The Presidential Planner: Obama Takes His Jobs Pitch to Ohio

Just another Obama militant attempt to force this bill down people throats, so he can continue paying off his partners in corruption…

OBAMA____VS_____AMERICA

“This money would fund a range of critical repairs and needed renovation projects that would put hundreds of thousands of Americans — construction workers, engineers, maintenance staff, boiler repair and electrical workers — back to work,” according to the White House.

The above White House statement is a clear indication of just how dysfunctional the federal government has become.
When you have to borrow money you don’t have to spend it on maintenance that should be an ongoing concern and already paid for, you are in deep deep trouble.

Just remember, “Congress” embraces the current democrat controlled Senate as well.

Did the democrats and Pres Barry search for common ground when ramming through stimulus I and national socialized health care insurance (Obamacare)?

Again, Americans generally prefer Obama’s proposals for reviving the economy to the ideas put out there by the hugely unpopular congressional Republicans and the GOP’s current presidential field. See the United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll.

Let’s just get real. The economy is in dire shape and Obama’s proposal of all those out there is the one that has the best chance of creating jobs in the immediate future. It’s also the one Americans prefer. The standard GOP plans are much like Romney’s and the GOP has tried to pass them before, or has said they’re trying to pass them but doesn’t or when they pass some of them it’s been to poor effect.

One proposal– instantly capping government spending at 20 percent of GDP—would actually cause hurt to the immediate short-term employment picture.

Perry doesn’t really have a plan beyond tort reform and low taxes and the Texas Miracle, but as Romney has wisely pointed out, Perry was dealt aces and had little to do with the Texas Miracle which isn’t directly transferrable to the country as a whole. Basically, Texas has taken jobs from other states, not created much in the way of new jobs that pay at least a living wage.

Obama’s plan is reasonable: reasonably targeted and focused, reasonably designed, reasonably evidence-based versus ideologically-based and unproven, reasonably specific and reasonably front-loaded. Do I wish the first stimulus has been more targeted and focused? Yes, but I don’t see much of merit in the GOP plans and I don’t think scorched earth, uncertainty, partisanship and cynicism is doing all that much for us.

This bill does nothing to address jobs leaving the country see G.E..
Does not go after unfair trade practices, foreign countries do not all place
environmental regulations and minimum wage clauses for workers.
This bill is just another BAILOUT for unions who through their dues process will
funnel money back to Obama campaign coffers. When the money to this bill runs
out, the bleeding will continue and for the second strait year social security is underfunded By the Obama Administration.

AT USA Today:
Census bureau: U.S. poverty rises to 15.1%, highest since 1983

Why are we worse off than during the horrid years of Ronald?

“One proposal– instantly capping government spending at 20 percent of GDP—would actually cause hurt to the immediate short-term employment picture.”

You’re unemployed and you seem to be doing just fine.

I once again point out that if a employer gives a permanent raise for a one time tax
credit, shake the man’s hand, wish him well because he will be out of business
soon.

The sooner they pass the bill, the sooner he will have to stop all his flying around the country on the pretense of selling this bill. Cutting credits to oil companies will make our gas prices go up, because they will just pass the cost along to the consumer. Cutting the credits for charitable donations will make the wealthy cut out some of the donations, which in the long run will hurt the people who need it the most. Doesn’t that go against the point of the bill? Raxing the jet set corporations is hypocritical as all get out. Remember how he dressed down the auto industry for flying in on their jets when they asked for bailouts? Isn’t that what he is doing? He is flying around the country asking for a bailout. Using our corporate jet. Of course his is really campaigning on our dime so pass the bill and let’s see if he has to change his travel plans.

“Doesn’t that go against the point of the bill?” -Rafe

Was it the point of the Troubled Asset Relief Program to give relief for those with troubled assets, or was it to facililtate the takeover of GM by their own workers’ union at the expense of the bond holders?

Was it the point of the ‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ‘ to protect patients and make healthcare affordable, or for the entire healthcare industry to become just another branch of the government?

JUNIOR VARSITY: “But their last-minute campaign to scale back the bill’s benefits for taxpayers at the highest income levels failed . . . Democrats should get used to being angered.”

It’s great watching Democrats get angry about their inability to spend other people’s money to the detriment of the economy. They are shameless!

If you get government out of the way, we’ll have even more.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As usual there is not one shred of evidence to back up this claim.

Poverty rate soars, Congressional Budget Office says unemployment will stay right around 9% through 2012, More Violence in Afghanistan as American embassy under fire, 77 Military personal wounded over weekend in truck bomb attack. A president
that offers temporary tax credits asking employers to give permanent raises. Asking congress to pass a bill that robs money to fund Social security. Seniors you know what that means for you another year no COLA. I guess his redistribution of wealth plan is working perfectly. Cannot wait for Obamacare to finish us off!

We’re working on it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Which is alot more than can be said of the Republicans.

Awesome. I’ll take that $535 million. Cash please and hurry like you guys did last time. It is sunny today! And tell Rep. Waxman I said hi!

SKIP: “I think it’s obvious who’s being childish.”

Yes, you banging on about no evidence, as you ignore the evidence I present, sure is.

“I think it’s obvious who’s being childish.”

I couldn’t agree more. If only the loan had been for say $750 million. Then we never would have had a problem…

The Europeans have embraced cutting spending and austerity, and they’re approaching another economic crisis.”

And the disaster continues:

“German unemployment fell in August for a 26th straight month as hiring in Europe’s biggest economy held up in the face of a global market rout and the euro-area’s debt crisis.

The number of people out of work fell a seasonally adjusted 8,000 to 2.95 million, the Nuremberg-based Federal Labor Agency said today. Economists forecast a drop of 10,000, according to the median of 31 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. The jobless rate held at 7 percent, the lowest since records for a reunified Germany began in 1991.”

PS, I’d sell your Euros…

And the disaster continues:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Germany’s growth last quarter was down below 1%, which is making investors very nervous, and for good reason.

as you ignore the evidence I present

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have yet to see any evidence.

Meanwhile Republicans are getting nervous that they won’t get away with dawdling around doing absolutely nothing till 2012.

“Meanwhile Republicans are getting nervous that they won’t get away with dawdling around doing absolutely nothing till 2012.”

From the NYT:

Democrats are expressing growing alarm about President Obama’s re-election prospects and, in interviews, are openly acknowledging anxiety about the White House’s ability to strengthen the president’s standing over the next 14 months.

“Government provides valuable services which can’t be provided efficiently by the private sector”

Like schools.

I’ll let you in on a little secret; Government doesn’t produce a thing worth buying.

Huh? Please try to make sense not just post catch phrases.

Schools
Obama sends his kids to private school, shouldn’t we all?

Roadways:
Construction is contracted out to private companies.

Bridges:
Construction is contracted out to private companies.

Airports:
Construction is contracted out to private companies.

Educated adults:
Detroit is a city that Democrats have run for as long as anyone can remember, and half of adults there are illiterate -products of the public education system. The President of the Detroit school board had to file a lawsuit against his alma mater to get his degree because he kept failing the mandatory written exam.

Microchips:
The government makes microchips? Where can I buy my U.S. department of whatever microchip?

The internet:
Who’s YOUR internet provider? Mine’s a private company.

Dams:
Notice I said ‘nothing worth buying’? If someone offers to sell you a dam, well, don’t buy it.

The power grid:
My electricity is provided by a private company.

and on and on . . .
Keep trying.

“A new report shows that the U.S. is central to the global solar supply chain. In 2010, U.S. solar firms achieved a positive trade flow of $1.9 billion globally according to SEIA and GTM Research’s U.S. Solar Energy Trade Assessment 2011. Photovoltaic (PV) components accounted for more than 99 percent of the year’s exports, with solar heating and cooling (SHC) claiming the remainder of the positive balance.”

Guess who sponsors GTM? A company that is involved with Evergreen Solar.

Evergreen Solar Inc. (ESLR), a maker of electricity generating solar panels, filed bankruptcy with plans to sell itself at an auction in order to pay creditors owed $485.6 million.

Investors who hold more than 70 percent of the company’s convertible senior secured notes have agreed to act as the so- called stalking-horse, or initial bidder, in a proposed auction for Evergreen’s assets, including new technology to make solar wafers at lower cost, Evergreen Chief Executive Officer Michael El-Hillow said in court papers today.

Weird stuff…

Why wouldn’t Obama buy public school for his children?

Security reasons.

Q: Why did Michelle Obama shut down a whole beach in Spain so she could work on her tan?
A: Security reasons.

Q: Why did Michelle and Barack take separate airliners to Martha’s Vineyard?
A: Security reasons.

Q: Why does Obama need a 40 SUV convoy to get from one end of Martha’s Vineyard to the other?
A: Security reasons.

Q: Where is the President’s illegal-immigrant uncle, Onyango Obama?
A: That’s classified. Security reasons.

The Secret Service is fully capable of providing more than adequate protection for the First Daughters. Lethal protection, in fact. They carry guns, remember?

You’re being a bit foolish to think it’s just a matter of a few people carrying guns. Security of place is just as crucial. Sidwell was chosen for those very reasons.

“The quality of the school and its extra security make Sidwell Friends a good choice”, said Letitia Baldrige, who was Jackie Kennedy’s social secretary and chief of staff during the Kennedy administration.

Sidwell already has previous experience protecting the children of a President. Chelsea Clinton attended the same school.

You may think it’s a joke or an easy task protecting the President and his family, but it isn’t.
