Obama’s New Jobs Slogan: ‘We Can’t Wait’
EmailPresident Obama is coining a new campaign slogan for a three-day western campaign fundraising tour, along with executive action that would not need Congressional approval on some mortgage and student loan relief.
“We Can’t Wait” is the battle cry he takes first to Las Vegas, where the president intends to stand on the front porch of a home and announce that his administration will ease the rules for homeowners who want to renegotiate their federally backed mortgages. In Las Vegas, one in every 39 homes is in foreclosure, the worst rate in the nation.
The president’s action would “knock down these barriers which will help responsible borrowers with little or no equity in their homes take advantage of today’s low mortgage rates,” according to an administration official. “Those will include removing caps for deeply underwater borrowers and cutting costs of refinancing” for families with federally-backed mortgages.
In Colorado on Wednesday, President Obama will announce easier rules on repayment of college loans.
On a bus tour last week, President Obama began the drumbeat of criticism for Congressional inaction, telling crowds, “The election is 13 months away. And folks can’t afford to wait that long” for action on job creation.
But Republicans are quick to point out the president’s expensive stimulus plan has failed to work, and in an email of news clippings critical of his record, the Republican National Committee dubs this week’s trip the “West Coast Misery Tour.”
A harsh web video comes from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is gearing up for a big Senate race in Nevada next year. The video portrays Nevada as a disaster zone and President Obama as descending in to a post-apocalyptic seeming world to survey the scene. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/embed/5CSXGlkq_SQ

When did hope and change become a bad thing? Why does the Right always use such a derisive and dismissive tone when talking about hope and change? Aren’t the Republicans ‘hoping’ for ‘change’ in the next election?

The Quote of the Decade:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ‘s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, “the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
(it was so nice of him to give us this great quote for posterity!)
Posted by: Sharon | October 24, 2011, 1:17 pm 1:17 pm
Well we can wait…it would just be a very very bad idea. Despite all the insistent alleged concerns about debt voiced by Republicans, if we don’t get the economy growing again and soon, and that means getting Americans back to work, debt to GDP is going to start to explode even faster than it’s increasing now, and the further we get behind the harder it will be to catch back up.

Maybe Obama is testing the waters to see how far he can go with his unconstitutional fiat ruling by Executive orders! Maybe it is a glimpse of his ambition to obliterate the Constitution and beome the first Dictator of America – the OWS movement is part of his communist strategy!

Need to Run the Republicans out of office. They are hell bent on bring down the President at the cost of the country. They are druck for power. They are most of the reason we are in this mess. Who ever thinks that Mr. Obama could do this alone and in 4 years is crazy. If you get a Republican in they will do what G. Bush did and we can afford that again. Congress shouldnt get paid until something is passed. They Also need to have the same retirement that we have and then it might get fixed.

Now our leader is going to straighten out the mortgage debacle and the soaring student loan repayments outstanding. Isn’t that kind of him. Please, please tell me…where the hell has he been since his second term began…….and, please check the constitution….I don’t believe he can exercise “executive” authority to “go around” Congress on these matters. I hope in hell he doesn’t put underwater mortgages into Fannie or Freddie….have you seen the latest figures they are in the tank for….?The first member of the P and P Gang I heard on tv as to what he wanted done was for “the government to pay his college tuition.” Great education job on that kid!(P&P?..pee and poop). Mr. Obama needs help…….he cerainly can’t perform his job duties,can he?

Most of you guys problems stem from the fact that you can’t stand for a black man to be President. Yes, I said it, somebody had to. The GOP candidates are a joke and most of you right wing nuts know that not one of them can beat him. Obama will win in a landslide against these characters. LOL!!

Not one commander agrees with Obama’s cut and run strategy in Iraq. The same goes for his handling of the economy and jobs, he refuses to follow the advice of his own economic advisers so the last 3 or 4 have quit in disgust! Its not the GOP who hinder Obama’s lack of success, its his own inexperience and left wing ideology that won’t allow him to do what is right for all Americans! He only cares to please his left wing liberal base who believe that class warfare is the only solution to fix the economy!

Since Obama took office he has added $4.2 Trillion to the debt alone! Stimulus 1 alone was $860 Billion, about the same as the Iraq war. Where did the money go? Who got all the money? All this spending in less than 3 years! We got NOTHING for all that spending! Oh WAIT! We got $4.2 Trillion added to the debt!!!

At least the Obama admin is coming with ideas to try to help everyone in the U.S. Can’t wait to get rid of those newly elected members in Congress who were just elected this past Nov. Those folks in Congress try to stop Obama’s ideas, but they dont even try to share their own ideas to help the economy in the U.S.
What a waste of time electing those members of Congress…

President Obama, while you waited on the subject of jobs and the economy, you passed Obamacare while lying about it being deficit neutral, wasted money on wind mills in China, oversaw Fast and Furious, lost billions bailing out GM and Chrysler, opened up a 3rd war in Libya, didn’t finish any war after having YOUR OWN 16 month plan to get out of Iraq, kept our unemployment over 9%, slowed the economy again, spent over $4T and complained about the GOP obstructing. You had the majority for 2 years and squandered it and the American people let you know what they thought last November. Hey, but at least Bin Laden, Ghaddafi and 3 pirates died under your watch! You’re absolutely right when you say “we can’t wait”, because we have waited for your action long enough.

President Obama, thank you for trying to help the economy and the American people despite the constant filibustering and blocking of good legislation and many of your appointees by the Republicans in Congress.
I am so glad that the Affordable Care Act passed, as more Americans have access to insurance and those who with pre-existing condition are no longer shut out. And in 2014 when the full provisions are in affect, I am looking forward to lower or at least stabilized premiums.
And thank you for getting our troops out of Iraq. And thank you for supporting the Libyan people through NATO as they fought for their freedom. Thank you for saving our American auto industry, as I don’t think we could have lost that many direct and peripheral jobs and ever recovered. Thank you for pushing for banking regulations that will prevent another banking crisis that sent our economy into a terrible near Depression. Thank you for the Reinvestment Act which has improved terrible infrastructure across the country as well as provided jobs for folks. Thank you for signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act!
And thank you for the way you handle yourself, as a President who tries to find common ground in Congress but will do solo what he can to help the American people.

You people do realize being liberal doesn’t make you intelligent, it’s just makes you liberal – nothing more.
You say over and over again the R’s blocked his agenda, WHEN? They couldn’t block it the first two years when he had the WH, House and Senate – he COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT JOBS… instead he chose to expand the gov’t and bailout every union.
You hypocrites need to make up your minds, either you have a problem with all corruption and lies in gov’t, including those of this inept administration or you dont.
