Obama making a pitch for jobs bill
By ConnPolitics.tv Editor on Feb 9, 2010 | In News, Washington D.C. - Congress, President Barack Obama | 13 feedbacks »
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama meets with top lawmakers from both parties today in hopes of launching a new jobs bill toward quick passage.
The president’s proposed a package of small business tax breaks and new lending that he hopes will appeal to Democrats and Republicans. But Many Republicans are suspicious of the package’s spending component.
Answering Obama’s weekly Internet address, Congressman Jeb Hensarling of Texas said the GOP is not interested in a repeat of Obama’s first-year stimulus plan.
Still, key senators aim to move ahead on legislation this week with at least a goal of winning bipartisan support.
Meantime, Obama’s call for a televised summit on health care later this month has been met with GOP vows not to take part in a sales pitch for Obama’s overhaul plan.

Ever noticed how the Greatest Teleprompter Reader ever pronounces corpsman? More than once.

There is a difference between corpsman and "corpse-man," but I guess a Harvard education doesn't cover such exalted subject matters.
Obama loves to spend - he just loves trying to fill black wholes even more than George W. Bush....
According to Janie... he's no longer president, stop living in the past.
"There is a difference between corpsman and "corpse-man," but I guess a Harvard education doesn't cover such exalted subject matters."
Neither does a Yale Degree purchased by daddy for his C student.
Anyone who remembers or has studied the great depression knows government spending prolonged the Great Depression.
0bama is jus too ignorant and blinded by extreme leftist ideology to really care about private sector jobs, and wants EVERYONE dependent on the government.
I hate commies.
An initial CBO analysis found that a mere $26 billion out of $274 billion in infrastructure spending, just 7 percent, would be delivered into the economy by next fall. An update determined that just 64 percent of the stimulus would reach the economy by 2011.
A deficit-spending shock stimulates the economy for the first 4 quarters but only weakly compared to that for a deficit-financed tax cut.
At least we knew W went to Yale and what grades he got...we don't know any info on King O because he's too afraid to release his data....
what are you, some twenty-year-old know-it-all smart a__ who thinks he knows everything cause that's what he heard in his liberal college classroom??...try having some respect for other opinions for once - I realize that is contrary to liberal doctrine...but how about growing a set??..you typical liberal pinhead....
Until he is gone, we will remain in the dark ages.
Prepare as best you can. It can get worse.....
Vote these progressive nutjobs out of office in 2010 and 2012 !
Yes, the liberal agenda is clear cut, and make no mistake about it, if we follow this leader blindly, our nation will wind up not in the ditch, but in an abyss from which we shall not escape. Our soveriegnty will be lost. The Chinese will demand something - what do you think they will want in exchange for keeping our economy going by buying our debt.
Yes, because that really worked in the past. When Wall St. got their tarp money, they still cut jobs and gave their CEO's record bonuses. So, Dad, your philosophy of trickle down economics is the failure it has always been.
"0bama is jus too ignorant and blinded by extreme leftist ideology"
As you are blinded with extreme right wing ideologies... Apparently you still believe Obama is a communist, does that give me the right to believe George W. Bush is an international terrorist?
sbman:
"try having some respect for other opinions for once - I realize that is contrary to liberal doctrine...but how about growing a set??"
Wow, you tell me to have respect for other's opinions yet you insult me a few lines earlier. Practice what you preach... maybe the other conservatives here should show respect as well. However, from what I see, hate consumes the conservatives, so I don't see any of you respecting anyone anytime soon.
"what are you, some twenty-year-old know-it-all smart a__ who thinks he knows everything cause that's what he heard in his liberal college classroom??.."
Well, I wont dignify that by saying anything other than...
What are you? Some retired, uneducated, know-it-all old bitter old fart living off my FICA contributions?
"The O Mighty Obama will take credit for making it snow so he can put people back to work by plowing and shoveling the snow"
Just like Bush attempted to take credit for being Fr. Time by changing daylight savings and standard time. You're comment was paranoid and irrational...
