President Obama will continue his campaign to bypass Congressional opposition to his jobs agenda Thursday by announcing a new partnership aimed at helping a quarter of a million young people find summer jobs.
The initiative, part of Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” campaign, is intended to replace a youth jobs fund that would have been enacted had Congress passed the president’s $447 billion jobs bill.
“America’s young people face record unemployment, and we need to do everything we can to make sure they’ve got the opportunity to earn the skills and a work ethic that come with a job. It’s important for their future, and for America’s. That’s why I proposed a summer jobs program for youth in the American Jobs Act — a plan that Congress failed to pass. America’s youth can’t wait for Congress to act. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment,” Obama said in a written statement.

You do know that Obama is staying President forever ,his in and he an’t leaving baby
You’re right....the COMMENTS SECTION is amazing!
Interesting? I'd say...ABC censors are asleep at the switch.
Yes I saw that! hehehe
I was a bit surprised and pleased it being ABC.
....and those of us who “can’t wait” until January 2013 to reclaim America have no standing.
Real jobs. No!
Obama CAN wait to produce a Budget for Congress.
Obama CAN wait to build a Keystone pipeline or open up drilling in ANWAR or provide real jobs for real people.
Obama CAN wait to close the borders so that returning US service people don’t have to compete for jobs with illegal aliens who’ll take a lower wage and accept cash.
Obama CAN wait for the USofA to go bankrupt.
But he can’t wait to sign up new 18 year old voters.
KING OBAMA .... Your Excellency ....
That’s words. Obama is a wordsmith, but what exactly is he going to do to fit these young people with jobs?
Hold his feet to the fire. Insist on knowing what he personally is going to do. Have him tell you what he will do to put young people into jobs. When he does that, I will believe him. Otherwise, he speaks a lot of jibberish.
