Subject: Twelve Words to Describe Obama's Jobs Speech ---
Sept. 8, 2011: President Obama pitches his jobs plan to a joint session of Congress.
Thursday night’s show by President Obama struck me as…
Presumptuous: He demanded – 17 times – that Congress immediately pass a bill no one has seen.
Tired: The speech contained little new, just mostly recycled ideas or extensions of current programs that haven’t worked.
Small: Its proposals, while expensive, offer little hope of really jump-starting the economy.
Mind-boggling: Mr. Obama wants to drains hundreds of billions from Social Security for another stimulus.
Slippery: It will all be paid for, the president said, but it’s up to a Congressional committee to figure out how.
Misleading: These were just GOP ideas. Really? Republicans have proposed another $450 billion stimulus bill, Mr. Obama?
Arrogant: He refused to consult in advance with anyone on the Hill, even refusing a meeting request from the House Speaker and Majority Leader.
Self-centered: The only job he’s really concerned about is his own. If he really wanted a bipartisan package, he would have worked with Republicans to come up with one.
Unnecessary: The president would have been better off traveling the country this week to lay out proposals, surrounded by people he could claim would might benefit.
Completely political: Before he spoke, Mr. Obama sent supporters an email titled “Before I head to the Capitol” that ended with “You should donate today.”
Hyper-partisan: This speech – especially its angry tone – was aimed at setting up the Republicans for blame next fall. Then he’ll say the economy would be better if the GOP has just done what I ordered them to do.
Misguided: Mr. Obama is betting his re-elect on a massive spending bill.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln enjoyed the show.

Then the president is right on target for a change.

Its proposals are not expensive, for they would be paid for by closing tax loopholes. And maybe the CBO was wrong when they said this package would put 1.9 million people to work?
Mind-boggling: Mr. Obama wants to drains hundreds of billions from Social Security for another stimulus.
Doesn't he know that the only reason to destroy Social Security is to make the ultra rich even more ultra richer?
Misleading: These were just GOP ideas. Really? Republicans have proposed another $450 billion stimulus bill, Mr. Obama?
No, all they seem to propose is "cut taxes" and destroy anything good that the government does. But the ideas are for tax cuts, which is the thing that Republicans have been braying about. Why don't they want to cut taxes now? Is is because Obama proposed it? (hint: it is).
Unnecessary: The president would have been better off traveling the country this week to lay out proposals, surrounded by people he could claim would might benefit.
He's been doing that for 3 years. Doesn't seem to help him get things done. Of course, had he done that, Republicans would criticize him for campaigning instead of governing and traveling at taxpayer expense.

Which is true. So he might as wells say it: the economy sucks because they broke it and now they refuse to fix it for purely political reasons.
Misguided: Mr. Obama is betting his re-elect on a massive spending bill.
Doesn't he know that you should bet your reelection on a massively stupid unfunded war?
Karl Rove is a damned traitor.
How this shitbird gets a platform to pontificate, let alone avoiding prison, is utterly beyond me.
I'd prefer he actually just get congress to put out a decent jobs program instead of just talking about it.
Rove is an idiot
Hyphens don't turn two words into one. He used sixteen words.
KKKarl Rove? 'nuff said. Calling Rove an asshole is unkind to assholes everywhere. A blight on our nation, and that's for sure.
I'm not a fan of Obama, but spare any horseshit LIES from KKKarl Rove.
