President Obama asks Congress to create US jobs
Posted: Feb 18, 2012
Bloomberg reports the following: (Now if he just had some help from the Republican House and dead-locked Senate) President Barack Obama urged Congress to enact tax proposals that reward technology companies and other businesses that help create jobs in the U.S. rather than overseas. Boeing Co., whose Everett, Washington, jet factory Obama visited yesterday, has âput thousands of folks to work all over the country,â Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. âWe want to see more of this. We need to make it as easy as we can for our companies to create more jobs in America. And that starts with our tax code.â Obama said U.S. businesses created 3.7 million new jobs over the past 23 months, adding, âCompanies like Boeing are realizing that even when we canât make things cheaper than China, we can make things better. Thatâs how weâre going to compete globally.â âNo company should get a tax break for outsourcing jobs,â Obama said. He urged helping âmanufacturers who set up shop here at home,â particularly technology companies. âAnd Congress should send me that kind of tax reform right away.â The address also is airing a day after Obamaâs advisers said in an annual White House report to Congress that they expect the U.S. economy will gain strength this year and add 2 million jobs. A âplausible rangeâ for the average unemployment rate this year would be between 8 percent and 8.6 percent, the report said, citing private forecasters. ;
And WE all know.... - Analyst
[ In Reply To ..]And EVERYONE "knows" that a president's "advisors" are the BEST source for accurate economic data and forecasts, *ESPECIALLY* during an election year!!
More BS from our lousy president.
Oh, and where was this "plan" of his in 2009, 2010, and 2011, hmm? It's a few years TOO LATE. I'm certain that Boeing will reopen its plant now in the wake of this "exciting, important "news!" (not!)
And WE all know.... - Analyst - Voice of reason
[ In Reply To ..]Where was all of Obama's interest in "helping" Boeing when he filed suit against them? With you on this one big time...Obama cares about Obama. PERIOD.
If the Pubs put as much effort into jobs as they do contraception - sm
[ In Reply To ..]This country would be great if the Republicans would quit using issues such as birth control to waste time on and divide the country. Oh yeah, and protecting the rich.
HEHEHAHAHOHO - Dems bigget dividers
[ In Reply To ..]King of division currently resides in the White House.
Let us not forget ricky san's active - SM
[ In Reply To ..]involvement in the Terri Schiavo debacle. He flew down to her bedside. If he becomes president, with him busy inserting himself into strangers' family decisions over life and death, corralling all those women using contraceptives outside of the Sacred Union and keepin an eye on those pesky protestants, when will he find time to work on keeping the government out of our personal lives? That's what he stands for, am I not correct?
P.S. cannot forget the man-on-dog worries he has.
Much like that prez now - into EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE-sm
[ In Reply To ..]except for the 10-mill vacas and unlimited golf and basketball...where does Obama find the time to still interject himself into everything from our bank accounts to our electric lawnmowers they call cars. Where does he find the time!!
nonsense response - sunkday
[ In Reply To ..]Rick's insistence on imposing his particular religious views on everyone should be carefully noted by all voters. He has said Obama has "phony theology." A new low for national discourse. How could be have sunk so low as to publicly question an elected officials religious belief. Ignore the right's gobbly-gook and remember why the pilgrims came to U.s. Santorum intends to destroy religious freedom.

Sadly, I believe that's EXACTLY what he stands for. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]Then we have Romney, who believes that foreclosures should continue so that investors can buy them up and put renters in. So much for the American Dream.
Also, there's Gingrich who thinks that children should be janitors in their schools. I don't believe this would leave much time for studying, but maybe he wants them to remain janitors for the rest of their lives.
Paul believes we should completely ramp our foreign policy so as NOT to continue funding phony wars, mind our own business in the world and to limit our military to defending our shores. However, Paul has no chance of winning because his votes aren't being counted correctly.

Jobs Obama - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Too bad Obama spent so much time filing suit against Boeing for trying to create jobs just 'cause old Obama did not like the location. Too bad Obama spent more time berating Boeing than he did helping them...wasting milliions of dollars that Boeing could have used for their workers and job creation. Obama cares about nothing but his JOB and the jobs of his cronies.
Obama stinkx - mythoughts
[ In Reply To ..]We could have had 20,000 new jobs if that moron wouldn't have canned the proposed Pipeline - Obama has got his own agenda. It is to give the country over to the illegal aliens residing here any way he can. We will be a third world country totally if he gets another term. Sometimes, I think he is a "terrorist" himself with the way he pushes for things the US citizens do not want.
Ifou polls are correct, it is beginning to look like y - are in the minority. nm

Be careful who you call a moron - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]If the Ogallala aquifer is contaminated by the pipeline there will be lots more to worry about than 20,000 jobs as 8 midwest states will have no clean drinking water. He did not can the proposed pipeline but postponed it until studies can be completed.
Pipeline - Already 3 solid years of
[ In Reply To ..]environmental research from several different entities. Nothing more than stalling on Obama's part to serve his own interests. They are also putting in use PIPELINES ALREADY IN PLACE, but guess that wasn't good enough either. They also offered up a different route, which Obama rejected out of hand.
Yes! And more fracking by fault lines and schools! - nm

You're kidding, right? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The Republicans have come out and publicly said they want regulations gone for certain (rich) corporations, placing Americans in jeopardy of unsafe workplaces, etc.
As far as calling my post a lie, please try to heed the monitor's advice and not call names. It would be really nice on this board if people could be civil. You're entitled to your own point of view. So am I. To attack me because I don't agree with you really offers nothing to the conversation.
I'd really like to discuss politics, but that's becoming increasingly more difficult as days go by.

[ In Reply To ..]Nailed it on the head. Long time ago, Obama said he wanted to completely change America as we know it...yeah into the communist utopia Obama has swirling in his head. Have yet to see anyone on this board supporting Obama that can list ONE country that has flourished under the Kenseyian policies Obama so dearly loves, or under socialism, or under communism, or under Marxism...pick your ism -they all turn out the same way.

[ In Reply To ..]
that makes sense - ...
[ In Reply To ..]Good thinking. The president's agenda is to give the country over to illegal aliens - all because YOU know what US citizens want.
Most US citizens do not want more time and money wasted on unsustainable solutions (like pipelines) that only serve to keep the failing status quo on life support.
that makes sense - ... - No sense in this post...nm

People don't want to be told they must obey - sm
[ In Reply To ..]the doctrine and teachings of one particular church when it comes to contraception.
Now, that's exactly what Santorum does, plus there was actually a HEARING on whether or not birth control should be included in Obamacare. That hearing was called by the Republicans, and they permitted NOT ONE woman to speak.
You can't blame THIS on Obama!
I think that's a good thing, but there is just one question I have - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I think it's always a good thing for someone to create jobs. Kudos to Mr. O. I do have one question, and please leave out any blame to republicans or democrats because that's not what I'm asking. My question is why now. Why didn't he do this a long time ago when everything was really bad. Why didn't he do this a year two or so ago. Why has it taken him so long to do this. Or has he. I don't remember reading that he has, I'm just wondering why now?
If you do a web search - you will find
[ In Reply To ..]this has been an ongoing struggle. He signed a jobs bill in 03/2010 and vowed to do more. His bills are being stalled by ______. (no blaming, you said) He decided to break the bill up into smaller pieces to get it passed piece by piece.
It is not "why now" - it is doing all that he can with the powers he has.
Web Search - Obama propaganda
[ In Reply To ..]Since he had absolute total control of House and Senate for 2 solid years, Obama has no excuse. Probably required too much time off the golf course to actually bother doing anything. BTW, the House (with R control) has passed over 30 bills, yep 30 bills, that have to do with tax reform, job creation, deficit reduction, increased oil production, health care reform to name a few, and EVERY SINGLE BILL WAS CRUSHED BY PELOSI AND REID. They would not even permit a vote to take place....yeah, Obama and his team really have the interest of the electorate at heart. Try running those stats through the web search. Bet good old Obama propaganda will never list 1 of those bills for public review. They couldn't even pass a budget in over 1000 days (even with complete House/Senate control for over 700 of those days). Pretty much tells you where the log jams are.
just plain wrong - sunkday
[ In Reply To ..]a fact free post. Anyone who has even occasionally watched the news over the past 3 years is aware of the republican antics to stall any progress and destroy the president. Motive is not patriotic - motive is making money with insider trading.
wrong sunkday - Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]This comment makes no sense. When you have a super majority in both houses and cannot pass your agenda, your own party has to be voting against you. How do you account for the democrats that voted against Obama? You cannot lay that at the doorstep of Repubs. Are those democrats un-American as one poster stated regarding anyone not voting with Obama? Did you look at any of the bills (more than 30 as stated by another) that the House passed and Pelosi and Reid refused to permit votes on; both Democrats? How can you blame Repubs for the actions of Reid (D)and Pelosi (D)? Pelosi and Reid blocking votes has nothing to do with Repubs. If you occasionally watched the news, by your assessment, you would have seen some of this from the Democrats, as well.
Mind block about filibuster and cloture? - NotThisAgain
[ In Reply To ..]very easy to Google.
I didn't ask you to put a ____ in place of the word republican - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Can't even answer a simple questions without blaming republicans. I asked that you leave out any blame to republicans OR democrats. That did not meant to put a line in place of the word democrat or republican. But no, guess that was too hard. Had to put blame on republicans while ignoring any blame towards the democrats.
Your line of "he's doing all that he can do with the power he has" is such a complete utter rubbish. That's about as brilliant as "he can't do everything overnight you know". Complete rubbish.
Since simple directions can't even be followed I now have to wade through the obvious bull and I'll take "He signed a jobs bill in 03/2010" as your answer. The rest of it is is not an answer to my question.
Oh yeah, here's a BIG BTW - BOTH parties are at fault. Your side doesn't get a free ride from blame.
Last word - you still didn't answer my question of "why now". Why didn't he do this a year or two or even right after he was elected to ask congress to get jobs created since the problem was there during Bush's term. Why now as we are coming into an election year. Why has he waited until right before he wants to be reelected to act like he cares about jobs for the people. If he really cared about the people of the country he would have done this a long time ago. Why now?
Pardon me - dupe
[ In Reply To ..]I thought you were asking an actual question. Good camoflage. My fault - should have seen the bushes twitching and heard the snorting.
Pardon me - dupe right back - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I asked a simple question - why wasn't this done before, why now is he doing this. Don't care if you thought that was an actual question or not. Usually when a statement starts of with "why" you can be pretty assured its a question even if there is no question mark.
Maybe if I had asked the question and then said - Please everyone don't reply unless you blame the republicans because everything that has ever happened in this country is their fault, so please go on to bash.
Sorry a simple question was too hard. Thankfully there are other posters who answered without the blame game and just plain facts.
You are sweet - hava good day
[ In Reply To ..]nm
I didn't ask you to put a ____ in place of the word republican - To sm- From Conservative
[ In Reply To ..]Personally, I thought you had laid out a very thoughtful post and agree with you. Unfortunately, there are a few on this board that seem genetically incapable of answering a direct question without an immediate desire to blame or insult. One post mentioned the bills that were passed through the House (over 30) and I went and looked it up. They were correct. Every bill passed was stopped by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. If there was a true desire to employ people out of work, some of these bills could have been passed or tweaked for betterment. Not to mention the first 2 full years Obama had majority control of House and Senate. How can anyone blame one party exclusively, as you stated, when some job bills could have been enacted back in 2009 and 2010 with super majority? If you look at the facts alone, the last 3 years makes no sense at all to your point.
You nailed it. Thank you. - nm

Not interested in any job - Other than his own-Obama
[ In Reply To ..]Now he's running for reelection, he has to convince the masses he is looking out for them. Could have done things 3 years ago to better job situation. He would rather stick his nose in every crook and crannie of your life to tell you what to drive, what to eat, what to weigh, how to think, and become so dependent on government you can't blink without his permission. Obama has not interest in anyone other than himself.
Yes, he has. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]It's the Republicans who came in, claiming to save the day and create a LOT of new jobs.
They haven't delivered on their promise, but Obama has.
The economy is getting better.
AND all the trees are exactly the - right height!
