Here's another Democrat meme I'm sick of hearing for the last 35 years:
"Our infrastructure is crumbling; our bridges are collapsing; and our schools are out of date."

13 White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Friday that the plan will include specific recommendations on rolling back regulations that burden business, as well as ways to spur private-sector investment.

Really? Who hear believes this garbage - show of hands.

Wait, no one's raising their hands. Hmmm.

Also, is this the first speech on the economy that he didn't mention Bush and/or 'inherited'? I think it might just be. Guess he is *finally* starting to get that people aren't buying what he's selling anymore.

14 I think him feigning ignorance isn't going to prop up the market either.

26 way OT but... Weiner!!! cribbed from JWF New York Daily News Lying about sexting apparently isn't Rep. Anthony Weiner's only gray area. When Weiner (D-Queens, Brooklyn) was photographed by the Daily News fleeing the Capitol in his Nissan Pathfinder, it was clear the July 2007 registration sticker in his window was expired, and there was no inspection sticker to be seen. Weiner, through a staffer, said the 1988 Nissan Pathfinder was registered in New York State. Not so, said the state Department of Motor Vehicles. The New York license plate bolted on Weiner's Pathfinder - US Congress 9 - had expired as of 2006, according to the DMV. "That license plate should not be on a car," a DMV spokeswoman said. It wasn't even issued to the Pathfinder, but to another one of Weiner's cars, a Honda, according to vehicle records.

That's what you got as part of Verizon not picking up a portion of your insurance in retirement. 

Before ObamaCare, Verizon was receiving EVIL~! tax credits for paying for a portion of your insurance.  Now, they're cutting you a check and saying "Yeah, you're screwed, but it's not my problem.  Vote Obama!"

35 We need to start communicating with Marxists about how government and business actually work.  They are beasts that care only for their own territory and survival... the Key to peace and prosperity is to keep the beast smaller then King Kong and better Chained up.  Even if you are convinced you could harness King Kong to plow all the fields and build all the houses, he cant be controlled... he just cant.

1.*When you put in a shortcut to "help" someone, you put a hole in the dam for millions of people to game the system.

2. *if Bush under-regulated some parts of the economy, Obama has over-regulated some parts of the economy.

-note about #2, Though Bush unregulated some things like the FED, Republicans tried to get Fannie and Freddie under control and Democrats, who many of whom were getting sweetheart deals and lobby money from mortgage lenders, played the race card.   The larger point is this isn't an aberration,, this is what will always always happen if you create a shortcut between business and government.  Good intentions don't matter when you poke a hole in the dam

But Barry does have a plan for jobs. It's a fool proof plan!

 

Speaking at an energy-efficient lighting plant in Durham, Obama called for training more engineers as a means to boost long-term economic growth

Obama announced a program to train 10,000 new American engineers every year through a public-private partnership.

Obama agrees on the need for spending cuts overall, but wants to increase spending in some areas, such education and clean energy technology like the LED lighting the Durham plant creates — spending that he says creates jobs.

 

10,000 engineers a year and "green" jobs. That's so bloody brilliant, isn't it?  I mean there's just 10,000 engineering jobs a year just sitting out there waiting to be filled. A LED lighting ought to create a billion gazillion new jobs.

This is your FINAL warning!!!

49 Also, is this the first speech on the economy that he didn't mention Bush and/or 'inherited'? I think it might just be.

Lacey, I think he did a roundabout jab because of the recent polling, but he did a stealth jab....."....didn't get into this mess overnight....."  (translation for miscellaneous and sundry useful idiots = 8 years of failed Bush policies got us here).

51 "You Light Up My Life"  would have been lamer.  Pansies.

52 And the setup quote?

"...and we won’t get out of it overnight. It’s going to take time,” .

In other words give me four more years to finish what I started. No cities are laying in ashes yet.

53 “I wish I could tell you there was a quick fix to our economic problems. But the truth is, we didn’t get into this mess overnight, and we won’t get out of it overnight. It’s going to take time,” he said. Funny, according to Barry's chart used to sell the "stimulus," Barry told us exactly when we would get back to normal. In fact, Barry explicitly predicted on that chart that at the start of Q2 2011, we would be at 6.5% unemployment. In other words, Barry and his plan are unqualified failures, by his own predictions and promises.

60 10000?, don't we have to create 200K new jobs a month for years, just to get back to the Bush years? BTW, engineers don't create jobs, more engineers increase efficiency and reduce costs.

61

“We’ve just come through the worst recession since the Great Depression, and while our economy as a whole has been growing and adding private sector jobs, too many folks are still struggling to get back on their feet,” Obama said in address.

 

The worst recession since the Great Depression? That doesn't make sense. I mean the Great Depression wasn't a recession it was, by its very name, a depression. Does he actually understand the shit he's reading off of his magic teleprompter?

62 This Obama asshole is so full of shit...

Obama should say: "If you liked what I did to Osama bin Laden, let me finish what I started with fixing the economy."

He won't say it. But that's his intent.

72 As soon as the moderates find out about Obama's detailed policy proposals, they will vote for him again.

73

“They want to know that if they work hard and live within their means, everything will be all right. They’ll be able to get ahead, and give their kids a better life. That’s the dream each of us has for ourselves and our families. And so long as I have the privilege of serving as President, I’ll keep fighting to put that dream within reach for all Americans,” Obama said.

 

Live within their means, like Barry and the government does? The way Barry got ahead was through corrupt Chicago politics, a good PR campaign and a fawning media.

78 Not relevant to this thread, just a thought..

When is [insert GOP candidate] going to make an ad asking Americans when they took their last vacation? That needs to be offset against Obama's 72 golf outings and overseas jaunts.

I was just in my break room listening to co-workers gripe about this. No time because everyone has downsized and that means the same work with less people.  More work for the same pay and no one has seen a raise in several years. Couple that with no vacation because there's no spare money.

I guess what I'm trying to say it that Obama is a jerkface. I want someone to point that out in the loudest terms possible.

According to the ultimatum, the Economy has to decide within a month whether it agrees to accept US President ObamaÂ’s proposal and resume growth based on 2006 lines.

When reached for comment, Joe Biden said, "I'll have the Navy Bean soup with crackers this time"

That there wouldn't be an end in sight. I don't recall Obama et al understanding that very well. As a matter of fact, I think the Left began screaming about getting out of any and all conflicts as early as the summer of 2003. Must be nice to demand patience from everybody even though history shows you have been the least patient in the room regarding something as critical as national security.

Other Democratic sources who talked to him late last week described him the same way. Another person who spoke to him on Saturday called Weiner's disposition "turbulent." I would have said "horny for tweetcake" but that's just me.

I'm sure that Barry heard all of this BS when he was growing up about the great Soviet economy but someone should bring the idiot up to speed on what eventually happened to it

129 Heh!  I did a deep pool run this a.m., and a random young woman came and joined my friend and me.  We got to talking, and she has been the owner of a pilates studio for the last 7 1/2 years.  I thought it was funny when she said "Yeah, 4 years ago, everyone was going on about the bad economy, and I was like 'what bad economy?'  My studio was going gang busters.  Then about a year and an half ago, the bottom fell out, and I lost a bunch of clients because they all lost their jobs.  It was really rough.  Now, things have stabilized, but I have about 1/2 the customers I use to have." 

I didn't say anything.  I just smiled to myself.  She's young, an actress on the side, and from Seattle, so I just know that she voted for Teh Won.  (Demographics are such).  Elections and erections have consequences.

"Whats the point? I am an unemployed Civil Engineer who has been looking for a job since 08. Volunteer work only goes so far before the 401k runs out! 30 years of building construction experience-12 years paying back loans-at the peak of my supposed earnings potential-for what? Hanging doors for $7.50 an hour-what a waste"

 

"I have an engineering degree...I need a job!!! You can take these degrees and convert them into toilet paper the way the job market is!!!!"

 

"OMG! Thank you so much Mr. President!!! I"m an engineer too and you outsourced my job by raising corporate taxes and creating economic uncertainty!! Thank you again for lying to our young people.... You are the man who can turn this around singlehandedly!!!

What a dude!!!

(and idiot)"

135 For anybody who doesn't know, the whole point of Keynesian stimulus is for it to work RIGHT NOW!!!.  If it doesn't work RIGHT NOW!!!, then it doesn't work at all. 

Keynes famously said, "In the long run, we're all dead." He was simply borrowing against future good times in order to pay for current bad times.

In theory, maybe it works, but the multiplier effect only holds if people aren't afraid to spend because of an arbitrary and capricious government and its rules.  And no matter what the idiot econometricians say, tax cuts are better because people aren't going around rent-seeking.

The best solution to a recession is deregulation.  Nobody benefits economically from regulation.  If you don't want an activity to take place, tax it.  At least then the government will get a few bucks from it.

136 I just passed one of those places where you can redeem bottles and cans. A friend of mine used to do it and said you can get about $7 a month doing it, and as long as you have nothing better to do, why not? Eight people were standing in line. Not one of them was a shopping-cart homeless person. Eight people deriving income from recycling... jobs created! Such a vibrant Oconomy.

137 Fix unemployment - increase it by one.

138

Remember: Obama and the rest of the experts declared the recession ended in July 2009.

If our Republican candidates cannot find it in themselves beat Barry over the head with that, on a daily basis, then perhaps they could find work in someplace more amenable. Maybe as fluffers.

 

Seriously!  Rush said today that the Republicans just need to run the numbers (images of gas prices, unemployment numbers, etc.) and they don't even have to do anything else. 

139 No matter how bad the economy is, the Dems have enough built in votes from the wefare recepients/union thugs/illegals/government workers they can stay in office.  They want to help these groups grow bigger.  They don't want to fix the economy.  It seems pretty obvious to me  that Obama is doing everything he can to ruin it.

140 Those are green jobs t-bird

Truth be told, I prefer a Vibram Economy...

Obama's jobs council, led by General Electric Corp chief Jeffrey Immelt, called for measures to cut red tape, provide more loans and invest in construction, manufacturing, healthcare and tourism, many of which have been suggested before.

"I promise you we we're going to act on a range of these recommendations," Obama said, pointing out that the private sector could adopt many of the panel's ideas.

"There are some common-sense ideas that we can all embrace to make ourselves more competitive that should not be subject to the usual political gamesmanship."

 

This clown ought be laughed off of every stage he's on.

143 Hey, GOP. This took me all of ten seconds to research. at The Blaze, quoted originally from NYT, 10/13/10 In reflecting on his time in office, the president laments that he looks too much like “the same old tax-and-spend Democrat,“ and realized that ”there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.”

144 You guys love to blame the GOP for not doing something, but half the time when we go to look, it turns out that they do say something.  It just doesn't get on the media.

145 I'll get you, Orphan Annie, - you little rat-face!  You and your little rat-faced dog!

146 Oh and that idiot Gwen Ifil (or similar guest) does nothing but repeat talking points. 5 seconds after George said GDP at this point under Reagan was 7%, this partisan scrunt said 'We havent had growth over 5% since Kennedy.' She obviously heard Reagan and instinctively thought 'dumb actor' and didn't hear the 7%. Of course the dim-witted Cristianne Amapourjournalist didnt correct her.

147

@44: "I hear Sarah Palin is in favor of economic growth. How can you fucking RINOs be against that?"

Economic growth slows the advance of socialism.  If socialism's advance is slowed, it's arrival is delayed.  If its arrival is delayed, we can't manage it better than the Democrats.

148 ”there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.” -

I am not disappointed.  I wasn't real excited about a project that was ready for a shovel.

149 it turns out that they do say something. It just doesn't get on the media. There just isn't time to cover everything. Have you seen my pile of unread email? 24,000 pieces!

150 “They want to know that if they work hard and live within their means, everything will be all right."

Says the sputtering moron that has given us +1 trillion dollar deficits for three consecutive years, and whose party hasn't given us a budget in what, 700+ days?

President Vanilli needs to shut his cheesepipe. Now.

154 The White House has long argued that green energy technologies can be a major driver of jobs growth.

And the White House has long been full of shit. Which is sort of green, well actually brown, but it's like organic so that's cool. And stuff.

155 $7.50 an hour and an Engineering Degree will get you a shovel-ready job!

Winning the Future!

156 The Beatles' Yesterday would be a better anthem for Yo Mama. He wishes he could go back to '08; plus it's been so overplayed, I don't care if it's ruined.

157 Re: Fleetwood Mac Lindsay Buckingham had a far greater influence on the band's sound than Stevie did once they joined the group. She added the sex appeal, however. Here's a live version of Buckingham's "I'm So Afraid" from 1982: http://tinyurl.com/cv796o

158 The Peter Green Fleetwood Mac was so different than its later incarnation, it really shoulda been renamed..

Although Lindsey Buckingham is a great guitarist, I just dislike their music..

159 We're already producing about 130,000 engineers a year (at least acc. to a 2005 article). Is there any chance that these government-ordained Obamineers might be given some sort of advantage over the rest? Oh, God, they're going to NASA. Reinforce your roofs, everyone.

160

The fact that Obama feels free to utter such drivel just shows you that he knows the MFM will not hold him accountable for anything.  I remember him running around telling everyone during the campaign that the economy was the 'worst since the Great Depression.' (Of course, the state of the economy under Carter was never brought up for comparison).

Now, after 2 1/2 years of failure, he's telling us he didn't know how bad the economy really was.  What actually happened was that he and his advisers just assumed that the economy was going to recover regardless of what they did and they would claim credit for success of the "Stimulus" spending.  Unfortunately, these dipshits didn't take reality into account and now they're strangling the economy in favor of their Progressive agenda.

161 I haven't read all the comments but, has anyone noted that Barry is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure yet?

True. And when it does get covered, it's edited or "contextualized" to make sure the audience "understands" the leftist line.

So stop talking to them. Tell them why.

You - Katie Couric, you aren't trustworthy. You - Rachel Maddow, you aren't trustworthy. You - CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC - you won't deliver my message, you'll deliver someone else's message and distort my words to do it. You can do that without me.

Ad space, internet, radio, FOX News... I know it's a terrifying thought to boycott the MBM, but the GOP needs to stop playing the loyal abused wife and walk out. It will be better without them.

163

One problem with Ø's engineer plan is most of his supporters are too damn lazy/stupid to do the math required for the degree.

164 The purpose of getting a college degree is to enable you to get a job that pays enough to pay down the student loan

Ironically, I was telling people that (no S-R projects) during the '08 campaign and no one believed me.  Why would anyone believe a lawyer who does land-use and permitting when he says multi-million $ projects don't just sit around?  Well, they either lose their permit (expires) or the $ goes somewhere else.  Then you'd have to redo the enviro studies anyway if enough time goes by.

166 If only we could engineer a method to extract electricity from willful ignorance we would be in the black again.

It still looks to me that the average leftie's motivation in life is to suppress the obvious facts that people are motivated by reward, and everyone is better off when people are allowed to compete for jobs, business, and degrees, and that hard work and perseverance cannot be granted by any bureaucracy. The entire political mission of the Left is to defeat what they know to be true.

Oh, but you're afraid to face anyone but friendly Fox News questioners! How can we consider you a SERIOUS candidate!!!

168 83 Obama announced a program to train 10,000 new American engineers every year

Now he just has to figure out how to get them across the border.
___________

H-1B, naturally.

169 Actually, we did get into our current trouble overnight. Over one night in november of 2008.

170
it used to be the fringe left who would scream about taxing the rich

today it's the mainstream Democrats who are openly and loudly calling for appropriation of the wealth of others.

how long until they are mob with torches and pitchforks?

171 But..but...

Debbie Wasserman-SHULTZE!!!!! said that Obamas policies have 'turned the economy around'....

Yes, she's that stupid

Best men.

err Women

countries in the best of hands people.. don't worry

(start hoarding food.. now)

172

how long until they are mob with torches and pitchforks?

Bullhorns and union placards are the new torches and pitchforks. This has already begun outside people's homes.

And remember when Andrew Cuomo and Richard Blumenthal were going to "out" the AIG workers refusing to "voluntarily" take cuts intheir pay? I know it's a stretch to say that was a threat of violence, but it's a short stretch.

173 Now I should be linking Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," the theme of Obama's life, but that version's actually cool.

Nope.  Not cool.  Whenever I hear that song, I envision Fleetwood Mac performing (lip-syncing?) it during Clinton's inaugural ball.

174

Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan fits Obama.

Is it fear or common sense not to stick your hand on a hot stove?

Also, fuck off.

176

 I'm sure that when you implemented the Recovery Act your staff briefed you on many of these challenges." At this point, Obama smiled and interjected, "Shovel-ready was not as ... uh .. shovel-ready as we expected." The Council, led by GE's Jeffrey Immelt, erupted in laughter.

 

Yeah, it's hysterical that people are out of work and that Barry lied about it. I've got a shovel ready project for Immelt's skull

177 Speaking about the economy...
Just had a home improvement contractor call to let me know what they could do for me.
Told them there wouldn't be any home improvements in the VIA household till the economy improved.
Told them to call back after the election.

After a somewhat lengthy pause, the laughter  from the other end started.


Yeh....people understand.
