That's what one of his "spending packages" was supposed to be for. Remember? Of course you don't!

He has no idea. He voted for and still supports Obama just because he's black. Other than that he has no clue.

[bike nut]

Hahahahahahahaha........ ......

One day it's green energy, the next day it's infrastructure investment. Once again, Obama has shown he has no clue about anything.

Once Obama has that $450 billion in his hands, do you really think he's going to spend it on road construction? Hahahahaha, only a fool would believe that steaming pile of dung he's pushing as a Jobs Act.

If he's so fucking smart (which I wholeheartedly believe he's not), why not figure out a way to use the existing gas tax, vehicle tax, and vehicle registration and licensing taxes to fix the ailing U.S. road system.

Fucking moron.

the Republican's are, why do you think they refuse to pass his american jobs act, that more than or like 70 something percent of american's want?  Republican's don't care about the average working man, they care about the millionaire and pleasing their corporate money donors.

Don't know who's dumber..you or Benny.

Democrats don't either.  Democrats also receive more from big money donors.  12 of the 13 richest districts in the US in '08 voted Obama.  Democrats have also enjoyed majority-control of the House the past 60 years....in that time more and more jobs are shipped off.  The US's biggest exports are scrap metal and food despite a skyrocketing poverty rate....with Dems in power.

Jobs Act?

It's a permanent fucking tax increase to pay for a one-time stimulus program. If the Dems were at all concerned with creating jobs, they'd be putting the numerous jobs bills already in play to a vote. Harry Reid has them tied up because he knows Obama's plan blows dead goats.

The Job Act is aimed to save one job only and that's Obama's. And come November 2012 that ain't gonna happen.

[225for70]

665 K per job...

[bike nut]

Maybe Obama can come out and try to explain how extending unemployed benefits again helps stimulate the economy.

Or how kowtowing to the unions will help the average American and our economy.

Or maybe even something simpler - like take a position on the Occupy Wall Street losers.

actually there are 15 jobs bills passed by the house sitting on the senater floor that they refuse to pick up. Many of which include things in this job bill simply without the tax hikes.

Why isnt the dem run senate voting on these bills?

why isnt obama urging them to vote on these bills?

I am sure they are biased towards corporations or have some weird loopholes built in that help the rich in some way.  The republicans are the rich and corporations puppets, you know there is shit in those bills that is toxic.

This whole "Republicans are corporate cronies" and "Democrats are for the working man" is complete and utter nonsense.  Who the fuck still believe this bullshit?  Oh, thats right...dumbass Obama voters like yourself.....or equally idiotic Right-wing morons who think Jesus is coming back at any second now.

Is that why obama got more donations from corporations and wall street than any other candidate last election?

[Soul Crusher]

Obama has spent trillions so far.   Where did it go?
