___This week, as President Obama prepares for a big jobs speech---

I have come to think of the speech as The Viagra Speech The Viagra is called upon to save an impotent Presidency.

Hence forth September 8 will be Viagra Speech night

Or to put it better by simply paraphrasing Ronald Reagan:

"Recession is when your neighbor loses his job.

Depression is when you lose yours.

And recovery is when Barack Obama loses his."

We won’t solve the unemployment problem until Obama is unemployed.

Hi VRW,

That is simple but pure genius. Very well said.

Even worse -- he used a similar line regarding jobs and his summer vacation in 2010.

He is still just recycling the same ole lines, the same ole speeches, the same ole blame game, the same ole race cards.

Currently 91% would prefer to watch the NFL kick-off.

Mark my words, if a conservative wins the White House in 2012 and says “This country is open for business!”, the floodgates will open. The economy won’t turn around overnight but it will be roaring by 2016, which should get him/her reelected.

If you remember back to July 2008 when it became a vitual lock Obama was going to get the nomination, the stock market started to tank. Why? Because institutional investors and the majority of private investors were smart enough to realize what Obama was all about and they wanted no part of it. The result was the bull market, followed by businesses cutting back, contributing to increased unemployment. Through in the banking woes, which burst the housing balloon, and it was the perfect storm.

Once the business leaders and investors realize Obama will not get four more years, the USA will explode and it won't take that long to turn it around. The reason this will turn around quicker than say the Carter-Reagan transition, is because there is so much cash in the coffers of most companies, that it will be unleashed quickly, as long as the new administration and Congress decide to reward profit making, not punish it.

Barry has made many speeches now regarding the fact he will make a speech. Since he apparently has writer's block, why doesn't he just bring in his old, dear friend and ghost-writer, Billy-the-Bomber, to explain to all of us - in nautical terms - what he wants to do next.

Since Billy-the-Bomber likes nautical terms, which ones would we hear?
Bail-out, bilge, swamped, wave, Titanic, both oars not in the water, drunken sailor, set sail, set a new course, a rising tide, moorings, take the helm, swimming in red ink, ship will come in, overseas, ......

Paying attention TOTUS?

Changing the language to control the debate is a good ol’ Communist practice. Of course, Communists like 0b0z0 don’t allow any debates anyway. If anyone tries, s/he is a racist!

One item would get the country out of unemployment and reduce the deficit almost immediately - DRILL BABY, DRILL!

0b0z0 won’t do it because it’ll stop him cold from destroying the country. Oil companies and businesses would invest immediately in hiring people in an industry that would top the Saudi counterpart.

Employment will accelerate; REVENUES that progressives are dying for will stream in saving the country.

The 0b0z0 and his Communist crew would rather spawn, encourage and empower violent elements to “revolt.” One major way of achieving that is to give the feral animals and unions time on their hands, immunity from prosecution (H0lder’s Heroes, coming to the theatre near you) and Whitey intimidation through next summer.

Practically, the only way to fuel the Communist “revolution” is 0b0z0’s de facto new campaign slogan:

Read My Lips, Nooo...Newwww...Joooobs.

With 0bama I might expect a UFOmism. I think we all know which planet he’s from.

... make gov’t into a dynamic, effective organization ...

That would like making rattlesnakes bigger and faster, with larger venom sacs and more durable fangs.

Quiet please...the president is thinking deep thoughts....so deep that mere mortals like you couldn't possibly understand

Deep though eh....

Reminds me of the CND efforts in UK during the cold war....when that leftie Bertrand Russell was arrested ....

Jailer: "And what is your name?"

Bertie" "I am Bertrand Russell"

Jailer: "And what do you do?

Bertie: "I am a philosopher"

Jailer: " and what does a philosopher do?"

Bertie: "I think"

Jailer: "Well then....do you think you can take this toothbrush and clean out those latrines?"

Also don’t forget the Democrats controlled Congress from 2006, and they shut down any resemblance of a national energy policy, as well as starting the process of increasing unemployment from that point.

This is going to be a historic week! I predict that the debates, speeches, and Obumas Address will be the thing that dooms him. Long on talk—short on anything real—just more of the same. He is an empty suit.

“I predict Obama is going to try and make it sound like he is going to make gov’t into a dynamic, effective organization with efficiencies never seen in the private sector.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Which would be comparable to Michael Moore announcing that he has plans to win the Boston Marathon and the World’s Strongest Man contest along with the Mr. Olympia title once held by Schwarzenegger.
