in the pockets of working families and middle-class families."
The president's plan, to be unveiled after Labor Day, is expected to include tens of billions of dollars to renovate thousands of public schools and a tax break to encourage businesses to hire new workers, according to people familiar with White House deliberations.
Though he did not offer such specifics in his remarks, Obama said his proposals "are bipartisan ideas that ought to be the kind of proposals that everybody can get behind, no matter what your political affiliation might be."
"So my hope and expectation is that we can put country before party and get something done for the American people," he said

Yes, it will appeal to liberals and Socialists.
Want to bet?
“Though he did not offer such specifics in his remarks,...”
Yeah right.
More Vapor-ware.
The Liberal feeding trough.
Obamah is late for everything.
He’ll offer some puny $3K to $5K tax credit for hiring a new employee. Then when the hiring doesn’t happen he will demagogue the employers as being “greedy” and “racists deliberately trying to undermine my Presidency”.
More money going into the schools? We don’t need renovation.......remember when schools were one room buildings? I think my parents and grand parents did pretty good with schools like this. Put all this on hold until our country comes back to what it’s supposed to be. We don’t need big fancy schools. We need superior education for the kids.
Yep. Lots and lots of jobs opening up for government bureaucrats and road construction crews.
Let’s see - that will include McCain, Graham, Snowe, Collins.....
I thought he got all the schools fixed with the last pork program? Are they broke again?
Back in the late 90’s New York State floated a bond issue and went nuts renovating almost every public school in the state. That worked out real well for them, didn’t it?

GOP..it wastes TOO much..the left..that it doesn't waste ENOUGH...
tens of billions of dollars to renovate thousands of public schools
Unless, of course, the schools just train people to be leftwing zealots. If that happens, we're screwed.
What? It already did happen?
Rats.
So he is going to resign? Because with a 36% approval in Gallup that move would have a lot of appeal in both parties and would likely cause a rebound in the economy.
Good grief..tens of billions of dollars to ‘renovate’ schools?
THIS IS HIS PLAN?
I guess the ‘stimulus’ money he doled out for the teacher union retirement funds has run it’s course. This is just a way to funnel money to the same damn money pit. It will probably have some byline that allows the school system to spend the money ‘on anything’ and then it will all pour into the stupid unions...AGAIN!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!
