Obama Spokesman:President will not Introduce "Specific" Details on Jobs,only "Some Reasonable Ideas"
Pundit Press ^ | 8/24/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 08/24/2011 6:06:20 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

...This month, before going on a vacation to a luxurious estate on Martha's Vineyard, Mr. Obama tried to deflect criticism on his handling of the economy by stating that he had a "very specific" plan to announce on jobs come September. However, an Obama Spokesman has downgraded expectations for the President's speech, saying that the President merely will offer "some ideas" next month...

Before leaving for Massachusetts, the President emphasized that his "laser-like focus" was still on jobs, even as he swam and built sand castles. President Obama unambiguously stated:

"I'll be putting forward, when they come back in September, a very specific plan to boost the economy, to create jobs, and to control our deficit. And if they don't get it done, then we'll be running against a Congress that's not doing anything for the American people, and the choice will be very stark and will be very clear."

Despite this, however, it now appears that President Obama will not be terribly specific when it comes back. The newly added ambiguity comes from an Obama-spokesman who detailed what the President will discuss in his speech.

Mr. Obama will offer “some reasonable ideas that can have a tangible impact,” White House deputy Josh Earnest stated. “There will be some ideas that the President will lay out in this speech... new ideas... I think [Republicans] will find a lot of things in the President’s speech that they'll like,” he added.

The Obamas are a couple grifters, very base, and very annoying. Their affirmative action show has gone stale. They need to hit the road, Jack, and “don’t come back no more, no more....”

You forgot to mention “$50,000 in debt for every member of your household”.

I think that it was 57% of the country voted for Obama so I don’t think it was turned over to him exactly.

52.9% of the popular vote went for Obama. This amounts to about (69,456,897/~300,000,000 X 100%) 23% of the country. But the percent that gave him the election (~9,500,000/~300,000,000 X 100%) was about 3% of the country.

“If we survive this and become a decent upstanding country again and the whole truth is told, no one would believe we were stupid enough to elect these people.”

What’s this “we,” kemosabe? I didn’t vote for Obama, nor for any of the cesspool Democrats polluting the halls of government. The left were always quick to declare that GW Bush was not their president, so I am tossing back to them the same sentiment: Barky is not my president.

Right - something like that. But that many people bought into the media lie.

Omoslem’s agenda is simple:

#1 Slow up Whitey by crushing the economy.
#2 Steal Whitey’s stuff + give it to blacks.
#3 Hand power to the moslems + terrorists + union bosses.

Unfortunately, those 3 items add up to a major doucheing.

He doesn’t have a clue on how to create jobs in the private sector. His plan is to 1) get other people to work out specifics and take the responsibility; 2) make a list of people to blame when things go wrong.

Like - Joe, I want you to take charge of a committee to come up with a plan to produce 10 million new jobs in the next month and reduce unemployment to 5%. And I want the plan on my desk next week.

I personally voted for Sarah.

Who was the last President to receive 50 % or greater of the voter age population? IF that has ever happened then he would have received a majority of voter age Americans.

Obama downgraded again. Instead of a detailed formulation of a program of action, it's just some ideas.

"We should do good things. The Republicans in congress think that's a bad idea, but I don't -- and the American people agree with me!"
[applause]
"I also think that we should avoid bad things. And they'll fight me on that! Are you with me? Let's take them on!!"

Latest, is that it won’t be reasonable or tangible ideas, but fleeting thoughts about jobs while sitting on the john ducking Moo and the brats.
