Reply #6: Please re-read: He said that government is not THE MAIN engine of job creation!

As a federal government employee, he is right!! Yes, the government creates jobs, but that's not its ONLY job. The private sector does that through the hiring of people.

In addition, the president is further right because most proposals begin in the Congress--the legislative branch of the United States--not the Executive branch!!!

Why aren't you holding Republicans accountable for not advancing for a jobs bill? When the Democrats were the majority, there were several jobs bills--including a small business stimulus--that made it out of the House and stalled in the Senate due to Republican filibuster!! HOW SOON WE FORGET...

The Obama hatred on this forum is fast becoming ridiculous.

All you have to do is go to the White House webpage, or the OMB website to see the president's proposed budgets for FY2011 and FY2012. You'll see that these budget proposals put forward for the Congress to review and set into legislation contain many initiative to spur job growth and retention.

Here's a link to the president's budget:

Put aside your hatred and impatience for the president and understand that the REAL ENEMY is the Republican Party!!!!!!!!
