Of course, there are MANY more examples of obama pivoting (well, really just talking about jobs in his endless speeches) to jobs.

Pivoting In Circles
Kind of reminds me of Sarah Palin going back to her talking points no matter what question was asked in the 2008 run.

Is this really the best you can do? What about the many, many "pivots" to jobs obama has proclaimed?

I can understand why you don't want to discuss it.

Has anyone tabulated the number of jobs this adminstration has destroyed or prevented? Looking at the regulatory tsunami, it has to be half a million or more.

Just myself, i happen to know 15 very sad hard working families who have succumb to losing their job, and some their pride and joy their homes. It is such a reality within itself, when you actually know people who are experiencing what we are hearing about the jobless.

It is a sad reality, that people i know, have lost jobs, and even here a year later, have not had the luck of finding another one, some did, but not the level of degree they needed to keep their homes, pay their bills, buy groceries, pay and find their own medical, and the daily essenitals of life.

Very hard for the middleaged to find another job, after the loss of one they have been on for years, ask yourself this, if you are middleaged, and lost your job, could you find another one as good as the one you had, and the same pay.

Get used to it, because this is as good as it gets. Things will start to look up at the end of the decade, but until then, every day will be a little worse than the day before.

Well, at least the obama can party down until then. He's just "pivoting" to more parties and fundraisers.
