Obama declares 'national emergency' for action on jobs plan
By: Carrie Budoff Brown September 14, 2011 02:08 PM EDT
RALEIGH, N.C. — President Barack Obama opened the sixth day of his jobs push Wednesday with a campaign-style rally at North Carolina State University, saying the country is in the midst of a “national emergency” that requires Congress to act swiftly on his $447 billion plan.
Against the backdrop of more negative poll numbers and two special-election losses for Democrats, Obama called on thousands of college students assembled in the steamy Reynolds Coliseum to mobilize behind the plan, a mix of tax cuts and government spending on infrastructure, jobs programs and construction projects.
The 26-minute speech before a crowd of more than 9,000 echoed his remarks in previous days, with a slightly sharper critique of congressional Republicans for suggesting that they don’t want to give Obama a political “win” and pass his proposal.
“I get fed up with that kind of game plan, and we’ve been seeing it for too long. Too long,” Obama said. “We’re in a national emergency. We’ve been grappling with a crisis for three years, and instead of getting folks to rise up above partisanship in a spirit that says we’re all in this together, we got folks who are purposely dividing, purposely thinking just in terms of how does this play out just in terms of this election.”

Sounds like they desperately need this bill to pass quickly so they can get the half trillion to cover something that's about to blow up.
Obama isn’t going to ‘give in’....he’ll call on his brothers, both black and Muslim....riots and chaos.
Is anyone listening to the Zero any more?

Mr. President, a lack of proper planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on our part.
Thanks, much appreciated. Glad to see more than one person is looking.
They’ve actually been doing this for going on three years. Bureau of Printing and Engraving is printing billions (actually electronically through the Fed)...Fed buys our own T-Bills at auction (makes the value seem real and stirs interest by other foreign entities in them)....viola! More money with no value to finance the wholesale sloth, buyoffs and freebies...Money supply (dollar) is devalued, no value in any government instrument, markets are busy computer trading working the floats and quick bucks off suckers still in the market...EU is falling apart, banks insolvent, not enough money to support them...us? We’re still printing and betting for authority and taxes to support more deficit spending...chaos? it’s here, just not roaring aloud right now...MSM and government is hiding it.

What’s he gonna do? Have a going away party at the WH for GE when they’re moving to China?
This clown is a fraud!
As far as "naming rights" goes, there is no such thing. In other words, two bills may very well carry the same informal title/name, yet be radically different in content. Naming is often adjusted on bills that navigate the process to passage.

I don’t have access to Scribd w/o paying for a brief pass. The link isn’t quite loading properly even on a read-only (eg; can’t print) basis. All I can find at the moment.
Let me see if I have this straight. He goes to a college campus and encourages the 18 to 21 year olds to get behind his $0.5 trillion Bill, that will have to be paid back by raising taxes on these same 18-21 year olds when they matriculate, and he expects them to be excited? Either Obama is an idiot or the 18-21 year olds are.
It’s what we do!!
:)
Wait a minute, I have to take my vacation first.
Hilarious. You’re right, it wasn’t a “national emergency” until he got back from vacation. What a fool.
Congressional Record - 112th Congress - Page S5539 [Sept 13, 2011]
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the the text of the bill be printed in the RECORD.There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:
S. 1549
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the "American Jobs Act of 2011".
Video at link. Rep. Louie Gohmert starts at 2:50. Fox News "Follow the Money" interview includes Rep. Steve King of Ohio.
"If you loved the crap-and-trade bill, you're gonna love this...."
"It's feeling more and more like the 1930s," folks.
I have not checked. Does anyone know if Gohmert's bill has been filed?
Exactly. The next two days could be interesting.
Networks acknowledging this except FOX.
