President Obama Warns of Future Job Loss, “We are just not where we need to be yet”

I’m starting to think “hoping” for jobs really doesn’t cause “change” to happen all that quickly, or at all. Bummer.

Why does OBama just not tell us the truth? the Stimulis is not working,and the 3-4 million jobs he promised are not comming.

Just another sign that this administration doesn’t know what their doing with the economy. It’s their solutions that are killing us. Small business would be better off if they just left us alone.

Why doesn’t he just say he saved 3,000,000 jobs and be done with it? The American people are too stupid to know the difference, right?

His stimulus advisor has already admitted we’ve seen the best the stimulus would offer. She is not expecting anything significant from the stimulus in 2010. Hmm, Obama says we have a long way to go. The Dems can’t seem to stay on the same page at all.

If Obama and his policies saved 1 million jobs at a cost of $270,000 per job, he could done better by giving the money away. At $90,000 per citizen, he could have save 3 million families.

I believe Obama was partially raised by Mr Marshall (whom I think we will eventually find out that’s his father), we already know his mother cared nothing for him. I just believe he truly believes everything he hears himself say! I never thought Americans would elect someone like this to the Presidency. One consolation—betcha it won’t happen again!

Take a not-so-hypothetical scenario –
How does America re-train tens of thousands of over-paid auto workers? What hope can Obama offer that will make these families believe they can EVER regain their lost standard of income?

“How does America re-train tens of thousands of over-paid auto workers? What hope can Obama offer that will make these families believe they can EVER regain their lost standard of income?”

_____________________________________
You don’t have to spin it to realize the country was losing 700,000 jobs per month at the end of the Bush presidency, and that number is down to 166,000 (projected) for October.
Anybody who paid attention, heard the President say repeatedly from the beginning that this was a very serious economic crash that had occurred and that the fix would not be easy, nor quick – and that things might get worse before they get better.
Those of you who think a crashed major economy can be fixed in a matter of months are dreaming.

Cut goverment spending and use the saving to provide a tax cut for Small businesses as below:
bobtherepublican | Nov 2, 2009 12:59:20 PM
Yes, because we saw how great repeated deep tax cuts for the wealthy – sorry, business owners and bankers worked the last 8 years… You do realize that your ideas are “keep doing exactly what Bush and the Republican Congress did that to put us in this hole to start with”.
Taxes haven’t been this low in 80 year. The ‘cut taxes’ crowd is successfully nickle and diming America to death.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 did not include elimination of the penalty for withdrawing from your 401(k).
MayBee | Nov 2, 2009 1:09:20 PM
That would be one way of applying a stimulus, but it ultimately is adding to the national debt. The penalty is there for a reason and is part of the deal in return for the tax benefits the government gives to 401k’s. If you remove the penalty, 401k’s become a form of tax free savings accounts – another windfall for the wealthiest (the manager at McD’s does not have a big 401k account to raid, an ex-broker from Lehman Brothers certainly does).

Tierra,
61% of the pork in the stimulus went to Dems programs while 39% went to GOP programs. Here is the short list of the many $$ billions in pork in the stimulus::::: $2 billion earmark to re-start FutureGen, a near-zero emissions coal power plant in Illinois that the Department of Energy defunded last year because it said the project was inefficient. • A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film. • $650 million for the digital television converter box coupon program. • $88 million for the Coast Guard to design a new polar icebreaker (arctic ship). • $448 million for constructing the Department of Homeland Security headquarters. • $248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters.

That would be one way of applying a stimulus
==========
I’m not thinking of it in terms of stimulus.
I’m thinking of it in terms of people being able to get access to their money so they can support their families and pay their bills.

Tierra: Pork barrel spending is the “”"”"appropriation of government spending for localized projects secured solely or primarily to bring money to a representative’s district.”"”" These are projects that would not normally be on the bill and are attached primarily to ensure a vote through the bill process. As I read through many news organizations, the list I submitted was a talley of the major pork in the bill.

IMPEACH obama

lfrichar what nonsense. The primary purpose of the bill is to bring money into circulation – it’s a STIMULUS bill!
Just listing projects does not make them pork.
Where are your bogus “61% of the pork in the stimulus went to Dems programs while 39% went to GOP programs” figures from? This is your own personal tally? Sorry I have no reason to believe your figures because you seem to think just posting a project’s name makes it ‘pork’.
“After 10 months, the only real push he has is for a health care bill that the majority of Americans do not want.”
Nonsense, you ought to pay more attention to what this administration has already accomplished.
I know you hate Obama, but you should exercise some degree of fairness and accuracy.

It seems to me that Obama is describing the fate and state of his administration, rather than the national situation for employment.
1) Future Job Loss – cabinet members and czars in 2010, and then the Big Guy himself in 2012.
2) Not Where We Need to Be – march toward European nanny state socialism.

Sure, no problem. Here are some of the current administration’s accomplishments . ..
“Since his inauguration the President has removed barriers to responsible scientific research involving human stem cells, signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, signed legislation expanding children’s health care (SCHIP), established the White House Council on Women and Girls, pushed for enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act, which expands hate crime law– and he’s about to sign the bill, doubled the troops in Afghanistan and ordered an assessment as part of a thorough policy review pertaining to the war in Afghanistan, secured $5 billion in aid commitments for Pakistan “to bolster the country’s economy and help it fight terror and Islamic radicalism” within the country, engaged the Muslim world in a manner wholly underappreciated by right wingers but important nonetheless, led a meeting of U.N. Security Council heads of state, a first for a U.S. president, which resulted in the adoption of a resolution focused on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons, signed the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (the largest conservation effort in 15 yrs), put into place the framework for an auto industry recovery including an allocation of $2 billion in stimulus cash for advanced batteries systems, singed U.N. convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, signed credit card bill of rights, put $75 billion toward helping homeowners mostly via TARP funds, banned lobbyist gifts to exec branch employees, singed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which dedicates funds to alternative energy research, highway projects, and Health IT, the stimulus bill and Obama’s first budget dedicates money to high-speed rail, the Attorney General has directed federal prosecutors Monday to back away from pursuing cases against medical marijuana patients, signaling a broad policy shift that drug reform advocates interpret as the first step toward legalization of the drug, President Obama also signed the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act into law today, the Dow is UP; the Nasdaq is UP ; in May, U.S. home prices rose for the first time in THREE YEARS; in June, new home sales rose 11% and as we move into the last quarter of 2009, home sales figures have risen on average all over the nation meaning there are signs of recovery; Health Care Reform likely with some sort of “public option” will become law before year’s end. Regulatory reform on Wall Street will take awhile and it’ll be a slug fest, but that’s going to happen too. While some feel it’s not happening fast enough, the administration is sticking to the status of forces agreements with Iraq to pull out our forces on time, and while we may not meet the deadline, Gitmo will be closed and no longer serve as a recruitment tool for those who wish to destroy us; and the world views America more positively again. World opinion has noticeably gone back up. And while transparency may not be where we want it to be, this admin is the most transparent to date. Not perfect, not even good enough *yet* but a few steps in the right direction.
“Defense Secretary Gates, initially appointed by Bush “said the strategy Obama laid out for Afghanistan in March was the FIRST real strategy America has had in Afghanistan since the ’80s.”
He also has said he very much enjoys working with Obama, but that’s neither here nor there, I suppose — the point is the President is also the first to develop a real strategy for Afghanistan which I hinted at but didn’t spell out. It may be taking him longer than you’d like (though you’d likely complain no matter what) but somehow I doubt it will be simply about “muddling through.”

Posted by: Robert Maxwell | Nov 2, 2009 2:41:15 PM “I guess we don’t really NEED a new ice breaker. We don’t REALLY need a Coast Guard either. The victims of Katrina could have handled themselves quite well, thank you.” I think your a little off point. Like an Ice Breaker would be stationed of the Coast of New Orleans anyway! Well Maybe if Obama put it there. No one is saying we don’t have a need for some of the funding included in the Stimulus what we are saying is they all agreed something needed to be done and soon and certain members of congress took advantage of this to push through projects they otherwise probably would not have been able to get passed without the cover of this massive bill. So could the Ice Breaker have waited..I think so.

Don’t forget, plebes:
Any bad economic news is evidence of how horrible the economy was before Obama took over. And any good economic news is evidence that the stimulus is clearly working.
Any job “saved” by spending money counts as +1 for the Obama administration. But any job lost because of higher interest payments on the debt, decreased consumer confidence at the horrible regulatory policies of this administration, or the higher health care costs we are expecting — those won’t count as negative.
Remember, he’s President Obama. Only the good can be reported, not the bad. Anything good that happens is directly because of him. Anything bad that happens is in spite of his valiant efforts. All hail! All hail!

Obama’s policies have made this recession worse by far. Instead of getting companies to employ people in permanent jobs, or encouraging R&D so we develop new product, Obama has gone to the same old handout philosophy meant to control votes and enslave people. He and his Socialist buddies are wrecking the country and tomorrow is the beginning of his end. We are going to take back America one district at a time until Obama is powerless.

You don’t have to spin it to realize the country was losing 700,000 jobs per month at the end of the Bush presidency, and that number is down to 166,000 (projected) for October.
Posted by: tierra | Nov 2, 2009 2:08:39 PM
I hate to break this to you but the rate is slowing down – not because things are improving – but because corporations have laid off a significant number of their workforce are waiting to see what their bottom lines look like in the next few quarters – which is also one of the reasons why they are seeing short-term net profits in the 3rd quarter.
If the situation doesn’t improve, more layoffs will come in 2010.

“I also heard him say if the Stimulus bill wasn’t passed, the unemployment rate would go over 8%.”

===McCain was foolish enough 1) to select Palin and 2) to say the fundamentals of the economy are strong.===
That isn’t what Plouffe said. Talk to him. I paraphrased the releases from his book.

It does no good to try and tell OB anything. He and his advisers no better.

From Jake’s blog, June 16th:
“In January, the incoming administration predicted in a white paper study that without a huge stimulus package, unemployment would reach just over 8%, and would be contained at under 8% with a stimulus package.”
So for you nit-pickers out there, even though the Obama Administration “pushed” the 8% cap, Obama did not personally say this so it’s “right wing hogwash.” According to danita, Obama is not responsible for anything that he doesn’t actually say. Very convenient.

tierra —- That was a loooong post. Oh, all he’s done for stem cells is authorize government money, but private funding wasn’t banned for research anyway. He will not make his Iraq withdrawal date or Gitmo (while he sets up his new Gitmo in Afghanistan). Obama admitted the banks didn’t open up credit as he expected. Almost everything you wrote of on spending was mostly pork in the stimulus. Also, the START II treaty limits our nuclear capabilities and was scheduled for talks in May. His efforts are a normal part of the process. Banned lobbyists gifts, but he currently has over 12 lobbyists in his administration which he said “there’s no place for lobbyists in my administration”. Gates went “turncoat” to satisfy keeping his job. F-22, Prez Copter were his babies under Bush and now he axes them to waste over $4 billion. The medical grass is grossly abused and is allowing millions of healthy people to grow and use grass because it is out of control. You can see where we are going with this. Healthcare is a Democratic disaster. Spend, spend and spend some more on crap we don’t need or can’t afford. We’ll see in the polls how America feels.

“If somebody can show me a strategy that’s going to work, then we are happy to consider it.” Umm, well, how about you take less of OUR money, let us keep more of OUR money to STIMULATE the economy as WE see fit. That will enable small businesses to start/grow. If we feel secure in our jobs, we’ll feel secure in spending OUR money. How about deporting all the illegals so the unemployed can take the jobs that they’re now doing for slave labor and sending it back to Mexico (or wherever); they’re not stimulating the economy! (And didn’t we abolish slavery?) How about getting rid of the massive government beauracracy (maybe half of MEchelle’s maids-in-waiting)and QUIT SPENDING OUR MONEY! That’s good for starters. BTW: NO healthcare plan – 85% of us are happy; ‘fix’ it; don’t ‘overhaul’ it in the government form.

Hurry up, before we come to our senses!
That’s the way this president has run things thus far

And this is the man who said we must hurry and pass the stimulus so unemployment won’t go pass 8%..7.2 million currently unemployed…This is not the change people had hoped for. Obama knows with the passage of a health care bill there will be jobs lost and many more imaginable should cap and tax pass..I know first hand the latter will bring significant loss far reaching.

Tierra: Is this the quote you’re calling a bunch of hogwash right-wing lies?
“From the June 9 Los Angeles Times article, ‘Obama confronts doubts on stimulus, vows faster spending’:
“Results of the stimulus spending are difficult to measure, and so far the promised federal money has been slow in coming. As of May 29, just over 100 days since Obama signed the bill into law, only about 6% of the funds had been spent.
And on the jobs front, an early target was missed: Two of the president’s top economic advisors put out a report Jan. 9 predicting that with the stimulus spending, the U.S. unemployment rate this year would not exceed 8%. It now stands at 9.4%. That figure is higher than Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein had said it would be even if the stimulus package had not been adopted.”
Be careful and do your research before you start calling people liars.

The problem with the idea of jobs being saved is they arent being saved they are being lost continuously at an exponential rate. The percentage number just gets bigger every month. What to do really? How can you claim jobs saved if the number of unemployed keeps growing. You cant bail out a battleship with an ice cream scoop. It wont matter.

I want a bigger house and new cars so my wife and I are maxing our credit and spending everything to stimulate our economy. Thank you Mr. President for this thoughtful economic lesson.

Impossible! Joe said the stimulus is working better than expected. Apparently some right leaning reporter planted this story.
I expect the President to announce next week, we have saved or created 2 trillion jobs. And ABC will not question it.

No one holding the job of president of USA from now until infinity will ever be able to live up to the population’s expectations. Bush and Obama…both failures in the eyes of the beholder.

The economy is currently based on a service driven technological base, the manufacturing has left the soil of the U.S., service jobs are currently being outsourced daily,the entrepreneurial spirit has been demised with subpar educational base of our youth, the most educated of the world are staying put within their own nations and are driven by motivation to exceed the expectations of ones country, gone is the innovation that has once propagated exponentially on our shores. But our government does not want true reflection to recapture the American Spirit, greed has grown in its favor as a cancerous spread…special interest has control, we the people are relegated to complaints and complicity.

Obummer is DIRECTLY responsible for the loss of Union jobs in the coal mines going away – as his policies are SHUTTING DOWN THE MINES!
Way to go you back stabbing moron!

And yet he continues on a path of destruction, taxing businesses more, putting more burdens on the poor in the form of higher gas prices and utilities, higher health costs for everyone, straight out saying that he will bankrupt some industries and necessarily force utilities to skyrocket. Bank bailouts that have frozen credit instead of making banks more stable and enabling the flow of credit even to profitable and stable companies.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Insane Obama.

Is the cost of all this new bureaucracy included in the $1 trillion cost of the House Democrats latest version of Obamacare?

Everyone wants to blame Obama for the high unemployment….in the private sector, it’s not Obama’s or any other politician’s fault, they aren’t in charge of hiring. I think many companies have stripped down their work force, and are still getting by, but with lower employee morale, and having employees spread too thin. Most who have jobs aren’t trying to leave their companies. These corporate people are more concerned with the bottom line than they are the people who toil for them but that’s not any new news is it?

I think he has done a great job so far. we have only used 1/3 of the second bailout package and produced 3.5% growth. anyone who has studied even remedial economics knows that there is always a lag between growth and job creation. this is an empirical fact. the previous administration took 8 years to send our economy into oblivion. If obama has 8 years, given his record so far, we will undoubtedly see growth and job creation

I thought the stimulus and all the junk related to it was suppose to create a basket full of jobs? What happened there Barry…..duh?

I think that the stimulus caused the unemployment rate to reach nearly 10%. I firmly believe that if we had not expanded government debt to the extent that has happened under the Obama administration we would have seen real growth and decline in unemployment by September.I don’t believe that anybody in the White House has a clue as to how to manage the economy; none of their predictions have come true.Now they are lying about the cost of the Health Care bill-obviously it will never be as low as they claim,no government program ever is.I am beginning to sense that we are on the cusp of a Weimar Republic-type explosion of inflation and that the geniuses in the White House don’t even know what that means.

Keep flappin’ those lips, Obama…. it’s all you know how to do.
365 days to Democrat Judgement Day… Can we as a country survive that long???

The right wing dodo birds seem ignorant of the fact there was a world-wide economic collapse on the last President’s watch – and this extreme economic situation continues. They attempt to present it as some EVIL Democratic concoction.
Try to get your noses out of your dog bowls and take a look around the world. Some nations (like the United States and others) have seen some small signs of recovery – but nobody is out of the soup yet.
Put away your grandiose nonsense and flatulent expectations – this is going to take time.
And quit demonizing the Democrats – your malicious fear and smear campaigns are ugly and they insult and degrade America.
You remind me of fascists doing a smear campaign on decent people.

“He will be remembered in history books for being our first black president and the president who bankrupted a nation.. ”

Nonsense, the worst will happen is he will be remembered as the one who took over after the economy crashed and burned on George Bush’s watch and after Bush had doubled the national debt to $10 TRILLION dollars, and embroiled the country in 2 wars . ..
What we, and the entire world, needs to make sure is that the world-wide economic crash actually recovers enough to support us all – and that is not a done deal, not at all.

Automation, and the internet, while making life a whole lot easier is one of our biggest problems today as far as unemplyment goes. From online shopping, to automated checkouts in the grocery stores, to the factories, to the easy outsourcing of jobs to people in other countries, who work for pennies, to the kids who won’t get off the couch. I don’t have an answer, and use my computer as avaluable tool myself, but as long as we keep advancing? The job outlook isn’t going to get better. Whether here or at some point in the other countries who are moving forward?

What to start job growth in the US….start supporting the companies here doing business, still making things for us.

“we aren’t where we need to be yet”….Ya got that right, “we” need to be thrown out of office.
