WASHINGTON (AP) -- Seeking to jolt the economy, President Barack Obama will propose new ideas to create jobs and help the struggling poor and middle class in a major speech after Labor Day.

And then he will try to seize political advantage by spending the fall pressuring Congress to act on his plan.

Every public-sector job the government creates kills to private-sector jobs.

why bother listening/reading when we all know what it is.. increase taxes, cut defense spending and borrow for another “stimulus” for the non shovel ready jobs that don’t exist.
This is his last attempt at a final payoff for public sector unions because the backlash across the country has been sweeping and he needs them to get re-elected so he can finish us off.

The man is tap dancing. I’m reminded of a M.A.S.H. episode where David Ogden Stiers has a patient on the operating table who is dying. Major Winchester does a triple time step as the patient expires. Obama is mechanic without tools, a physician without skills. He is almost entirely useless and one of the biggest mistakes that the American electorate has ever made.

It’s important to mention that for Winchester it was a dream sequence.

The best "jobs creation plan" would be an announcement that his Administration would adopt the following philosophy which, by the way, was the philosophy that made America the place of greatest opportunity, freedom, productivity, and plenty in the history of the world.

"Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise." - Thomas Jefferson

"The enviable condition of the people of the United States is often too much ascribed to the physical advantages of their soil & climate .... But a just estimate of the happiness of our country will never overlook what belongs to the fertile activity of a free people and the benign influence of a responsible government." - James Madison

All he has to do is come up with new things to give away, and that’ll fix the economy, right? Remember, food stamps boost the economy. So, let’s give away cell phone stamps, and xbox stamps, and vacations stamps!

obama has never had a real job in his entire life. He doesn’t know anything about jobs. He is a Community Organizer. Community Organizers don’t know squat about creating jobs.

"to announce that he is going to give a speech in September."

Will this be the one where he reminds us that "Obama killed Osama"?

Maybe Seal Team 6 will have something to say.... Oh wait

Sombody post the graphic with Obamessiah’s face photoshopped onto the massive litter of the “god” leader being born by myrieds of slaves from the movie “300”. Those are the only “jobs” Obamessiah will create/deliver.

This is great. He’s plainly admitting he’s driving around the country saying nothing at all and wasting everyone’s time and money. OK, moron, if you don’t have anything to offer now, shut up and go away until you do. This guy makes John “elect me to hear what my plan is” Kerry sound like the political strategist of the decade.

This means next week he will ask someone, maybe Bill Ayers, to write a plan for him. And he will need it done someone after his next few pre-Labor Day vacations.

He has to wait til September because they have YET to come up with some kind of half a$$ plan and then load it onto the teleprompter.

By the time Obozo introduces his "so called" plan the game will be over.

This guy is so far in over his head that even the left and far left are now attacking him. Maxine waters attacked him earlier today.

For weeks he’s been telling us that he has long had a wonderful plan and that Speaker Boehner first accepted and then rejected it.

Now he admits that he has no plan but he promises he will have one by sometime next month.

I’m sick of being lied to by this jackass.
