Obama’s Weekly Address: ‘We Can’t Wait’ for Republicans on Jobs

Demacrats will take it all in 2012 All the tea has been squeezed out of the tea baggers and a new super congress will be born.

Had we not already seen the results of Mr Obama’s method we might be inclined to get on his “can’t wait” band wagon.
Those who have been paying attention now have to wonder which of the well connected will make a half billion on this one and what country will benefit from new jobs at the expense of the unemployed American taxpayer.
Sorry Mr President, your party is no longer in control. “Pass it now, read it later” won’t work anymore. We need to know what you’re shoving down our throats before you sign it into law.

What a disgraceful man. Not even a man, really. A narcissistic punk. All Obama can do is repeat lies and try to blame everyone else. His own party of Democrats who control the Senate wouldn’t touch his Jobs bill. The American people have been paying attention, that is why you are one-and-done Obama!

We can’t wait to get rid of this him.

Why not, it waited for 3 yrs, it waited until he got back from vacation…now all of sudden he’s in election mode and it can’t wait…and worse…people are stupid enough to believe the crap that flows from his mouth every time he opens it

The best thing Americans can do to create American jobs is to stop buying foreign made products.

If you keep rewarding companies for taking jobs overseas, they will continue to do it.

It really is that simple.

@Joe White .. I really don’t think that will matter… Do you think that when they make it overseas that America is the ONLY market they sell it in?

Big Wall Street Money is financing obama’s campaign now and did in 2008. He give Barney Frank and Chris Dodd a pass for the mortgage disaster as he demonizes his bank buddies and raises even more MONEY. When vacationing this summer he stayed at the Comcast CEO’s summer house – he’s a liar. A moron knows that no amount of taxes on THE RICH can pay for his $5 trillion in new spending – is he a moron, a liar or both? The “infrastructure jobs” he refers to don’t exist – highway construction is highly automated, fast and takes relatively few people. Obama and his stooges think this is 1920 when 3000 men with picks and steam shovels built highways!! LOL This is the worst president in a century paying hate politics and class warfare with the future of America because he thinks he can get re-elected on a wave of hatred if he tells the right lies and the press continues his free pass. FAILURE!!

Hurry up and wait.

We or Obama may like the bickering in getting things done or not done. His side is as guilty as anyone else in one upmanship and childish spats but it is our system and if he doesn’t like it then he knows where the door is.

We have all seen what happens when all the leadership belongs to the same team; endless wars, scare tactics that leads to body searches of 5 year olds at airports, hurried health care bills and stimulus that is spent on campaign bundlers, unions and bogus green companies all of which have led us 10 trillion more in debt in just a dozen years and a populace that is in far worse shape financially that they have ever been.

Haste leads to waste Mr. President. Or as they say in the real world; the arse you kick may be the one you have to kiss.

Do nothing majority republican congress, oh that’s right they did something the tea party came in freshmen year we get our first down grade, and we get posters on here saying that’s a good thing because now we got to cut spending, lol, but they don’t realize they got to let the Bush tax cuts expire or we’ll get another downgrade.

Obama has a great jobs plan–a plan that the GOP would usually agree with but not now because the GOP is lead by the brain dead t–baggers who want to put one of their insane candidates in power. They know the only way they can do this is by keeping the economy down. Their candidates have no plan for jobs except to drastically cut spending which will cause a depression and cut taxes on the rich, which will not create jobs. Tax rates on the rich are already at 40 years lows and no jobs are being created by the rich. The corporations are doing a good job of moving jobs overseas, however. So the Fox Right Wing News clowns are on this blog criticizing it.

Do nothing majority republican congress, POSTED BY: EMERALD SPARKS | OCTOBER 29, 2011, 10:42 AM++You do know that the repubs DO NOT hold a majority in Congress? They control the House. Reid and his little band of losers control the Senate. Try to educate yourself.

Obama and his cynical supporters continue to rail against “the Republican Congress,” completely ignoring the fact that the Senate is controlled by the Democrats.

Surveys show that many Americans don’t know who controls each branch of government. And Obama is cynically counting on that to enable him to get away with his lies.

Nothing seems to get past Harry Reid.

‘Occupy Madison’ loses permit due to public masturbation…

Woman charged with pimping teen recruited at ‘Occupy New Hampshire’…

Obama and the press….We are on their side

Just give us your money and take care of us.. we don’t want to work or pay our bills..WE ARE LIBERALS YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“The GOP is FINISHED. They have nothing to offer but extremely dumb candidates who have no plans other than to cut taxes for the rich (who haven’t created any jobs in the past 8 years)”

Hmm. The past few days Barney, Joe and the rest of the democratic posse with their talking points have been saying that the private sector is creating jobs but we need to spend more on the public sector.

Which is it?

“Obama has a great jobs plan”

You betcha.

In my opinion all Republican politicians should be executed by firing squad. Enough said.

You should go to China then where you can have your one-party system. You don’t deserve a country with a Constitution.

Let me guess, Obama will now put a laser-like focus on jobs.

Anotherday, it will make a huge difference if Americans buy American made goods as we are a big market. And manufacturers who have been loyal to their workers by keeping jobs here rather than go overseas for cheap labor, should be rewarded for their patriotism.

Spending the country into oblivion is not the right way to create jobs. Very sad.

Parker has been listening to Fox Right Wing News too much and actually believes the absurdities they spew. Spending obviously WILL create jobs and is needed in a very bad recession. If you don’t spend, the fragile economy contracts and you go into a depression. If FDR hadn’t spent during the Depression, we would not be here now. But the right wing kooks have little or no education and believe everything FOX RWN says. This to VERY SAD!!!

In his job’s bill there is a provision to allow an unemployed job seeker to sue
the potential employer if he feels discriminated against. If you call that a job’s
plan than you are a MORON. This whole bill is specifically design to help union
workers. It will not do anything to get the private sector to hire. And let’s not forget to take more money that would go to Social Security and spend it now. He has no vision that goes beyond November 2012 and do not full yourself that he does.

Government spending DOES directly create jobs. And it creates important government services that even the most Right Wing “small government” republicans would miss. For some reason, these ideologues cannot envision our country without government funded bridges, food regulations or water sewage plants.

For some reason, they cannot look back at how deregulated Wall Street cheated their way into MASSIVE wealth while everyday families were stripped of their jobs, retirements and housing investments. These same Right Wing ideologues want to trust OUR entire economy to this SAME private sector to invest in our country in a way that is best for our people.

Does the government need to downsize and run more efficiently? YES! But will the private sector run our country by itself better than the current mix of public and private sectors? NO! We need an equitable balance. Right now, the equitable balance is to use short term spending to create jobs while our economy heals. The GOP mantra of “no mercy” will neither create jobs nor help our deep Recession wounded economy heal.

Shall we tell returning troops stepping off the plane from Iraq that they need to deliver pizza or sign up for food stamps because there are not enough jobs to go around right now? Shall we tell them it’s OK for our government to spend on war, but not OK to spend on jobs?

“but by Congress then and now” I can buy that. There is not one rule that bankers, stock traders or employers live by that has not been touched by Congress ,the EPA or other regulatory agencies.
It is Congress that has the oversight and therefore if anyone needs an anal exam it would be them.

How about we not tax business more? Do we need to drive any more out of this country than we already have? Steve Jobs was right, Obama is looking more like a one-term president. Hope and change we can believe in.

Coming out of the Eisenhower era, the top marginal tax rate was 91 percent, which JFK wanted reduced to a “more sensible” 65 percent. Compare that with today’s 35 percent top rate.

Corporate rate under JFK was at 48%. Current corporate tax rate has been about 27.7%.

No wonder the top 1% continues to get richer while the rest of us, and the country as a whole, flounders.

The U.S. corporate rate at 39.2% is second highest in the world (and will be the highest of japan lowers their rate).

Why would any corporation want to base a business here?

Interesting that the bipartisan Super Committee agrees that the top corporate rate is too high.

Posted by: Volfy | October 29, 2011, 6:14 pm 6:14 pm

The corporate tax rate under JFK was at 48%. Corporate tax rates have been dropping around the world. The corporations now call the shots. Democracy means little – the corporations and the wealthy get richer – we get poorer.

I know someone else there, Zero, that can’t take a hint.

Nothing gets done because the Republican’s won’t agree to anything the Democrats want without adding spending cuts. The Democrats won’t agree to anything unless they can tag tax money to vote getting.

Isn’t that ironic when it was Bush and the majority Republican Congress who pushed the country into growing deficits and growing debt in the early 2000s – and then Bush who presided over a massive economic collapse that completely exploded deficits and the debt.

this so called president thinks he can run the USA like they do the city he came out of chicago.
Crooks and broke the city, back door deals, and his old buddy Unions
Lets get rid of him he going to ruin this country him and his union buddys.

What really is funny Jack, look around at the states in the most financial hardships
are the states run by democrats, who are tied to Pensions that are so far in debt
because of those pensions. And Obama Answer to this problem is just to throw more money at it. No Solution. Pension reform is a key to the whole states problem
and no one has the guts to touch it.

Obama doesn’t respect the U.S. Consittution and without that glue our nation is doomed. I can’t stand to listen to one more of his speeches and as a guy from Illionois I’ll echo what the rest my age can easily resonate with, Obama broaght Chicago politices to Washington D.C. and he needs to finish his term and go. I hope whoever gets elected reverses every single decision he’s made and bring some level of stability back to this country. Good god things are bad.

I hope whoever gets elected . . . bring some level of stability back to this country. Good god things are bad.

You mean like the level of stability under Bush and the Republicans. Hahahahahah!

Like the hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost every month, banks and financial institutions collapsing, major automotive companies going bankrupt, stock market in collapse, bin Laden and al Qaeda leaders still at large, people in the White House charged and convicted of criminal offences in the office, etc

The first thing on the Obama agenda was passing The Unaffordable Health Care Act! NOT JOBS!

Posted by: RadioMan77 | October 29, 2011, 11:22 pm 11:22 pm

You’re wrong. The first thing the Obama administration passed was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Almost every reputable source reports this Act saved or created millions of jobs.

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.

Reading these anti-Obama comments is like reading scripts from right wing talk shows. These people have been indoctrinated by the hate speech and its’ twisted logic. They can not be reasoned with in the least. Two things are certain: they aren’t thinking for themselves and the double standards applied to all-things-Obama is evidence of the bigotry that made them a ready made audience for the angry rhetoric they love to hear and repeat.

PROVE IT Jake! – Why did over 2 million Americans lose their jobs AFTER Obama took office? Democrats worked on the The Unaffordable Health Care Act! for about a year before it was passed and it was the first bill Obama helped to get passed! He has only had a jobs agenda, or even a jobs plan since Sept. of this year! Even Obama said that the stimulus flopped!

Jake no proof on that. We come to find out the jobs saved or created as he said were in unknown zip codes. Most went out of here. Yet another lie. Now he wants another band aid and we will do it all again in a few months.

I believe people that get their information from politicians are ignorant and uninformed ! Just my opinion !

I hear Pelosi’s state is becoming a model of economic power and job creation.

Some of the lib kook comments on this thread . . .

The very first thing the Obama administration passed was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). It was signed into law February 17, 2009.

Almost every reputable source reports this Act saved or created millions of jobs:
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.

Those organizations are not ‘kooks’, they’re well-established professional outfits. When the right wing starts to label anyone who doesn’t agree with them ‘kooks’, it gives one pause.

“Almost every reputable source reports this Act saved or created millions of jobs:”

Reputable sources do not use the pseudo-economic expression “saved or created”.

Glynnis MacNicol, Oct,28 in the Business Insider is recommended reading to all.
Tells what the Occupy Wall Street Crowd is really thinking and who they are made up off. Surprises for everyone.

Radioman, are you under the impression that the president ever signs bills passed only by the House of Representatives? Try something simple like How a bill becomes a law by Schoolhouse rock. Might be helpful. Also provide evidence via analysis that any of the bills you claim are job creating would indeed grow the economy and create jobs in the short term, medium term and long term. How many are forecasted and by and for whom? Cite the analysts. I’d be interested in the numbers and analysis. thanks.

The president is correct that Republicans have failed to deliver on their promises to focus on jobs and listen to the people. It’s really no wonder they are so very unpopular.

The Senate has failed to pass or even vote on the 15 job creating bills passed by the House!!!

Posted by: RadioMan77 | October 31, 2011, 12:25 am 12:25 am

You’ve posted this nonsense before. Please name the bills and show how the CBO scored each of them regarding how many jobs they will create.

This week in his weekly address to the nation, President Barack Obama chastise the Republican’s once again continuing his monotonous and seemingly never ending “We Can’t Wait” propaganda blitz.
When he finished recording the program the President made a call to Senator Harry Reid and reminded him to keep holding up action on his jobs proposal and the Republican ones so that the “We Can’t Wait” tour can extend into November.

Radioman, better but you forgot to back up your assertions about job creations. I know why you didn’t. You can’t. They are false assertions.

The American people are well aware that Republicans have broken their promises; they are NOT listening and they have NOT focused on jobs.

No wonder they are so unpopular.

“No wonder they are so unpopular.”

I sure won’t vote for them!

Please post the costing of these bills – and the number of jobs created – estimates by the CBO. All you’ve done is list a bunch of names – no indication of how many jobs (if any) they will create as per CBO costing.

Let’s see… Obama took office with a DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY in both the Senate and House. HE DID NOT CRAFT A BUDGET for two whole years… WHY? Instead, he concentrated on ODUMBOCARE – 2700 pages that we have to pass to find out what’s in it… WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THAT? I think EVERY REPUBLICAN in the joint should have fallen over LAUGHING when she said that and continued to laugh as they WALKED OUT THE DOOR.

Instead, ODUMBO FORCED this piece of crap down our throats, even thought the MAJORITY do not want it! In fact, the REAL COSTS only start a year or two more down the road. HIS HOPE was that we would see some benefit and SOMEHOW RE-ELECT HIM. On one hand ODUMBOCARE has helped me, but, FAR MORE IMPORTANTLY, it has HURT ME GREATLY. I will NOT forget this, nor will I forgive it.

This man has spent money like it’s going out of style… His JOBS cost US (The Taxpayers) around $275,000 FOR ONE JOB FOR ONE YEAR. That is the kind of job we can NOT AFFORD HUSSEIN. If anyone looks closely at his results, or lack thereof, you can only conclude one of two things.

Either he REALLY IS this inept and stupid, OR, he is doing this on purpose to bring down the entire country bit by bit, causing more infighting than ANY OTHER president has ever caused.

In the end, no matter what happens at this point, it is safe to say that Odumbo will go down as the biggest presidential screwup in the history of the US and that’s a title I’d be willing to bet that he hold until the end of the US – let’s just hope he’s not still here when that end comes!
