Obama Urges Congress to Pass $450 Billion Jobs Plan (American Jobs Act)

Seeking to boost a slumping economy along with his hopes for re-election, President Obama unveiled his $450 billion jobs plan Thursday night in a highly-anticipated speech to a joint session of Congress.

The American Jobs Act contains a blend of infrastructure spending, tax relief, unemployment assistance and other aid. All the proposals are paid for with spending cuts although the president isn’t expected to detail them until next week.

“There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation,” Obama said in excerpts released by the White House ahead of his speech. “Everything in here is the kind of proposal that’s been supported by both Democrats and Republicans – including many who sit here tonight."

0 broke the economy and has no idea how to dig out of the whole he’s had congress dig.

I don’t belong to the party of NO, I belong to the party of H..L NO!

And the blue blood empty headed GOP leadership best not foist the RINO Romney on us. It would be trading a Marxist for a Socialist. Only a hair’s difference.

Good. Obama can kiss his ass goodbye. The idiot doesn’t know what drives currency. Get bent Barack.

Just wondering why Obama did not mention Oprah instead of Buffet? Wasn’t she the person calling him “the One” and endorsing his agenda? Could it be that Oprah has had a change of heart and is now against spreading her wealth?

Yes, he is our WORST president ever because he is intentionally destroying our country. He is not the worst because he is wrong, stupid, uninformed, etc. He is the worst because he is a traitor.
