College Graduates Will Rue the Day They Screamed for 'Hope and Change'

The Anointed One is becoming a broken record. His only solution to our country’s economic woes is government spending. He wants to dig a bigger hole of debt than we already have. Speaking of unfathomable debt, college graduates are having a hard time finding work.

(CNSNews.com) - There was a net decline of 406,000 in the number of Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who were working in the United States in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A net of 309,000 in this demographic simply dropped out of the labor force, which means they neither had a job in June nor actively tried to find one, according to BLS.

The number of Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who were “unemployed”—meaning they did not have a job but did actively try to find one—increased by 96,000 in June.

Our esteemed president has proposed a community college/private business initiative that would translate into jobs. The only problem is no one is hiring, and won’t until this fool is out of office.
If you college graduates think the cost of your education is an ordeal, just wait until the national debt kicks in. You will rue the day you screamed for Hope and Change.

Obama Plans to Bypass Congress on Jobs Bill

President Obama has vowed to bypass Congress if they don’t pass his jobs bill. The administrator-in-thief will do whatever it takes to implement his programs even if it’s unconstitutional:

“We’re not going to wait for Congress. So my instruction to… all the advisers who are sitting around the table is, scour this report, identify all those areas in which we can act administratively without additional congressional authorization, and just get it done,” the president said at a meeting of his Jobs and Competitiveness Council in Pittsburgh.

If Congress does not pass the bill in full, the president reiterated his plan to adopt a piecemeal approach to pass the American Jobs Act. ”If they don’t pass the whole package, we’re going to break it up into different parts,” he said.

The president’s council, made up of 27 top U.S executives, has put forward five “targeted proposals that can meaningfully accelerate job creation while beginning to rebuild America’s competitiveness.”

“These days, things don’t move as quickly through Congress as we would like. But there are certain ideas that are contained in this jobs council report that historically have received bipartisan support. And the election is 14 months away, or 13 months away. We can’t wait until another election before we start acting on some of those ideas,” Obama said.

The Anointed One has 14 “high impact” infrastructure projects he would like to push through the bureaucratic machine. It’s too bad he didn’t do that in the original Stimulus Bill. Instead, that money was wasted. I wonder how he plans to fund these new boondoggles without congressional approval. Does he have a secret stash after all?

Obama Wants Senate to Stop Playing Politics With Jobs Bill

Barack Obama used his weekly address to warn the Senate not to play politics with his jobs bill. Somebody should tell the president that it’s his own party that won’t let Stimulus 2.0 reach the floor:

On Thursday night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) triggered the so-called nuclear option — unilaterally changing Senate rules by a simple majority vote to stop the minority from forcing votes on uncomfortable amendments. It’s the same tactic the majority would use to undercut the minority’s ability to filibuster. And that’s why it’s called “nuclear” — it dramatically alters the balance of power between the majority and minority. It is not a step to be taken lightly.

What great matter drove Reid to push the nuclear button? Apparently Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) was threatening to force a vote on the original version of President Obama’s jobs bill, to show how few Democrats were willing to support it. In other words, Reid invoked the nuclear option to avoid a political embarrassment for his party.

Obama asserts that reputable economist back his plan. Do these economists have amnesia? Because Son of Stimulus is a bastard just likes its father. And this bill will be nothing more than another boondoggle.

What’s really galling is how clueless Obama is. Not all construction workers are road and bridge builders. He acts as though none of these trades are specialized; that anyone can come off the street and throw up a bridge. That maybe so in the community organizing business, but not in construction.

I hope when 2012 comes around the American people elect a president who is worthy of the office, and not a back-bench agitator with catchy slogans.

Obama Demands His Jobs Bill Back

Obama wants his jobs bill back. He wants to know why it’s taking so long for Congress to act on his Stimulus 2.0. Well, I have an answer. It’s because the commander-in-thief couldn’t find a democrat to sponsor it in the House of Representatives. When one finally introduced this failure, not one in his party co-sponsored this joke.

Maybe the Anointed One should ask his own party what the holdup is. They’re the ones he’s been waiting for.

Dems Won't Co-Sponsor Son of Stimulus

Barack Obama’s Jobs Bill was finally introduced into the House of Represents, and without one co-sponsor. The Daily Caller reports the following:

The Daily Caller has learned that Connecticut Democratic Rep. John Larson has introduced President Barack Obama’s jobs plan in the House of Representatives “at the request of the president” and that the bill has no co-sponsors.

Subsequent to The Daily Caller’s earlier reporting on Republican Rep. James Lankford of Oklahoma’s comments about the bill not being filed in the House, a senior Democratic aide told TheDC the legislation was first introduced in the Senate on Sept. 13 by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and in the House on Sept. 21 “at the request of the President.”

Both versions, H.R. 12 and S. 1549 contain the same language and have no co-sponsors.

“Members have not been asked to co-sponsor the bill. Instead, members have asked that the GOP leadership bring it up so we can address the need for job creation in this country,” a senior Democratic aide told TheDC. “We weren’t chasing co-sponsors.”’

House Speaker John Boehner’s office declined to comment on the likelihood of the legislation being considered in the House and directed TheDC to Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s office, which has yet to respond.

The democrats didn’t chase co-sponsors because nobody wants to kiss this lipstick laden pig. The first Stimulus Bill was a stinker. And nobody wants to roll in the mud with fat sow.

Obama Pushes Jobs Bill Canard

Obama used his weekly address to push his non-existent jobs bill. Why is it non-existent? Because no one in the House of Representatives has sponsored it. According to Article One, Section Seven all bills of revenue must originate in the House.

But putting that aside, it looks as though our commander-in-thief didn’t learn his lesson from the original federal boondoggle. Now, he is promoting Son of Stimulus. When is this horror show going to end?

What really irks me is how clueless this guy is. Obama seems to think that all construction workers are skilled in road and bridge building. And just how many schools need to be renovated? This is not a sustainable plan.

And why is the federal government involved in local issues like the hiring of firefighters, teachers and policemen? And how do they propose funding all of these municipalities? There has to be hundreds of thousands cities, towns, and villages throughout this country. Is it any wonder that this nation is bankrupt?

Obama then states that his plan will cut taxes for businesses who will hire new workers. I’m sure they would like to hire new people, but tax breaks don’t make up for rampant federal regulations and mandates. Who in the hell wants to hire in a hostile environment, especially when owners are uncertain of what that new employee might cost.

To top it off, the clueless one will cut payroll taxes for those of us lucky enough to have a job. So now, Social Security will run even higher deficits. Just how sustainable is that?

If this is what an Ivy League education brings us? And just think, our government institutions are infested with this kind of ideology.

Captain Obama Throws Trial Lawyer Ghouls a Bone

The economy is so bad that Obama had to throw the trial lawyers a body or two. The commander-in-thief wanted to make sure that these ghouls, who are prominent donors to the Democratic Party, had a ship that would crash onto the promontory; giving them fresh bodies to plunder:

President Obama's American Jobs Act, which he presented to Congress on Monday, would make it illegal for employers to run advertisements saying that they will not consider unemployed workers, or to refuse to consider or hire people because they are unemployed.

The proposed language is found in a section of the bill titled "Prohibition of Discrimination in Employment on the Basis of an Individual's Status as Unemployed." That section would also make it illegal for employers to request that employment agencies take into account a person's unemployed status.

It would also allow aggrieved job-seekers to seek damages if they have been discriminated against. This provision in particular prompted Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) to argue that Obama's proposal is aimed at creating a new, special class of people who can sue companies.

“So if you're unemployed, and you go to apply for a job and you're not hired for that job, see a lawyer," Gohmert said on the House floor. "You might be able to file a claim because you got discriminated against because you're unemployed."

He said this provision would only discourage companies from interviewing unemployed candidates, and would "help trial lawyers who are not having enough work," since there are about 14 million unemployed Americans.

Will the Supreme Court Submit a Jobs Bill Too?

During Obama’s big yawner speech at a joint session of Congress, he touted a “jobs bill” that will put an end to the great recession. The problem is the bill doesn’t yet exist:

Valerie Jarrett, White House senior adviser, talks with Rachel Maddow about the significance of President Obama's jobs plan to his presidency and what his plan is for its passage.

Jarrett implies the complete jobs bill has not been fully written yet, however it will be by next week and the President will submit it to Congress for cost scoring.

"Congress should pass this bill right now," Jarrett said on MSNBC. No more than one minute later, Jarrett said the White House is still writing the bill and it will be submitted to Congress next week.

Leave it to this president and his coterie of totalitarians to again spit on the Constitution of the United States. As per Section One, Article Seven; all spending bills are to originate out of the House of Representatives; not the Senate or the executive branch. What’s next? Can we expect the Supreme Court to submit their jobs bill too?
