(Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Tuesday there were a range of policy options available that could create up to a million new U.S. jobs, in remarks ahead of a major economic speech that he will deliver next week.
Obama must boost growth and bring down unemployment to be confident of winning another White House term in the November 2012 general election. Economists are skeptical he will get Congress to agree to significant new spending on jobs.
"We don't have magic bullets, but what we do have, I think, is the capacity to do some things right now that would make a big difference," Obama said in a interview with popular radio talkshow host Tom Joyner.
The White House says details of the job creation proposals Obama will unveil next week are still being worked out and it has yet to announce an exact date or location for his speech, although Obama hinted at some of the ideas he would put forth.

Let’s create 8 million jobs...here is the ‘plan’:
IMPEACH OBAMA!!
Where is he going to get these jobs from? The Magic SEIU Fairy?
“Obama: could add 1 million new U.S. jobs”.....and all it takes is him resigning so the economy can recover without his interference.....
Well said. Well said, indeed.
Well, I could turn into a unicorn that farts rainbows. Doesn’t mean that’s going to happen.
Can we start again with the Constitution and the Bible?
They served us well until the activist judges of the 1960s started tossing God to the gutter.
LOL! I was going to post the exact same thing!
Yeah, you bastard; Bush left you a $trillion deficit which you tripled in one year.
That is a nasty thing for one President to say about another. Stay classy, Obama!
Paybacks are a bitch and Obama deserves double derision from the next President.
I coined a similar phrase: if ifs and buts were squirrels and nuts then there’d be no place left to hide them.
If jobs were on his agenda, he’d have done this in his first year in office. They aren’t, he didn’t...but most will want to believe these lies....again.
I do believe that TARP was the reason for the trillion dollar deficit in 2008, but since what at least 80% of that money has been paid back didn’t Bush really leave Obama with a 500 or so billion dollar deficit?
Charlie Brown, Lucy, football..
OK, what’s his big idea?
1) Census II? The first one held down unemployment for a while.
2) A boiler room making phone calls asking the public what they would do to reduce unemployment? Think how many people he could hire to make the phone calls.
3) Someone to keep score while he plays golf?
4) Doubling the number of Michelle’s attendants?
5) ?
Yah, you dumb ass RAT bastard 0dumb0, and you just added another FOUR TRILLION to the deficit in just the last 30 months.
Why in the hell won't Repubs go on the warpath with a simple comeback like this, and scream & hollar this statement right back at the media, and challenge the media to demand answers from 0dumb0 when he makes such a blatant stupid statement. Anyone ought to be able to call 0dumb0 out on such an easy idiotic statement.
Personally I am very concerned that crybaby Boehner & the weenie Repub House leadership will cave in and give 0dumb0 90% or more of what the bastard is asking for. Boehner has squandered the entire Nov 2010 mandate by folding & capitulating to 0dumb0 repeatedly , even though Boehner was holding the entire deck. Boehner is scared sh__less of 0dumb0!!!
Obama can create 1 million jobs and I can fart gold nuggets out my ass.
“President Barack Obama said on Tuesday there were a range of policy options available that could create up to a million new U.S. jobs, in remarks ahead of a major economic speech that he will deliver next week.”
Really? Then I wonder why Obama didn’t use these “policy options” a year ago or even two years ago to create a million jobs earlier? Did it take two years for Obama to figure out these new “policy options”? Of maybe Obama was just too busy to get around to creating a million badly needed jobs? Or maybe, just maybe, Obama is just totally blowing smoke about this, just like be blows smoke about everything else, except of course those ideological issues that really matter to him, like destroying the U.S. by turning it into just another European workers paradise. He’s actually been pretty good at implementing this latter set of “policy options”, though it’s really too bad that millions of jobs have been permanently destroyed as a consequence.
0zero “could add 1 million jobs”. Sarah Palin “Will add 10 million jobs”.
I’m liking that.
