President Barack Obama's Job Speech - Sept. 8 2011 Part 3/3

Confronting an economy in peril, President Barack Obama unveiled a $450 billion plan Thursday night to boost jobs and put cash in the pockets of dispirited Americans, challenging Republican skeptics to embrace an approach heavy on the tax cuts they traditionally love. With millions of voters watching and ever skeptical of Washington, Obama told Congress, "Let's meet the moment."

The newest and boldest element of Obama's plan would slash the Social Security payroll tax both for tens of millions of workers and for employers, too. For individuals, that tax has been shaved from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent for this year but is to go back up again without action by Congress. Obama wants to keep it and deepen the cut to 3.1 percent for workers.

Isn't it funny. While the Republicans are busy Obama hating at republican debates it seems that Obama is actually trying to solve problems and inspiring people. If only this bill had a snowball's chance in hell of passing congress.

Lets'' create jobs for America....in America...for Americans. Our homeland needs to be the focus.  We haven't changed a thing abroad...We've only inherited foreign problems and issues.

@Myownlittleunivers Let's face the facts. He doesn't know what he's doing. He could be in office for 20 years and he wouldn't have the confidence of the Citizens. Once a President lose this he is done for. He should resign and go off to Chicago with his wonderful wasteful wife Michelle. Good Bye!!

@Bruce1949919 Dude... hes barely even been in office. It took Bush years to fuck this country up and you want obama to fix it in several months? everything has to run through certain people before its approved. If he is trying to help it will take time. a lot of it.
