President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to stop what he calls a "political circus" and immediately pass new jobs legislation to help the economy and restore fairness and security to the nation.
In excerpts released by the White House Thursday night ahead of the president's speech to a joint session of Congress, Obama says the country faces a national crisis and a question: whether elected officials will meet their responsibilities the same way regular Americans do.
Congressional officials and others outside the White House say the plan costs nearly $450 billion and would increase and extend a payroll tax cut for workers that goes to Social Security, while providing the tax cut to employers, too.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the president's remarks.
Struggling to fix the sickly economy, President Barack Obama planned to appeal to Congress Thursday night to support nearly $450 billion in tax cuts and federal spending, including deeper payroll tax cuts to keep more cash in the pockets of dispirited Americans. His message to Republican lawmakers heading into re-election campaigns: You'd better help.

When one wants to know what a Democrat is up to, watch for what he accuses others of doing.
The congress was a Dem super-majority until about 10 months ago. Barry’s the head clown.
2 days ago it was $300 billion. It’ll be $6B by the time he speaks.
Most of the clowns are in the White House!
Same ol', same ol'; "Whitey has more money than he needs. We're gonna take it and spread it around da 'hood".
Tax cuts? Yeah, sure. 0.00000000001% off yack wool underwear that is union manufactured in New Jersey.
Federal spending? Ten bucks sez it's about $449,999,999,926.99 sent to DNC owned pinwheel powered Unicorn ranches in Iran.

If obama really wanted to end the circus, he would have his ears pinned back, the ugly mole thing removed from his face, stop turning blue, get his wife to have liposuction everywhere including her big mouth, have her stop wearing the whitehut shower curtains all at the same time, NEVER let her be seen in spandex, and maybe just maybe, we could start taking those words seriously.
Coming from the head clown and chief and his clown posse.
So now he’s throwing people under the clown car?
The Democrat Media Circus is on T.V. every night with Obama the _______________.
Well then they should start the impeachment proceedings.
But Obama is the ring leader.
We need a picture of Obama in a clown costume, standing on his head, calling on Reid & Pelosi & Co. to “stop this stupid circus!”
What a loser.
wow. Another shining example of Obama’s leadership quality.
This stuff writes itself.
In other words, surrender to communism.
Usurper Clown
They only say this when they are losing the argument
