McDole needs to challenge him to show the math, it won’t add up.

Where does he think all that money he is going to spend comes from, the tooth fairy? And does he think the president's office will give him the right to spend without anyone's approval. I thought this child had been in the senate. By the way where did he work and what kind of work work did he do before ran for the senate?

“Today I want to take it down a notch,” Obama said. “This is going to be a speech that’s a little more detailed. It’s going to be a little bit longer, not as many applause lines.”

When Obama actually starts filling his empty shell of hope in nothing with actual policy statements, applause will turn to booing.

Funny how in the same speech in which he talks about job creation, he talks about all these tax hikes, as if that will help create jobs. Quite the opposite. However, he is correct about the need for some spending on national transportation infrastructure.

So my question is, does he know this or is he really this stupid? Is he part of the ignorant left (and therefore able to learn from mistakes in judgement) or part of the evil left (and therefore only lusts for power)?

Like hiring three hippie scientists to stand full time around every eagle’s nest poking it, weighing the eggs, taking blood samples, or plucking feathers for lead analysis. The point of course being to keep the wild wild and protected from humans.

Hillary will raise him ten billion, making it a paltry $220 billion and some CHANGE.

And Congress, including most of our dear GOP will tack on a Bazzillion dollars in pork set asides to really make an impressive "stimulus"......

Many of the imaginary jobs will be in the construction industry where illegals are hurting. Under different circumstances, this could be a McCain/Obama bill.

Here’s a message for you Mr. Obama.

I’m self employed, and my business provides jobs. I make a good living. Not a very good, or a great, living, just good. I could doing very good to great if I let the jobs go, and took my business 100% online.

You screw with my taxes, you do anything to make it even one iota harder for me to make ends meet, and I will do that.

I imagine there are about a million other small business owners who feel the same way, bud.

So he’s going to steal 210 billion dollars from private industry - which would otherwise be used to hire Americans for real jobs that provide services the public is willing to pay for - and instead use it to create federal jobs that at best do nothing and more often get in the way.

When this guy talks about hope and change, we can’t beat him. When he talks about what he actually hopes to change, he’s going to scare the hell out of people.

Keep the bright ideas coming, Hussein.

There is no chance this could pass Congress.

Why, because it's $40B over what they just passed into law today?

I, too, was wondering if ‘ole Barry Hussein Obama Osama YoMama was the Anti-Christ. Doesn’t The Bible say that the Anti-Christ, when he comes, will fool millions of people and they will love him? Yikes....it’s time to read The Book of Revelations!

You forget the stupidity of the liberals that control Congress. And there are ways around the filibuster. Frist used it a time or two.
