Obama: We Need to Get a Handle on Long Term Debt So We Can Pay for Jobs Programs Now

By Doug Powers  •  August 17, 2011 02:02 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

The Obama administration is fully aware that the unemployment rate needs to drop if the president is to have any hope of re-election, so brace for more artificial measures to push down unemployment (besides increasing food stamp usage and extending jobless benefits). What will Obama propose? Mobilizing for a space alien attack? Possibly. But most likely, should the president’s spoken “plan” ever make its way to paper, more “stimulus” could be in America’s near future:

As he prepares to give a major speech with fresh ideas to jump-start the economy, President Obama told a Kansas City television station Tuesday that he wants to rein in the deficit in the long term in order to spend on jobs programs “here and now.”
[...]
“I think that we’ve got to take a longer term view — how do we deal with our deficit and debt in a long-term way? If we get that under control, we can actually pay for some additional job programs in the here and now,” Obama told FOX 4 in Kansas City. “It’s that kind of combination that I want to be able to present to Congress when they come home.”

John Boehner’s Press Secretary responded to the “another plan delivered via speech” approach (h/t HAP):

null

The CBO has said they can’t score speeches — so naturally another speech it is!

In other “Jobs Tour” news, the bus itself has helped create jobs. Well, in Canada, but it’s a start:

WASHINGTON — President Obama is barnstorming the heartland to boost US jobs in a taxpayer-financed luxury bus the government had custom built — in Canada, The Post has learned.

The $1.1 million vehicle, one of two that Quebec-based Prevost sold the government, has been tricked out by the Secret Service with state-of-the-art security features and creature comforts.

At least the Canadian buses would explain the recent appearance of all the hockey sticks.

Also, a couple of days ago, President Obama told the auto industry, “You can’t just make money on SUVs and trucks.”

Judging from his Midwest motorcade, you certainly can if you sell to the administration’s Motorcade Czar:


*****

They were going to include a Volt in the motorcade for “green” promotional purposes, but TOTUS refused to share its extension cord. That’s probably for the best anyway, because this guy was scheduled to drive.

    I think that was less an observation and more like an admonition, threat or order.

    In other words, “I’m telling you, you must make the vehicles I demand you make, not just SUVs and Trucks, even if you make money on them.”

    Redistrubition of resources in vehicle manufacturing Obama style.

    I’m convinced DC was purposely built on a swamp, just to make staying there so miserable, CONgress would work fast to get its job done so it could end its sessions quickly while inhaling as little swampgas as possible and go home.

Actually, he’ll tell us in September 2011, that he expects the Republicans to work with Democrats to get something done that he can sign by mid 2012. It would be nice if he would at least tell the Democrats to work with the Republicans for a change. In any event, he will continue to campaign and watch the gridlock continue so he can blame Republicans in October 2012.

    Have you noticed the MSM, even local TV stations will refer to Obama, even if the story is about non-military issues as “The Commander in Chief.”

    Well, he is “The Man Who Shot Osama Bin Laden”, after all. I hear a movie’s being made about it, signing Robert Downey Jr. to portray our heroic president.

    Obama’s idea of economy is to borrow so much and spend so much now that his phony predictions of how good it will be in the future when all the new “jobs” are producing income tax revenue will pay down the deficit then. Exactly how stupid does this man think we are? Don’t answer that. It’s obvious.

    Well, it’s obvious he’s annoyed that not nearly enough of us recognize or appreciate his awesomeness.

    Thats one reason he has to keep scolding us in speeches on TV to remind us.

    I was thinking it is about time he rolls out his proposal for his civilian protection force that is armed as well as the military. He can use all the recent flash mobs and the union thugery as justification and can claim it will instantly create x number of jobs.

    Not only use them for justification; those are his troops.

    That’s what I was thinking.

    Notice how D’Obama and the Justice Department are silent on both flash mobs and union thugs.
    They’re too busy putting out propaganda that Tea Partiers are terrorists. We truly are living in Orwellian Times.

    I defy you, Big Brother.

    HI FLYOVERMAN–#70. Don’t forget the other popular “crutches”–Night Train, Ripple, and the ever popular Sneaky Pete ($3 a gallon Muscatel). You can really improve political events this way. After 3 or 4 bottles of this stuff even Howard Dean starts to make sense.

    It’ll probably be armed better than the military.

    One night in college, we all overindulged in Boone’s Farm Tickled Pink…or as we dubbed it – “Tinkle Pink”. Never drank a cheap wine again…ever.
    Thirty-four years later, it still brings forth a shudder.

    Think: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance song by Gene Pitney (tells you somewhat how old I really am):

    Everyone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty OSAMA fall
    The man who shot Liberty Valance,OBL, he shot Liberty ValanceOBL. He was the bravest of them all.

    Stupid enough to not stop him from assuming an office which the Constitution says he is ineligible for.

    Native born is not natural born.

    Why is he using someone elses Social Security number?
