The UK paper posted it.It was embargoed until after his speech.

What part of you need a job before high speed wireless internet does he not get?Or is this the only thing left he hasn't given welfare people?

Expanding Access to High-Speed Wireless in a Fiscally Responsible Way: The President is calling for a deficit reducing plan to deploy high-speed wireless services to at least 98 percent of Americans, including those in more remote rural communities, while freeing up spectrum through incentive auctions, spurring innovation, and creating a nationwide, interoperable wireless network for public safety.

You don’t understand.

$10 billion gives it spending authority for more than $100 billion. It will be allowed to go heavily in “investment”, I mean debt without Congressional approval.

Can you say “left-wing slushfund”??

And the fool has the audacity to say he will have another committee to decide on that committee to announce where the money will come from for this TO fund Obama and lead to NWO communistic utopia THAT WILL FAIL, garbage.

ANOTHER Borrow from Peter to Pay Peter to borrow from Paul to pay Obama to borrow from Peter to pay junior Hoffa and his fat cat friends.

Not every American job is a union job -- Yet.

Not every business is a government / union partnership -- Yet.

Vote Progressive and they will be!!

Only Obama would dare infringe upon right too work states.(SEE SC)

I knew his speech was like a campaign I heard before.

$450 billion?! It was only $300 billion the day before yesterday. By next Monday it will be another $800 billion “shovel-ready” disaster.

This seems so half-hearted. WHY NOT have the details ready, unless they aren’t ready yet? The not read for primetime President is at it again.

“Obama wants everyone to have a job and then wants to tax the business until they have to close.”

Here in the northeast we have plenty of construction work that needs to be done on our roads, bridges, and tunnels; we just don’t have the money to do them. This nonsense about foreclosed homes just shows how removed from reality our foreign “president” is.

That is NOT the “act”. It is nothing more than a press release about the bill the WH has not even written yet.

DING DING DING !!! WE'VE GOT A WINNER !!!

Just doesn’t work. Anyone with a private business background or has been around government contracting knows:

- 10 to 20% or more gets stripped off to pay for more lazy government workers, because the current lazy ones claim they have too much to do. So more fraud and waste.

- Government contracts “normally” get awarded to companies already in business with a past performance and with already hired workers. Success breeds success in government contracting. So no or few “new” jobs.

- IF (and a BIG IF) it gets funded the money is probably good for only the fiscal year it gets authorized. Contract awards usually take 6 to 9 months. Since we will likely only have a Continuing Resolution (CR), it won’t get funded. That’s a good thing! But the One will probably try to count that as a savings in the budget discussions.

There is no bill and Obama can't write a bill.

This was all political and the GOP walked right into the trap again. The GOP should have demanded the speech in advance and give it to the MSM with the explanation of why they would not attend.

Better yet, they should have never invited Obama to their floor.

I believe its all a sham to shuffle billions of dollars into unions that will then become political donations to buy Obamas re-election.

Its been shown beyond any doubt that almost everyone is losing faith with Obama, but that alone will not guarantee he cannot be in the Whitehouse another four years.

Money can buy almost anything if you have enough of it.

Or anyone.

And the MSM is not even reporting this pdf version.They are headlining Obama as great and on a great comeback.

Someone said it well this morning. The GOP did have good ideas that Obama/democrats refused and when the GOP got any press on one idea; the democrats put the granny being pushed off a cliff in a wheelchair commercial out.

Obama is clearly a marxist who is either inept or crazy like a fox.Or both?

The President is calling for Congress to pass a National Infrastructure Bank capitalized with $10 billion, in order to leverage...'his re-election campaign'.

"Hope and Change"

Are you being sarcastic or what?

Don’t most Mom and Pop operations have payrolls below 5 million?

When 0bama started off talking about putting politics aside for the American people tears rolled down my face..... then watching the MSNBC crew (Matthews, ODonnell, Maddown Schultz) talk about how brilliant he was reaching out ro Republicans with more Republicans ideas(like he did with the stimulus and obama care) .... 0bama, the only one in Washington doing the right thing ...

LOL

I figure Boehner will tell Pelosi to have her Democrats write up a ‘Obama stimulus’ bill so that he can send it to the CBO, and then put it up for a vote to see it fail. But Obama will be on the road 'selling his ideas'.

Obama's proposal included extended unemployment benefits, which were lengthened to the current 99-week maximum in 2009. Top Democrats argue that such money will immediately be pumped back into the economy in the form of new consumer spending.

Lets ALL get buckets and dip water from the deep end of the pool to poor in the shallow end of the pool. They say it will work this time.
