And if the Hope n' Change fiasco was not a lie by our current President, what is for gosh sakes. This is anything but Hope, and people are looking for change. They cannot find any.
He sure in the hell has not helped our current situation with jobs has he. I am positive anyone else who comes in could do a better job.
I feel Obama has betrayed all of our trust. People who believed in him, and praised him, are some of the people who have lost jobs, their homes, or both. Believe me i feel any Republician who would come in can and will do a better job.
I have heard Romeny and Perry and Newt talk about jobs and even Bachmann.
Stop making excuses for this current President for gosh sakes, and hopefully the next hopeful with have business experience, cause this Presdient has none.
Infact isn't next weeks Debate suppose to touch on jobs, i heard it was.
It is clearly indefensible and I trust the American people will see that they were thrown to the lions when it mattered the most. The Republicans (conservatives, actually) are only interested in winning. The cost to the nation is irrelevant.
I found it profoundly telling that during the President's jobs speech to Congress, Obama said that the government's impasse on jobs should not cause the unemployed 14 more months of suffering (14 months until the election). In response, all the Democrats applauded. Boehner, in his seat behind the President, remained seated, hands closed, lips pursed, doing nothing. Is that goal, that intention of the President NOT something everyone in the room should have cheered?
If a politician plays politics, and if they do it as blatantly as the Republicans are doing right now, they should be recalled, or worse. They are there to do a job. Playing politics may seem like part of the our political system, but we Americans should not tolerate another second of it. Why do we? Why aren't we up in arms signing petitions and scaring the crap out of them?
Or do we deserve this government?
This so called jobs bill is nothing but more spend spend spend, where the taxpayer is left with the tab and nothing to show for it. See for yourself. Federal Jobs Proposals
When will you figure out that redistribution of this nations wealth will never create prosperity or jobs?

Yeah, the GOP Neocons supported or compromised with him every step of the way for the sake of the country

five percent do not hold half of this country's wealth.
YOU ARE CORRECT>>>>>
The TOP 5% OWN 59.4% of ALL the wealth in our nation.
(TOP 1% OWN 38.1% of ALL wealth with the next 4% owning 21.3% of ALL wealth)
The TOP 10% OWN 70.9% of ALL the wealth in our nation.
The BOTTOM 40% OWN 0.2% of ALL the wealth in our nation.
Statistics from 2009.....and I'm sure the disparity has gotten worse since then.......

According to Wikipedia...the TOP 10% owns 80% of the nation's wealth. With the BOTTOM 90% owning 20% of all wealth.
The G.O.P. has publicly admitted (Boehner and McConnell) that their only interest in this Congress is making sure Obama is a one term president.......that is their only REAL concern/goal.
Trolling the bowels of the web to dig this one up eh? I guess you should read the first sentence in King's quote and explain how you come up with your title of this thread. Or maybe I'll ask rmuse.
Well, that about sums it up.
From...
“If we find a window, we can maybe do some things together. Beyond that, I will tell you that it’s going to be important just to hang on and get a new president and a new configuration in Congress.”
The writer concludes...
King’s comment reveals there is nothing Republicans will do to help create jobs.
If this were a community college term paper, the writer would get an F - for being retarded.

OK, can we finally get liberals onboard for school vouchers, or will their blind loyalty to teacher's unions force yet another generation to spend two years taking remedial courses at community colleges?
Lots of great paying positions go unfilled or are filled with guest workers from India because Americans are unqualified to hold them.
If our marginal corporate tax rates weren't some of the highest in the world, we might stand a chance at getting some of those union manufacturing jobs back. Any change we can stop trying to play this shell game with taxes? Europe taxes corporations at 15-25% while making up the difference elsewhere. This way they don't make doing business in Europe economically unfeasible. We lose revenue when our taxes are avoided and jobs when profitable operations are replaced with money losers.
As for taxing the top one percent, Democrats had all the opportunities in the world to raise taxes on fat cats, but they didn't.
In fact, after losing badly in the midterms, Obama cut a deal with the lame duck Democratically controlled Congress to extend these tax cuts for billionaires.
The first thing liberals need to do is get their own house in order.
The G.O.P. has publicly admitted (Boehner and McConnell) that their only interest in this Congress is making sure Obama is a one term president.......that is their only REAL concern/goal.
If you continue to believe the lip service provided by the Obama administration, then we are in trouble.
