President Barack Obama plans to send the text of his jobs bill to Congress on Monday night, a White House official said Sunday.

Geeze O Petes, you’d think they’ve raised the debt ceiling or something.

The bill will just be a copy of his speech.

They’ll probably get the abridged version:

1) Spend
2) ???
3) JOBS!

I guess he needs the money for his re-election. Must have run out of TARP? ‘Cause you know only his buddy’s will benefit from this cash!

Obama’s bill:
I spend whatever I want to pay off my constituents, and congress can figure out how to pay for it. Of course, I won’t like it, so that I can demonize the GOP and TP.

Jackass Obama has no power to create jobs. Call it a “kill moonbat regulations” bill and I might read it.

From the article:
“He will call on Congress to pass the bill, which contains the kinds of proposals to grow the economy and create jobs that have been supported by both parties in the past,” the official said.
Give me a break. Didn't he admonish Congress to “Pass this bill” something like 17 times on Thursday night.

I still wish that Boehner would have offered to start the procedural steps and have the first reading into the record while Obama was still on the Podium Thursday. He could have said, "Mr. President, since we have a quorum present, and I don't want to obstruct this important legislation, we can read the bill into the record right now. May we have the bill, Mr. President. If nobody in your party will sponsor it, I'd be willing to move things along by sponsoring this bill myself."

Obama has outdone Pelosi.

Pelosi's line was, "We have to pass the bill so you can see what's in it." Obama is going for, "You have to pass the bill so we can write it the way we want."

The spending portion will be in the bill tomorrow.

The cutting portion will be in the sometime next year or after the election or midway through 2020.
