Robinson is correct, propose what is needed, not what the GOP will agree to.

he needs to do something bold that is good for the country, not something that will score him some political points.

He can propose, he can't do. He can point out those that will not do and his proposing a massive jobs initiative requiring infrastructure spending, would be well received by the majority of American people.

His resignation would be a good start.

Obama hasn't done anything "on jobs", nor does he know what to do.

The GOP does know what to do. That's why nothing is going to improve till Obama is out of office.

"Shovel-ready projects" is a dog that won't hunt this time around.

When the bottom 95% of the workforce has stagnant or declining incomes, we can clearly see that the GOP has known what to do, right? Well, for 5% of earners anyway.

It's ironic, isn't it, that he keeps talking about creating jobs while he has caused more job loss than any president in history! Look at the numbers of jobs lost because of his drilling "moratorium".

What an idiot! This guy is dummer than a a door knob, or he is doing it on purpose.

He is going to have to start dropping rules and regulations left and right, to create jobs here.

He is going to have to eliminate income taxes, to create jobs here.
He is going to have to tax imports, to create jobs here.
He is going to have to kick out all the illegal aliens and tell those with green cards to go home, to create jobs here.

Ummmmm Bob! Reality check? Who has been in power for the last 3 years almost? We have had declining employment since Obama took office.

The Republicans have not had the numbers to affect anything. The Democrats can do what they want. But go ahead. Blame the GOP. That's what failures always do; blame somebody else.

"It's all Bush's fault", right?
