Obama Campaign Sends Out Boehner’s Phone Number to Spur Calls
EmailPresident Obama publicly castigated House Speaker John Boehner today at a rally in Ohio, singling him out by name four times for his opposition to passage of his $447 billion jobs bill.
“I can’t imagine that the speaker wants to represent a state where nearly one in four bridges are classified as substandard,” Obama said against the backdrop of Cincinnati’s Brent Spence Bridge. “There’s no reason to stand in the way of more jobs.”
In an email blast after the speech, Obama for America campaign manager Jim Messina urged supporters to call Boehner directly to let him know “what Americans like you think.”
The email also provided the speaker’s main office number. “Call Speaker Boehner’s office now,” Messina wrote. “Tell him not to let politics get in the way of creating jobs.”
But Boehner and Republicans aren’t the only hurdle to swift consideration of the jobs bill.
Many Democrats have also publicly voiced reluctance to “pass it right away,” as Obama has demanded. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada says he might not consider bringing the jobs bill up for a vote until at least next month.
The Senate is “pretty well jammed” with other matters right now, Reid said this week.

February 2009:
MATT LAUER: At some point will you say, “Wait a minute, we’ve spent this amount of money. We’re not seeing the results. We’ve got to change course dramatically?”
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Look, I’m at the start of my administration. One nice thing about — the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. You know, I’ve got four years. And —
MATT LAUER: You’re gonna know quickly how people feel —
PRESIDENT OBAMA: — and — and —
MATT LAUER: — about what —
PRESIDENT OBAMA: that’s exactly right. And — and, you know, a year from now I think people — are gonna see that — we’re starting to make some progress. But there’s still gonna be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s gonna be a one-term proposition.

So where did all the stimulus money go to the first time. You know all those shovel
ready jobs. Oh that’s right to a bunch of his Campaign cash buddies that ended up in bankrupt companies. I find it funny how the bridge he is pointing out will not be ready for construction until 2015 when he will not be found in Washington D.C.

Politifact rates the claim that the stimulus created zero jobs as “Pants on Fire -False”
and included in their analysis this statement:
“Separately, the council’s report cited four independent analyses by the Congressional Budget Office and three private economic analysis companies. Here’s what the groups found:
CBO: Between 1.3 million and 3.6 million jobs saved or created.
IHS/Global Insight: 2.45 million jobs saved or created.
Macroeconomic Advisers: 2.3 million jobs saved or created.
Moody’s Economy.com: 2.5 million jobs saved or created.”

Any bets as to how long the NoBo Presidential begging to pass his Stimulus Lite Bill will go on?
Done by what dau in October, November or December?
Is it possible he takes his Pony Show into 2012?
I’m guessing he stops on November 9th so that we could have a chance at a Peaceful Thanksgiving and Christmas.

You think those are ‘scandals’? Bush wasn’t impeached for $2 BILLION being ‘misplaced’ in Rumsfeld’s Pentagon.
Bush wasn’t impeached for ‘losing’ $9 BILLION in Iraq – seriously, they ‘lost’ $9 BILLION. Never mind all the weapons and ordinance ‘lost’ on his watch.
He wasn’t impeached for having crimes committed in the White House (Scooter Libby).
Bush wasn’t impeached for screwing up on the ‘weapons of mass destruction’ nor for failing to take bin Laden in Afghanistan.
You really ought to get some perspective on scandal – take a look at the Reagan administration and the number of people in his administration caught running an illegal shadow government carrying out illegal activities – all hidden from the American people.

“Bush wasn’t impeached for screwing up on the ‘weapons of mass destruction’” – Dennis
What’s worse is that the bar has been set so low, perhaps due to Bushie.
Bush got Congressional approval for his Wars.
Obama doesn’t even ask.
Bush thought there were WMDs in Iraq.
Obama doesn’t even pretend there’s any in Libya.
Bush got raked over the coals for going after a bad dictator.
Obama uses that as his excuse for military action in Libya.
Bush brings Democracy to Iraq and is chastised.
Obama brings who knows what to the Arab World and is praised.
The bar is so low now that I think NoBo can keep screwing up with impunity.
No Impeachment for Bama.

Prediction….Obama bows out,says he must focus on economy. Hilary is nominee. Quid pro quo from the start. Hilary agrees to pardon Obama. Pardon is needed for not only Solyndra,Fast and Furious,& Light Squared, but for fraud and conspiracy as well.

Hey Obama, politics is not in the way of jobs, money is you fool! We are out of money and infrastructure jobs are not going to get us out of this mess. CNN had 7 small businesses yesterday telling their stories of how the government is in their way. Something worth reading. Remove some of the barriers for small businesses and we might see them actually start picking up.

Dennis | September 22, 2011, 9:30 pm 9:30 pm —Do you not find it an odd coincidence that the relatively unknown private estimates were almost exactly in the middle of the CBO report? Also, the CBO has been very generous to Obama, including not catching the double counted $500 BILLION in Obamacare. That guarantees Obama’s lie about Obamacare being “deficit beutral”. I trust the CBO as much as Obama at this point.

I guess paying taxpayer money to out of work construction workers for infrastructure repair is technically “creating jobs”. Sounds like the classical definition of a depression to me. Roosevelt did the same thing.

How old is this guy?? Is he going to start calling Boehner names in subsequent emails. Sheesh. It’s amateur hour at the White House and with his campaign. No one believes his jobs bill will do anything the President claims it will do. the guy is a joke.

To dread, where did all that money go? To the states. It was up to the states to fund the projects to create jobs, but most did not. In Virginia, our Governor used all of that money, and I do mean all, to balance the budget so he could say that he did in fact pass a balanced budget in the middle of a recession as a propaganda tool to use for his future run to the US Senate. People screaming about this stimulus, start by asking your state governors what they did with all that money. I bet you will be surprised at what you find.

““Separately, the council’s report cited four independent analyses by the Congressional Budget Office and three private economic analysis companies. Here’s what the groups found:”
I do believe they all used the ridiculous notion that a $1 spent by the government yields something like $1.50 in private expenditures. Wrong, wrong and wrong.
and I don’t care what Politifiact states, the notion of counting “jobs saved” is foolish and is too easily manipulated. Basically it’s a statistic that cannot be proven, therefore it’s useless.

Forget the phone numbers, the DNC should adequaley fund democratic candidates to run against Boehner and McConnel, this will really give Boehner sonmthing to cry about. It’s funny how all of a sudden repubilicans are talking about bi-partisanship when they’ve done nothing but ostsruct and delay for the last three years. Was McConnells statement that his main goal was to make sure this prisident was not re-elected bi-partisan.
