Back to work!
President Obama said today that next week he will unveil “a series of steps that Congress can take immediately” to help grow the economy and create jobs, his two top priorities.
“That’s our urgent mission,” Obama said as he nominated economist Alan Krueger to head his Council of Economic Advisers. “That’s what I’m fighting for every single day.”
I’m fighting for it every day, the president said, upon ending his nine-day vacation. I’m sure the caddies of the nation thank him.
Obama and aides are working on a major speech for next week centered on the nation’s 9.1% unemployment rate.

Hey Mr. Geraghty,
“Community Organizer Presidents don’t work, they FIGHT!”
-President ‘Bam-Bam’ Obama
The American people will then have to ask themselves why he didn’t do something about jobs 3 years ago....lol!
“that Obama’s job plan is being finalized,he’s still in discussions with his advisors...”
Correction, his advisors are still working on a plan to give him
It reminds me of another Demoncratic president who worked hard at delivering a middle class tax cut but couldn’t (didn’t want to). But for the life of me, I just can’t remember who that was.
Ohhhh yaaaa. It was Bill Clinton.
“My administration will not rest until every American who is able and ready and willing to work can find a job.”
In essence, his “infrastructure bank” would be a new federal entity that would make loans to support interstate highway, rail and other construction projects that have regional or national scope.
“Now is not the time for us to not invest in infrastructure. We used to have the best roads, the best bridges, the best seaports, and these days China has got better airports than us. Europe has better rail systems . . . There is no better time for us to invest in infrastructure than right now - first of all, because we need it,” said the president at a campaign stop in Decorah, Iowa on Aug. 15.
Obama seems to be trying to channel FDR, who tried without success to spend the country out of the Great Depression with an array of public works projects. It was not until the outbreak of World War II that the economy suddenly was back on its feat, thanks to the overwhelming need for armaments and munitions.
Obama and his allies, like U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), foresee the bank being modeled along the lines of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - i.e., a government-run financial institution in which politically powerful bureaucrats decide who gets loans. Equally important, they decide who is required to repay the loans - and which borrowers have their loans forgiven.
Kerry has said that Obama’s bank “will finance economically viable projects without political influence.”
We’ve all heard of Boston’s “Big Dig.” Well, Kerry’s comment can go down as “The Big Bull...”

Ummm, the President doesn’t run Congress. He ain’t in charge of it, someone better smack his ass down fast.
I would like to see Speaker No Balls come out and give resident Obama a list of stuff HE ought to be doing and tell him to stop taking so many taxpayer funded vacations while the country is tanking hard.
I bet he can hardly wait for Labor Day. (another 3 day weekend and another world tour vacation, indubitably)
Either he can't be bothered reviewing/rehearsing his speeches, or he has the slowest speech writer in history. Of course being stupid is the cherry on top.
Who is he fighting?
That's right - it's the American people.
Yeh, and he is so effective at fighting for jobs, that his advisor, Imelt has just shipped some more jobs over to China.
Hey!!! That’s Kenyan, KenyAN!! Please leave my name out of this! Thanks.
