Obama to issue exec orders until jobs bill passes

[jbranstetter04]

The republicans have it hard here. They could go against their better judgment and let the jobs bill pass, thereby winning the election, because they did not "stand in the way" of job creation, or they could hold their ground on principal, and then get blamed by Obama for the high unemployment rate, possibly losing the election. Since they know the "jobs" bill (Obama reelection bill) will only put us further in debt, and do very little for the economy, they should hold their ground.

[BillKiernan]

oh, NOW he's getting tough around election time? what a fucking dog and pony show politics is.

[CalypzoMonstaMuzik]

Mr. President, All you are doing is TRYING to cover up the mess you are actually putting us people in.. Maybe not solely you.. congress of course too. TRYING.. TRYING.. You have fooled some, but not many.

[NormanCameron4U]

Could he issue an order to do away with Congress alltogether? And legalize mj?

[thenewmike2012]

Keep it up, Mr. President, tell the Tea Party owned GOP to kiss your half white, half black ASS and take your plans to help hurting Americans to the people! Your approval rating is climbing, so keep up the great work!

[Kluckad]

Soon he'll be using Executive orders to bail out banks. Goldman-Sachs whore...

[Danuch113ny]

He will issue executive orders to take ALL our rights away eventually....be careful what you wish for people...

[KrazyK923]

@TheTrollTime

My "donors" yup.

No, it's called multiple economics books, a brain, and no ideological-driven agenda.

[2010GOP]

@KrazyK923: An economics book? Whose? The Liberal's go-to guy, Paul Krugman? LOL. The one who said if the stimulus would pass, millions of jobs would be created? Hahaha.

And let's take a look at the economic wizard whose ass you love to lick:

"The stimulus will create a robust economy and millions of shovel-ready jobs" - Obama, 2009

"There is no such thing as a shovel-ready job" - Obama, 2011

How fk'ing stupid are you exactly?

[KrazyK923]

@2010GOP

The best part of this is that I didn't have to do anything to make you look like a fool.

You've done the work yourself.

And no, I'm talking about an Intro econ book, an Advanced econ book, and a major econ book I used during college. As objective as possible.

[lindajust1]

We support you Mr. President!

[KrazyK923]

@TheTrollTime

I love the demonization of Keynes and Keynesian economics. It was a valid alternative to classical economists until Obama supported it?

Just another hypocritical Republitard.

[doughpro]

@KrazyK923 Who ever said that Keynesian economics was a valid alternative?

[KrazyK923]

@doughpro

People who aren't being ideologically driven.

[KrazyK923]

@doughpro

Not to mention the fact that is has worked multiple times in the past.

[doughpro]

Dictator in action. What a loser.

[KrazyK923]

@TheTrollTime

'Clearly making things worse."

Any proof of this, or just more FreedomWorks nonsense?

[TheImpeacher]

Obama can go screw himseelf. More corruption. America rise up and take down the Obama regime.

[shawneepuppy]

tell me exactly what congress is doing ?oh thats right NOTHING

[Senehtsotara]

Excellent work, Mr. President. Job-killing Republican plutocrats in Congress have utterly failed the American people, but we know you are working hard for us.

[thenewmike2012]

This man is a LEADER, the Tea Party/GOP has promised to stand in the Presidents way on EVERY issue in hopes of winning back the White House next year. How selfish, how un-American, how disgusting it is for the TP/GOP to stand in the way of helping Americans that are suffering and a country trying to get back on track, just so they can hope to win the White House next year. The TP/GOP have said PUBLICALLY, they will do NOTHING to help this President. Thats disgusting!

[drudeken]

I don't deny that things need to change, but forcing things based on one guys beliefs is not right. Lets get the right solution, not the first solution. If everyone cared about everyone like everyone is saying they do... neither side would be arguing like this and things would get done. Everyone needs to take a step back and wave to their neighbor. Do you even know your neighbors name? This country has lost its community factor. Career politicians need to go away.

[TheImpeacher]

Is that a threat from the pussie boy. He will rote in hell.

[chukwudiugwumba]

One thing I notice is that it's only illiterates who can't stand Obama. If you doubt me just read what they write. I can now see why the GOP want to kill education because the more illiterate they are, the more they vote the GOP.

[drudeken]

@chukwudiugwumba What an ignorant generalized statement. I am very literate and yet I can't stand Obama. Bypassing congress goes against the United States core. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship.

[KrazyK923]

@drudeken

I guess you don't understand the powers of executive orders based in the constitution.

But...of course it's ok if the Republitards do it, right?

[drudeken]

@KrazyK923 I never stated such. I believe that politicians as a whole are corrupt. Election day has turned into a battle for the lesser of two evils. I believe that career politicians need to go and education paths for them need to go as well. I won't defend a republican, a democrat or an independent if they break the laws of our nation. I will commend them if the do good things. This, even if it was a republican, is not ok. Bypassing the core of our government is an impeachable offense.

[hellraiser6391]

@drudeken

Wrong we live in a two party dictatorship and it doesn't matter who get elected it's only going to get worse.

[independentview1]

"Because Congress does not do everything I want, I have decided to become a Dictator"

[KrazyK923]

@independentview1

Read up the Constitution.

[Viracocha711]

President Obama PLEASE continue traveling & talking to straight to the American People...We will do our part in trying to elect a Congress that will work with you to fix this great country!

[keithcdavis]

go get em, mr. president...

[Mangina9000]

I'm a small business owner (do about 2 million a year in sales). What the GOP is doing to this country is unforgivable. Pass the jobs bill now.

[drudeken]

@Mangina9000 Lies.

[BlackLabelLady]

wow. Monkey? Really? I wonder what your real issue is with this president.... Becuase that's not transparent..... *sigh*

[kookoocachoo29]

What a splendid idea!

[wifibrawler3501]

Why couldn't he have done this in the beginning of his administration? He wasted all on bail-outs and bills not completely read. IDK whether to trust this or not. I'm REALLY iffy.

[turbomango]

DICK-TATER

[TheImpeacher]

For the next year, Obama will do ten times more illegal an corrupt things. Americas worst president ever, even his bimbo wife is pissed at him, ya miss queeney.

[Lumberingoaf75]

@TheImpeacher I always love it when uneducated people, like yourself, talk about the president. I always see the most well constructed arguments.

[TheCrystalmichellewi]

This is the president I voted for. This is the president we need.

[TheImpeacher]

Chavez junior, Obama our master of corruption. The greatest lier in the history of America. You wont jobs, you want the bullshit to stop, you want to have a chance to save your home, and the biggest, do you want to try and save your childrens future. Then we have to stop the Obama regime, we the American people have to destroy his illegal, corrupt machine. Obama has to be run outa town.

[EdisunSolar]

Selection time coming up the monkey has to do something for his carnival circus

[briannaleora]

@skidawg22 I REALLY miss Kathleen, too! *sighs*

[briannaleora]

@skidawg22 I REALLY miss Kathleen in the Governor's office, too! *sighs*

[skidawg22]

I REALLY miss Kathleen in the Governor's office.

[colitas605]

to hell with the republicans-since they refuse to send him bills to fix the problems,and he's president,not king-there are some things he can do as "proclamations from the throne"..........they don't like it?

too f-in bad.

[Wintermute01001]

Mr. President, issue MORE executive orders. Congress has FAILED and is utterly HOPELESS. You have the support of the American people. Don't forget it.

[ppatriot2003]

the do nothing Congress is destroying American lives sitting on their hands. Thank God for Obama!

[Nikademus1969]

Do what you gotta do, you can't let the country go to hell just because some people are idiots.

People need to see that the Republicans do NOT have their interests at heart anymore...all they care about is the corporations that donate to them and themselves.

[Nikademus1969]

Kinda sad that it takes an impending election to get him to start doing this tho.

@Nikademus1969 

[meggied90]

@Nikademus1969 Because y'know, Republicans have been filibustering this job bill since... 2011. I'm sure he could've consulted his precog to know that in advance, or something. Yeah! Screw Obama! He's such a monkey performing for his constituents! Pig!

[2010GOP]

@Nikademus1969: You're a fk'ing idiot. Obama has taken more Wall Street donations than anyone in the last 20 years. Democrats have taken more in the last decade. In addition to:

July 2011, per FEC report: "High-powered lobbyists, including Chevron & Wal-Mart, found loophole to exceed donations. 90% of the money went to Democrats".

Record taxpayer $ to "select" corporations & to the personal pockets of "select" corporate executives.

Democrats love dumbf^cks like you

[KrazyK923]

@2010GOP

And yet they're fighting to raise taxes on millionaires while Republitards are not.

Your point?

[2010GOP]

@KrazyK923: And they're also for keeping 70,000 pages worth of tax codes (i.e. loopholes for smart people who can find them), while most Republicans support a flat tax.

You're not very bright, are you?

[KrazyK923]

@2010GOP

You're not very smart if you think a flat tax is good. Keep pouring money into the hands of the rich.

Maybe their pants will become heavy enough that a pocket will break finally and trickle down actually works?

[2010GOP]

@KrazyK923: LOL ... I don't have time for little brainless punks like you. CLEARLY, you're clueless.  Spend your time more wisely by educating yourself instead of playing on YouTube & debating on topics you know nothing about.

[KrazyK923]

@2010GOP

Yeah you've clearly outmatched me. I am in awe of your power. Flat Taxes have never benefitted anybody except the super rich. Everybody knows this.

[tub73431]

@Nikademus1969 I think you fail to understand that both parties have the banks and coperations in mind before us. Mr. Obama is no different. We are flat out broke and our currency is going down the drain yet he is doing nothing about it. He is not stopping the ridiculous spending we do over 150 bases around the world. He is not stopping bailing out the banks. He gave a solar company 500 billion dollars that went bankrupt within a year.

[Bruce1949919]

Don't have to do anything Obama. Just wait till you are voted out.. You have about a year to go.

[Micky2009ish]

@Bruce1949919 you must be Republican

[Bruce1949919]

@Micky2009ish Yes: But in all actuality I am an American who doesn't want the Country to fall around us. And Obama is setting us up to fail

[Bruce1949919]

This isn't creating jobs???? Is he nuts.

8000 veterans?

[slytherinspy1960]

more than congress has done.....

[PigMine3]

Then the florida pigs will just crackdown on the scripts written, after the people get their drugs, they go to prison.

[Micky2009ish]

@PigMine3 why do you have to call Floridians Pigs? It is not our Fault that SNOWBIRDS from the NORTH voted Rick Scott into Office

[TVRADIOREGGAEFM]

peace

[PATRICIA18469]

WHY DOES THE COMENTATOR KEEP REFERING TO THE PRESIDENT AS "MR. OBBAMA"?

[kfinnguy]

Ahh, the use of the bully pulpit.
