| All is good.......Obama to focus on job creation. (Posted on 2/8/13 at 8:59 am)
LINKquote:
President Barack Obama told House Democrats Thursday his State of the Union address will focus on job creation, education and energy independence.
Wasn't that the purpose of the job council he created over a year ago, that met only once, and was recently cancelled?

Well, his "laser like" focus obviously failed. So this new focus will be "Attention Deficit Disorder Like" Focus.

I don't understand why he needs to address energy independence? His green energy platform already took care of that issue.
Education.....we have been spending more and more every year to teach our students the important things like tolerance and acceptance and we can't figure out why the test scores are going down.

Isn't this the same theme of the other state of the unions?
I am so glad Obama will be speaking on this as soon as he does all will magically be fixed. I really think they need skittles to drop down like confetti after the teleprompter is turned off.

The Tenth Amendment states the Constitution's principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people.
duh
oh wait, that says the exact opposite of what POTUS is doing.

This will be the fifth State of The Union Address for Obama, and he's still focusing on job creation???????
He might say he is, but all we've seen so far lately is tax increases, rising health insurance costs, and an attempt to limit our gun rights.
Clearly the man has no economic strategy other than raise taxes. He can't/won't submit a budget, he can/does relish a crisis so he can bully Republicans with the help of the media, and the last thing he does is create an atmosphere of prosperity.

It has ceased being funny. It is now pathetically depressing.
What is worse is that the millions of dumbasses that re-elected him have not a frick to give.

Okay, I don't know why, but when I read this I had to stop everything I was doing and just chuckle. Thank you sir for the laugh.

Yep, many of his supporters obviously don't want jobs. My son is one of them. At 28, he flat out told me he didn't want a 40 hr. a week job; he'd rather live off the system.

Sucks dude, but it's the generation. What type of income is he getting relative to his pay? My gf's daughter stopped working full time and cut her hours down to 25 because if she worked full time, she wouldn't get the bump from unemployment. Sh*t pisses me off to no end.

It is NOT the generation. It is parenting. I am 30 and have never, ever, though of living off the government. Instill a sense of hard work equals reward and stop giving your children everything they want, and this shite wouldn't happen.
