Obama Jobs Address Moved to Next Thursday After Flap With Boehner

NFL opening night.

Been in office for 2 + years.. Now it is “URGENT”…. I still want to tell myself that voting for Obama was still better than McCain… but, I sure wish the Repubs had of had someone else running, and I sure hope they do next year. This is sooooo sad.

No Plan
No Clue
NOBAMA!

President Milquetoast bends over backwards for tyrants again.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE SICK!!! …. And it is eating them from the inside out…. giggles

I was a supporter of President Obama when he was elected President three years ago. Unfortunately, my level of respect for him as the President of the United States and a leader has declined greatly in the last couple months. Between the debt ceiling debacle and President Obama changing the date of his job bill, the Republicans have won another battle. When will President Obama stand up and act the president instead of the young school child afraid of the playground bully. I hate to say this; however, I believe the Democrats need to nominate a new candidate to run for the president in 2012. He is losing his base all because he is acting like a new congressman instead of the President. Stand up Mr. President. I wonder, who is leading this country? President Obama or John Boehner? It is not the President in my mind. Comments are encouraged and invited.

Democrats, please understand: The President cannot call a joint session. He has to be invited. Obama was asking Congress to hold a joint session and invite him. A joint session requires both Houses of Congress to pass a resolution to have one. So Obama did not get rejected, it is just not the President’s ability to call a joint session to begin with.

Finally, remember: There is no act more American than Congress telling the President, No!

If Obama was half as intelligent as his fans claimed he was, he wouldn’t need to wait this long to announce his grand plan for jobs. This man wouldn’t know how to create a job if his life depended on it. All his life he has been distrustful of those who know business. And whether you like it or not, business people are the only ones who really create meaningful jobs. I know that sticks in the craw of you libs, but is an inconvenient truth, no? Speaking of that, we can all see now that Gore’s environmental scare tactics were all junk science and greed. Green jobs. What a laugh.

At least Obama is keeping some travel agents busy with all of his vacations. What a shame that he is costing taxpayers so much money.

I am no fan of Perry, but he will be a 10 fold improvement over this trainwreck of a president.

This is why the country got downgraded. Fighting over when the president will address Congress!!? In this kind of atmosphere, it’s clear any proposals he makes are DOA. The GOP are greedy bullies and Obama is an inexperienced, spineless professor who’s let the bullies shut the class down.

He will lose a huge part of the nation with Green Bay playing New Orleans, part planning on his part. 20 million or more will watch football. Even if they wanted to hear, its football season, nothing is more important then football when you are stressed about jobs. Its the American way.

home boy: that is the problem, you’re saying the black man, you still see color and want to see color, until you change then nothing will change, small steps

Which idiot put football ahead of running the government? No wonder we’re in the shape we’re in.

In animal behavior, when you’re sussing out the dominance hierarchy (“Peck order”) in a group, you watch to see who gives way to who in a conflict. Obama gave way; Boehner ranks higher in the dominance hierarchy. (Just for gins: imagine someone like LBJ giving way and postponing an important speech because the Republicans had a debate scheduled the same day.) Memo to Mr. Obama: sometimes leadership means you have to bare your fangs and raise your hackles and show you’re the boss. The country is dying for a show of leadership right now: stop deferring to the opposition in the name of concensus building, and start whupping a few hineys to get everyone in line!

“The spat over timing for the speech, which is intended to lay out a long-awaited jobs plan from the White House, underscored the partisan bickering that has beset Washington.” Why is rescheduling a meeting time considered a “spat”? If that’s the case, businesses have spats all the time.

You have to love how all these Republicans used to be supporters of President Obama. Do they really think Obama supporters are dumb enough to believe them and believe wingnut Republicans are preferable? The lesson to be learned here is that if you don’t get out and vote Democrat, YOU are responsible for us having a Congress like this.

“Don’t point your finger only across the aisle at the other party; they both do the same crap.” Yeah right. Because Republicans already claimed that the Tea Party was the remedy for this and they only made it worse. Who the hell do you think you are fooling? We are left with voting for the lesser of two evils, and that is NEVER Republican.

“Can you say “weak President”?” Can you say disastrous previous administration? What other President in modern history has had so much cr*p to clean up?

President Obama – the only adult in the room.

Weak president.

It is over for Obama, Harry Reid helped destroy the reamainder of his term by being such a hack and killing those three bills from reaching the Senate. The downgrade in our rating is all because of Reid and his petty sour grapes.

What we’ve learned about Obama is he knows nothing of the economy much less how to create real jobs.

Barack Hussein Obama is a lame duck. His approval ratings are dropping daily. His effectiveness as the leader of the free world has been compromised and he knows it. If he had any self-respect and honor he would do what the honorable Sarah Palin did in AK. Resign. President Hussein has put the U.S. in the worst situation it has ever been. He is an easy target for any extortionist, because of his current and felonist past. Please sir, resign.

I plan to not only folow the GOP debate, but skip the speech of the Inexperienced One in favor of some good football. Proposing more “stimulus” funding, which has proven ineffective is not an efficient redistribution of my wealth, or rather, lack of it. All the millions given to green solar panels have resulted in belly-up of the major recipient of yet more of my wealth. The President hasn’t a clue of what capitalism is, let alone what creates jobs. Time watching a repetitive, rerun, hashing of unworkable sillyness is time wasted. Football is much more fun and real. And then, there is that hope and change thing with the GOP this time around.

good morning haters! how are you all today? still on here arguing, i see. have a super day of frustration and anger trying to get your point across. i’m only working until noon today, and then i’m taking off for the weekend. i hope your ulcers don’t get any worse. or wait – maybe i do!

Goodwill gesture? Are you nuts? This was a deliberate attempt to force the hand of the Republicans and a logistical problem for the House. So being called out on it and having to change the date is certainly no goodwill gesture.

Exactly. And one point the media and talking heads seem to be missing is the fact that this so-called “jobs agenda” SHOULD have and COULD have been done at any time waaaaaay before now. So why is it coming out now? 1) It’s a simple rehash of what’s already been said. 2) Re-election, re-election, re-election. 3) To try to take the thunder away from the Republican debate. Obama does not want the American public to hear what the next president might be proposing on the jobs front, so he had to do something to draw attention from the debate.
His ‘speech’ will be nothing more than a bad television repeat. I’m watching football. They have replays as well…but they’re much more exciting.

I think it is great do it Thursday night and then the Republicans have already made their stupid comments during the Debate (yea right). They do not know what a debate is or how to answer a question, when the moderator ask the question for God’s sake answer it!!!!

If Obama is as smart as you say, then why would he even pick a date when a debate was planned. Either he is dumb or he is arrogant. You choose. And Obama said he consulted, did he just send an email and not get a reply or did Boehner actually say yes and then change his mind. I do not see the WH saying that Boehner said yes just that they consulted.

Yea,yea, yea. Just so the NFL game is televised, who cares. Speech 3,271 on job creation will be like all the rest.

Political gamesmanship. “Ha-ha! What a great idea.” the President said. “We’ll put them on the spot and show them not to mess with the POTUS.” “Let’s just tell him NO” said Reince. “There is no urgency in his announcement. He could wait 2 more years for all the difference it will make!” They called the bluff and made it clear that the POTUS is not bigger than the Congress (or the Supreme Court for that matter). Whatever happened to “separate, but equal”? Republican debate planned for weeks or (yawn) just another Obama collection of bloviations. Then on Thursday, NFL opening game or (yawn) just another collection of Obama bloviations. Read the BS the next day – it’ll make no difference (yawn).

“There is no way to spin this as anything but the inept actions of an inept President “aided” by a clueless staff.” – Nephron

B I N G O !
Super Uber-Intelligent NoBo and crew should have just asked Bohner to schedule a joint session at the earliest date possible. That way it would have been on John B’s head. The White House couldn’t lose. If Bohner took his time he’d be accused of holding up action on Jobs.

Stupid is as stupid does.

phantomniter | September 1, 2011, 9:58 am 9:58 am —- The government needs to shift some of those 45.7% government jobs to the private sector. Are you trying to say you are in favor of a larger government? Government jobs do not help when it comes to tax revenues.

Some of these comments are absolutely insane, I swear I don’t know what you people are watching or paying attention to. This President is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t, all the Repubs says is we will focus on jobs jobs jobs yet how many jobs bill has the house passed? How many legitimate ideas have they had that actually work on both sides of the aisle? Besides a balanced budget amendment (which had no chance of passing cause it’s insane) they have done nothing. So the POTUS will give his speech, lay out his ideas on job creation and the House will promptly deny each and every idea because we all know they are focused on one thing and one thing only, making sure President Obama loses in 2012. Forget the good of the country, it’s all about the good of the GOP. At least extend the payroll tax cut, since that affects every single tax paying American, oh what’s that “all tax cuts are not created equal” the GOP says….I guess tax cuts for the rich will work best huh? Since the Bush Tax cuts were enacted we have had the lowest amount of job growth since WWII but hey at least some people made out like bandits. The rich get richer and the middle classes slowly fades away.

Forget the good of the country, it’s all about the good of the GOP. Right on, Eric. You hit the nail on the head. The GOP doesn’t give a flip about anyone or anything but promoting the GOP. I have not heard anything from any of the prospective candidates about how they’re going to create jobs out of thin air. Their solution to all our problems is to suspend taxes for the rich and corporations. Funny how that has never worked for anyone but them.

So, everything is Obama’s fault. That’s what I thought. Yeah, right. Thank God for those practical, fiscally responsible Republicans. It’s a shame the American public didn’t have the good sense to vote a Republican in during the last election. My Lord, we’d be sitting in tall cotton, wouldn’t we. I mean, after all, look at the lovely situation Big Bad Bush left us in. Wow! Those Repubs really know how to run a country … into the ground.

Carol,even if your hypothesis that everything wrong in this country is due to George Bush is correct,what is the purpose of having Barack Obama in the White House?Obviously he is not up to managing the problems he inherited.Wouldn’t it be better if we had department store dummy for President?Ssince his actions have had no effect and he can’t be expected to deal with problems wouldn’t it be better if we didn’t have to pay for food, heat, travel,etc.?Because that is the premise you expect us to buy.

–So, everything is Obama’s fault. That’s what I thought. Yeah, right. Thank God for those practical, fiscally responsible Republicans.

So true Carol. Without experts like Obama and Geithner, China would have no green jobs. And without Immelt, GE would still pay no taxes either. But luckily Obama’s expertise and decisons have kept the unemployment rate under 8%. Success! Also, you should respect the words of Debbie Wasserman. She is correct.

This whole thing is game played by Obama. He knew the date would cause conflict. They announced it before checking with Congress. Now they will play the whole…..”this is what the American people are sick of”……”partisan politics”….. card and act as though they are all above it. When in fact he orchestrated it. Sorry thing is there are a lot of stupid people out there who buy right in to it. He can not win re-election on his merits so he will try to do everything and anything to make Republicans look like the children in the room.

Just another example of Obama being focued on his interests and being completely ignorant of the rules and policies of the House.

“Republicans will somehow take this as a goodwill gesture and actually do things like HELP or COMPROMISE when it comes to future bills.”

The problem really is the Republicans have compromised far too much. We need conservative, competent representatives who have the sense not to spend a dollar and a half for every dollar taken in. And NO, the solution is NOT to just raise taxes and continue to spend the $1.50 for every dollar taken in. We need conservative Republicans with principles, ethics, and a moral base. That does not include a socialist, ringless, watchless Muslim community organizer. We need more HOPE and CHANGE than that.

People just need to realize that the debate was planned well in advance of the President announcing that he would apeak about jobs after labor day…Something that the president’s staff should have known…it was just a political ploy and he lost…he wouldn’t be very good at chicken

“In what way has the GOP compromised way too much? I love this idea of cutting our way out of a depression. Since when is cutting everything in huddling into a corner a good strategy for stimulating the economy? I guess I am wasting my time trying to talk sense into someone who calls our President a watchless Muslin community organizer.”

The GOP went along with Obamacare, the compulsory component of which has been deemed unconstitutional States, groups and individuals have opted OUT of this Health Care scheme. The GOP continued to go along with pork barrel politics and riders on various bills, Both political parties have their goal in life to be re-elected and do little to represent those whom they were elected to represent. Comments about our President, well, the truth hurts sometimes. Appointing czars, justice refusing to investigate specific groups, sharing nuclear processes with other countries, avoiding Congress whenever possible. I suspect the GOP can fix some of the problems that have come up, but the incredible foolishness of people who voted for false hope and change will be much harder to change, and take a LOT longer. I would not put much money down on the constitutionality of Obamacare on compulsory participation to go to the Supremes before the election. That is NOT the way the current administration works, or doesn’t work, depending on your viewpoint. Character assassination is more the province of those treatments received by Palin and Robert Bork, to name just a few. The Fairness Doctrine will no longer protect people from learning more about what their government and its elected representatives are doing. Even now, the political playing field is not level, but then there is always hope for change in a constructive manner.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971…before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land … all because of public pressure.

If you really love your country then I’m asking each of you to share this message to every person that you know.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/2012 . The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!

If you agree with the above, pass it on.
