1. Preview: "which is why it's so important to get our budget under control...

... so that the confidence fairies and bond vigilantes don't raise interest rates."

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. Maybe he'll offer additional concessions to the GOP, too! nt

[nc4bo]

2. So the troubles in Greece have a bearing on the number of jobs created here?

Seriously - someone break it down for the masses?

[Dawgs]

4. Talking about debt and deficit and how giving in to Republican demands will help create jobs.

:eyes:

The rest was just gibberish.

[lumberjack_jeff]

5. Called it. n/t

[dgibby]

6. I used to hang on his every word.

Now when he speaks, all I hear is "Blah, blah, blah."

[deacon]

7. He's losing credibility at breakneck speed now. His presidency is on the line. n/t

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. I don't want to hear that. I want to hear about MEDICARE and SS. nt

[Mudoria]

9. "We suck ass at creating jobs"

[Brickbat]

10. Is this where he announces that jobs won't be a big issue in the 2012 election?

11. How's that trickle-down Ronnie Reagan stuff working for you now, Pres?

That is the question I would ask, if I were a reporter.

[Dept of Beer]

12. If we had a bold president then he wouldn't be afraid to really

kick some ass to get the corporations hiring.

There must be something that a President can do during these times...let's say like an executive order.

No, he is not powerless. He just chooses not to use it in the areas that might have the most impact.

18. We need to open GOVERNMENT factories that will hire folks the corps

are not hiring (here in the U.S., too). They can make the things that the corps aren't making anymore and some new things like wind turbines and solar panels and electric cars, etc. If the corps want to buy the factories they can do it for a fair price if they agree to keep all the employees and the payscale (no CEOs making hundreds of times worker salaries, etc.) Come on America! If the corps are stabbing us in the back we need to deal with them.

[Itchinjim]

13. Same people saying the same shit over and over again.

God I'm getting sick of this place.

[Broderick]

15. touche n/t

[Dawgs]

20. Fine. What did you hear him say that was different from the posts here? n/t

[graywarrior]

14. oouu, I hope he asks the DU advisors what he should do

[theophilus]

16. They won't do any WORSE than the ones he seems to listen to. n/t

[graywarrior]

17. I doubt that

[theophilus]

19. I don't. I have seen some good ideas on DU. I can't recall the last time

I saw a good idea PUT INTO PRACTICE by the Obama Administration dealing with the economy.
