95,000 jobs a month, huh?

    Who needs a laugh...?

    Some highlights...
    The Council of Economic Advisers also trumpeted the $787 billion economic stimulus package, which it said has saved or created about 2 million jobs.
    Still using that "saved or created" phrase? Really?
    the White House team cast blame on their predecessors and unpopular Wall Street bankers.
    Blame, Blame, Blame, oh and class warfare. Should have used the word "fatcat" when referring to bankers though...amatuers.
    even adding an average of 95,000 jobs each month, unemployment is likely to remain around 10 percent through this year and not fall below 6 percent until 2015.
    So the stimulus (which had to be passed RIGHT NOW!!!) that would prevent the unemployment from rising above 8% was pretty much worthless then?

    I think articles like these are stupid and I am a Conservative who strongly dislikes Obama and his policies but I think there is a little too much sensationalism going on.

    First, thinking that Al Qaeda who like it or not is a small group of Muslims who are extremists are going to enslave the West and take over the world?? The world was much smaller back then and no Muslim group or country has enough manpower or firepower to take over countries and destroy the rest of the world. It will continue to be terrorists attacks acted out by one or a small group of people .

    Second, this whole communism thing is getting old. Does anyone really think that people of the United States would let this happen or that the vast majority of the US Government would let this happen? Are they maybe trying to move a bit closer to Socialism? Probably, but they are by no means trying to go to communism.

    The Birth Certificate thing has to go, nothing is ever going to come of it and to keep harping on it just makes people look ignorant.

    If we really want things to change in America we need to battle with ideas and actions, not with stupid tabloid sleaze.

    So in closing, Muslims are not going to take over America because he is President, We are not going to turn into Commies, and the world will not end.

    This.

    The birther stuff holds no water with me, and lessens the overall debate. His policies stink...and one need look no further than that.

    Michael Wiener (Savage) preaches all of those things as Gospel. Plenty of folk that believe these things. All of these things.

    Other than presenting a more popular diplomacy policy around the world, Obama has done exactly what McCain would have done.

    Everything else...from wanking on the banksters on Wall Street, escalating ME wars...placing sanctions on the Iranian people, huge deficit spending, signing in pork spending, bailing out conglomerates...

    Health care reform would still be bantered about...with each party claiming their idea is better.

    O=W. Nothing is different, really.

    John Mccain killed a bunch of American soldiers in Vietnam in exchange for preferential treatment by his captors, that's the only way he lasted so long.

    ^^^ See? Anyone can make shit up.

    Jobs - Small business help….what a joke

    Note: I’m venting I would go to the range and fire off a few hundred rows to release this pissed off feeling ….but that would take to much time in my day.

    I have been working with the local office of SBA, Development Board, Congressmen, Mayor, County and State Political Personal, Planning Board of Directors and the list could go on, for over nine months. I have had business plan prepared, presentation and power point graphs, lunch meeting and have had many of those on the list above visit the location for a tour and demo presentation of the product. Proven that the jobs created are not jobs that can be farmed out and have proof of sales of the high profit of the product. Hell! I have gone as far as providing information of this product as “Green Jobs” (Note: hated every minute of that presentation …but gave them what they wanted. Very convincing stretch if I do say so myself). Many agreed that the product does fall within the energy field of Green Technology. The opportunity that my company presents to the local community and to the creation of jobs has been well received by those that have visited or taken the time to sit down and review my proposal.
    What do I hear? Political officials …. hands are tied no money, finger pointing between government and banking, between them nobody has any idea what to do, or where to go within the reframe work of this administration, the confidence level of government officials and lenders are at an all time low. No one has the answers, and no one wants to step up to do anything …pissing contest of cowards.

    Real world: If Obama present a Small Business Plan to Congress today between the Congress and the Senate that Plan would not see approval until October 2010. Then the logistic of where, how, who and banking procedures issue, those funding will not see daylight till Dec/ Jan 2011. Those firms and companies that receive the funding will not be able to do or create employment for a few months to a year. What we are looking at ………..April/May 2011 or more before any employment from Small Businesses. If Small Business are still around. …. And that’s Obama Plan to act like he doing something but in reality nothing.

    Heard 95,000 job created for the next month and months to after …does that include the 1 million Census part employment?

    This 95,000 is another joke on the American people……

    Hope (snow ball change in hell) Change (none in your pocket now and nothing coming soon) Future (if you’re unemployed now good luck if you’re not you will be).

    What do I do ……… move forward and keep moving forward that what I do best, operate thin to get this off the ground, look for investors, put as much pressure on those worthless individuals list above and expose the short fall of their efforts.

    Sorry just venting …really pissed off today.

    Everyday is a day lost, money wasted and potential jobs and business opportunities pissed up a rope.
    I should mention that not all that I have been in contact with are worthless pieces of talking suit crap.
    Some are very concerned, helpful and willing to go that extra to get something accomplished if they had additional corporation from others and resources.
