President Barack Obama to Propose $1.5 trillion in New Taxes

Just what America needs in the midst of a double dip recession … Obama to propose $1.5 trillion in new taxes.  Just what we need to stimulate job creation, raising taxes in order to provide $3 trillion in debt reduction.  This President never met a tax hike he did not like … can 2012 come fast enough?

President Barack Obama’s proposal to reduce long-term deficits with $1.5 trillion in new taxes is less an opening bid in a negotiation than it is an opening salvo in a struggle to draw sharp contrasts with congressional Republicans.

Obama’s proposal is aimed predominantly at the wealthy and comes just days after House Speaker John Boehner ruled out tax increases to lower deficits. It also comes amid a clamor in his own Democratic Party for Obama to take a tougher stance against Republicans. And while the plan stands little chance of passing Congress, its populist pitch is one that the White House believes the public can support.

Of course Obama’s answer is tax the rich. Now that all depends on how you define rich. Obama calls it the Buffet rule; however, will people who make $250K be treated the same as some one who makes 100′s of millions? That is what Obama calls shared sacrifice. Legal Insurrection is correct, it is time for an intervention for Obama … America cannot take any more from this President.

Unreal, a President of the US pronounces political game playing with the US economy rather than providing leadership with an true and honesty economic policy.  All Obama is looking to do is blame the economy on the GOP rather they say, the buck stops with him.

Of course there is no playing politics or class warfare from Obama in his proposed $1.5 trillion.

Barack Obama Says Pass the Jobs Bill Now … Senate Dem Dick Durbin Says They Will Wait Until October

Democrats tell Obama they will not pass this bill right away. Maybe this time Democrats will understand the bill completely rather than following Nancy Pelosi’s famous words that “we must pass the bill in order to find out what’s in it.”

President Barack Obama stated during his jobs speech during the joint session of Congress and during his subsequent shilling of his jobs act that it must be passed now. He has tried to play party politics and class warfare instead of actually trying to help fix the economy. The Obama WH is trying to paint the GOP as obstructionists, yet what would cause Obama to wait nearly 3 years into his first term to pass a bill that is supposedly to important and crucial to the economy?

Obama lectures every one that they should pass his jobs bill right away.

However, it is not just the Republicans that have an issue with Obama’s jobs bill, Democrats are balking too. In fact one of the head Democrats in the Democrat controlled Senate, Dick Durbin (D-IL), said that they will look at the Presidents plan in October.  It would appear that the Democrats are not following Obama’s comments and blindly following another Obama jobs bill, son of stimulus, to no where.

The Senate likely will not take up President Obama’s plan to create jobs until next month following a planned recess period, the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber said Sunday.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said the Senate would focus on a number of “related issues” to the $400 billion job-creation legislation this week. But he quickly noted on CNN that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has placed the massive jobs bill “on the calendar.”

This might just be the first step by Democrats in distancing themselves from Obama and his poor job approval ratings. In 2012 Democrats will have to explain the $787 billion stimulus and Obamacare to voters, do they really want to have to defend ‘son of stimulus”?

Chicago Tribune Editor Opines … Why Barack Obama Should Withdraw from the 2012 Presidential Election

How bad has it got for Barack Obama and Democrats when the Presidents own home town newspaper is discussing the idea that Obama should step down and withdraw from the 2012 Presidential election? Obama said just last week that he thought that his elections chances for victory were better in 2012 than 2008 … the Chicago Tribune thinks otherwise. Steve Chapman ponders, with an unemployment rate over 9%, no jobs being created, on the verge of a double dip recession and the fact that second terms usually lead to more problems for presidents, why doesn’t Obama just leave now instead of getting the axe in 2012?

When Ronald Reagan ran for re-election in 1984, his slogan was “Morning in America.” For Barack Obama, it’s more like midnight in a coal mine.

The sputtering economy is about to stall out, unemployment is high, his jobs program may not pass, foreclosures are rampant and the poor guy can’t even sneak a cigarette.

His approval rating is at its lowest level ever. His party just lost two House elections — one in a district it had held for 88 consecutive years. He’s staked his future on the jobs bill, which most Americans don’t think would work.

The vultures are starting to circle. Former White House spokesman Bill Burton said that unless Obama can rally the Democratic base, which is disillusioned with him, “it’s going to be impossible for the president to win.” Democratic consultant James Carville had one word of advice for Obama: “Panic.”

What does this mean when Obama’s home town newspaper contemplates The One bowing out of the 2012 Presidential election? Why would anyone of the LEFT or the MSM think of the unthinkable if Obama was going to win? Of course they mention the problems with a Presidential second term, especially since it looks like the GOP will control the House and the US Senate. There is a reference of scandals that might arise. Did some one say scandals … you mean like the ones that already exist like “Fast & Furious” and Solyndra-gate”?

However, does one really think that some with an ego like Obama would step down for the sake of his party and have some like say, Hillary Clinton run? There is no love loss between the Obama and the Clinton’s. Obama has felt with the Clinton’s like something out of The Godfather, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Now suddenly Obama would give up running for a second term and have Hillary ride in on the white horse, complete with white hat … NEVER.  After all, Obama thinks he is going to win. Of course he is ignoring the fact that he is polling lower with pretty much every voting demographic including Whites, Blacks and Hispanics … add Jews to the list as well.

Just as Obama refuses to admit that Obamacare is a night more, his $787 billion stimulus plan was a disaster and his presidency has been an epic failure … Obama stepping down will be an admission that the last 4 years have been something that no one would want to repeat. It is beyond comprehension that Obama would not run in 2012, after all how will he give up weekend golfing and trips to Martha’s Vineyard without a fight.

President Barack Obama back in the 30′s for Job Approval … Doesn’t Look Like America Loves Obama … Initial Jobless Claims Up Again

Back where he belongs …

Following President Barack Obama’s jobs speech and his subsequent attempt to sell his jobs plan … “We the People” are not buying. According to the most recent Gallup job approval poll, Obama is back to 39%, with a 53% disapproval.

It would appear that a majority of America does not love Barack Obama. In fact, with a job approval rating in the 30′s, one would think that Americans want to toss Obama to the curb. However, not only are there Republicans who reject Obama’s jobs bill in Congress, there are many Democrats who do as well.

Obama is an epic failure as one again this week there was an 11,000 increase in first time jobless claims to 428,000, far exceeding analysts predictions. Why is it unexpected under this President?

In the week ending September 10, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 428,000, an increase of 11,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 417,000. The 4-week moving average was 419,500, an increase of 4,000 from the previous week’s revised average of 415,500.

Barack Obama says, “if ya love me then help me pass the jobs bill. ” Doesn’t that speak volumes about Obama, the “ME” and “I” President.  If you love Obama pass his bill, but if you love the American economy and want to gain jobs, don’t. If you love America, vote him out of office in 2012.

What Obama was really saying, or should we say begging … “If you love me, please, please please, vote for me because I have done nothing but destroy jobs, the economy and the American way of life.”

Barack Obama to Speak in NC Touting News Jobs Bill at Company that Ships American Jobs to Costa Rica

PASS THE BILL, HUH?

Why has America lost complete confidence in President Barack Obama and his economic policies? Other than the continued 9.1% unemployment and record number of people on food stamps … how about a President that would pitch his American jobs bill at a company that ships jobs overseas. YOU JUST CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP. Is Obama the President of the US, or … just a citizen of the World?

President Barack Obama will present his “jobs plan” on Wednesday at a company which is shipping jobs overseas.

Obama is scheduled to present his “jobs plan” in Apex, N.C., on Wednesday at the headquarters of WestStar Precision.

WestStar is a high-end, specialty manufacturer that just opened a new facility in San Jose, Costa Rica — creating many new jobs there, but not in the United States.

How out of touch an inept is this White House? Talk about not ready for prime time. Obama is demanding Congress pass his jobs bill now, yet he goes to a company to spin his policies at a very company that has shipped jobs out of the US. Unreal. Does any one in this White House do their homework, or do you just have to be a Democrat donor to have Obama appear? Of all the companies in the United States … this is the one Obama picks, how typical of his clueless Administration.

On the same page, WestStar Precision describes its new location, which is almost as big, in Costa Rica: “Our new office and manufacturing facility in San Jose, Costa Rica, also has approximately 10,000 sq. ft. with similar equipment as the main office. This facility is designed for high volume production to support our international and domestic clients.”

Republicans can hardly believe the company the president chose to speak at is shipping jobs overseas.
