How is President Obama going to say anything in his big jobs speech tomorrow night that will make a difference?
Apparently he is not. Obama’s new jobs plan looks remarkably like his $830 billion 2009 economic stimulus package.
According to Al Hunt the latest Obama job plan stimulus includes tax cuts, infrastructure spending, unemployment benefits extension and direct aid to state and local governments. At an estimated cost of $300 billion, it looks like another so-called stimulus that won’t be any more effective than Obamacrats’ http://www.examiner.com/right-side-politics-in-national/the-obama-stimulus-predictions-vs-reality.
According to the Associated Press almost half of the $300 billion cost of new Obama stimulus would come from a one year extension of the two percent reduction in the payroll tax paid by workers due to expire December 31, and a new decrease in the portion of the tax paid by employers.
In typical Obama fashion, Obama proposes to pay for his new stimulus plan by asking Congress to raise tax revenue in later years.

Actually, the structure of this one is much better than the porkulus that they passed last time. That being said, its still a waste of money and wont get through.
Bwahahaha.

paulplantowin Wednesday, September 7th at 11:42AM EDT (link)Obama’s. He is running a ‘plan’ out that will be impossible for Republicans and especially Tea Party folks to support simply to attack them for putting party above country. He’s got no positive record, he has absolutely no choice but to attack his opponents. That’s it. His job, period.
What does it matter?

anjinconsulting Wednesday, September 7th at 12:49PM EDT (link)have not spent enough of your money, and Pelosi has made it obvious that no rebuttal is tantamount to disrespecting such a logical and well thought out strategy devised by the One.
The man-child president is truly machiavellian though; his passionate plea for more money to spend on labor unions and Uncle sugar benefactors will only foment more hate and discontent among them when it is challenged. What better way to justify unilateral action against your political opponents than to have a national emergency such as labor riots or class/race warfare? Its a tried and true tool of every leftist government or junta.

Eric Cantor has a site where the bills are listed and which ones have passed and which ones are stuck in Senate. Lots of them are stuck in Senate.
Get this out in front of him!
The let him go ahead and try to say that Republicans are in the way. Quite the contrary Obimbo old chap, you are the One.

How Obama can easily stimulate the economy, jobs ...
carlstevenson Thursday, September 8th at 6:12AM EDT (link)Obama can make a TRULY grand speech … 4 words … “I resign, effective immediately.”
Yes, I know, that Joe Biden would become president … but at least Joe lacks the intelligence to exhibit the same level of malevolence towards the American economy and way of life as has Obama.
