Obama Jobs Speech Happens; Did Anyone Watch?
by Free Britney at .You have to give President Obama credit for delivering his “American Jobs Act” speech at 7 p.m. EST, getting it over with early enough so that he wouldn't interfere with the Saints vs. Packers game and/or a crucial episode of Big Brother.
On the flip side, 8 p.m. on is called prime time for a reason.
If you missed it (purposely or not) The Prez blended his trademark oration with economic proposals that essentially boiled down to him telling the Republican-led Congress, “You should pass this jobs plan right away.”
Obama tried to position himself with the public and as a voice of reason, stating:
“The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can all stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy.”
He insisted this was “not class warfare,” while saying that “we need a tax code where everyone gets a fair shake” and “everyone pays their fair share.”
The immediate reaction to the President’s speech was mixed.
Many commentators on CNN thought he did a pretty good job. Meanwhile, over on Fox News, Bill O’Reilly called the speech “pretty much a charade.”On Current TV, Keith Olbermann’s guest, economist Jeff Madrick, pretty much agreed, saying Obama “didn’t explain how” he was going to do this.
And on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart acknowledged up front that the speech was being made after he taped his show, and since he doesn’t air on Fridays, he’d deal with the Obama plan “on Monday, when you don’t give a $h!t anymore.”
That, more than anything, underscores Obama's problem: He's on the verge of being tuned out. But has he been by you? Or do you have faith in the guy?

Obama is doing the same thing he did before twice, that hasn't worked. You know definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over again, expecting a different out come, so, what does that say about President Obama's new speech about his new program? It isn't new and it will produce the same results. No new jobs, billions more in debt and the nation more divided than ever. Quit standing up for your bro' just because he is your bro' what about your country? If he continues the way he is and the country too, you won't have a country anymore.....
everyone kills me talking about his stimulus package when they forget that W had two of his own. The pork in one of them gave money to a Rum company and to a bowing arrow company. Did anyone read through that garbage and complain. George W did absolutely nothing to help this country. If anyone can name 3 three things that helped this country I will vote Republican. Please don't bring up Sadam. His death did nothing for this country. Remeber Obama is the the one who found Osama Bin Laden, George W's college friend. Name three things that did not help the rich that just helped this country as a whole and i will vote republican
Obama is a puppet and a LAME DUCK. He has no answers, he has no plan, he's a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER with a BAD SPENDING HABIT. It's so funny hearing people still say it's Bush's fault and sad that these people (and the ones who say "he's doing a good job) actually have the right to vote. That's like giving a loaded weapon to a toddler. UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES FOLKS. Just because someone gives good oral doesn't mean there's any substance and doesn't hide the facts of his FAILED presidency. Ron Paul 2012 - do America a favor!

I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN OUR PRESIDENT (OBAMA)!!! HE INHERITED A BAD BAD AND HUGE BAD LEGACY FROM FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO RECUPERATE AND A LOT OF PATIENCE. I KNOW "HE CAN" AND "WILL DO" IT. SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!! Thumbs down for the Republicans and the Tea Party. They just want to see him fail instead of thinking of our nation. Party first for them.
