Lame line lil Chihuahua, you need need to expand. You do get board when the kids go back to school don't you.

It's bored, dipshit. See what happens when you try more than a lame C&P?

 

[busybody..]

Yep, tax hikes for rich people.

And yet, Obama admitted months ago, “the last thing you want to do in this kind of economy is raise taxes”………….

There is no plan ... but everybody is at fault for not agreeing to pass it without seeing any of the details.

Jarrett: No Jobs Bill Yet; "President Is Going To Draft The Legislation"



Valerie Jarrett, White House senior adviser, talks with Rachel Maddow about the significance of President Obama's jobs plan to his presidency and what his plan is for its passage.

Jarrett implies the complete jobs bill has not been fully written yet, however it will be by next week and the President will submit it to Congress for cost scoring.

"Congress should pass this bill right now," Jarrett said on MSNBC.

No more than one minute later, Jarrett said the White House is still writing the bill and it will be submitted to Congress next week.




After a long period of silence, senior White House adviser and longtime Chicago-based Obama ally Valerie Jarrett emerges from the shadows to admit on national television the jobs bill President Obama demanded last week to be passed does not even exist.


Others have called the machinations of the Obama White House surreal. Such a term is proving increasingly appropriate these days.

Just last week, President Barack Hussein Obama, standing before a Joint Session of Congress, declared plans for yet another deficit spending Big Government jobs program – this one costing nearly half a trillion dollars.

Throughout his speech, the president demanded loudly that Congress must “pass this bill”, and do so “now”.


Within minutes of the president’s jobs bill speech, senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett admitted to MSNBC personality Rachel Maddow that what Barack Obama was demanding Congress to pass does not actually exist – THERE IS NO JOBS BILL!

Jarrett indicated the president was about to begin work on “drafting the bill”, while at the same time admitting to Maddow that no-one from the administration had yet even met with any of the Congressional committee chairs regarding the bill’s details, or a plan for passage, giving further credence to the opinion by a growing number that the entire jobs bill speech was simply yet another in a long line of Barack Obama public relations stunts. And with the president himself admitting he intends to take the message of the jobs bill “to the American people” with planned trips across the country, the appearance of the currently non-existent bill as simply a means to justify yet more tax-payer funded campaign tours by the president appears yet more likely.

So goes the Obama White House – demand passage of a bill that does not exist, while simultaneously preparing for yet further campaigning at the cost of millions more dollars to the American taxpayer.

UPDATE:

A just-published update by Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun Times indicates that, according to unnamed White House sources, President Obama intends to send Congress something tomorrow evening.

Prior to the president’s proposals reaching Congress, the White House is organizing a photo-op send-off in the White House Rose Garden where Obama is to be flanked by public union employees, business owners, and veterans – examples of those President Obama declared would benefit from his nearly half-trillion dollar jobs proposal.

As to whether or not an actual jobs bill exists remains to be seen.

No indication has come from Congressional leaders – either Democrat or Republican, that the White House has taken any time to preview the president’s proposals with them – a situation that further supports the view the jobs bill is little more than political posturing by President Obama as he continues campaigning for re-election in 2012.



Subsequent reports suggesting that the Obama White House is preparing to submit an outline of President Obama’s job proposals later in the day never materialized – how detailed that outline will be, and if it gives any indication of how the nearly half trillion dollar plan will be paid, for remains to be seen.

Why, that's shocking! That means anyone in Congress could steal all of his ideas and get the jump on a successful bill. What an opportunity to make the President look like a Johnny-come-lately. I wonder which Republican could pull that off?

How 'bout that futures market?

Good call bro.

Yes. When they pollute, you sue them out of business and send a message to their competitors. No law or regulation will stop either an accident or a dedicated polluter. You have to rely on people because relying on government turns us all into slaves building pyramids to the glory of government.

For your information Cap'n Disingenuous, I haven't been ignoring this thread. I just haven't seen anything new from your side of the aisle, meaning "conservatives" and "Not republicans" in over a year now. Just C&P of the same boring old bullshit, hoping for failure.

Todays has been mostly you engaging in ad hominem against SaintPeter, and circle jerking with Vette.

I'll wade in when you have something new to say. Your dire predictions are still as bereft of reality as they were when I made this thread.

That's funny given the last speech the President made about halving down on stupid...



Hoping for failure?

HOPING FOR FAILURE???

What the hell do we actually have if Obama has to keep offering "fixes?"

The DIRE PREDICTIONS you demanded in the heady flush of illusionary success of two years ago are suddenly getting old and stale?

lmao...

The worst part is, you think you're still right, that Keynesian policy will somehow work its magic prior to the election, btw, that $5.00 is now worth $4.17...

Futures have already given back that late surge of speculation and profit-taking on short sells...

Europe is on fire and we're so weak under Obama's liberal good-time phony-baloney plastic banana Republic spending that they can take us with them.

And yet you blast Republican "fiscal conservatism" as something we can no longer return to, but then again, you seem to think your career is depression-proof...

"The Carter[/Obama] record is a litany of despair, of broken promises, of sacred trusts abandoned and forgotten. His answer to all this misery? He tries to tell us that we're only in a recession, not a depression -- as if definitions -- words -- relieve our suffering. Let it show on the record that when the American people cried out for economic help, Jimmy Carter[/Barack Obama] took refuge behind a dictionary. Well, if it's a definition he wants, I'll give him one: A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter[/Barack Obama] loses his!"
Ronald Reagan
