Stand with the President, join this fight now:

This fight goes on.

Senate Republicans have blocked a critical jobs bill that would put Americans back to work right now.

But President Obama isn't taking no for an answer from Congress on jobs. Watch a video message from him, laying out what's next in this fight—then say you'll stand with him as we continue to fight for jobs.

"Hello everybody, right now there's nothing more important than getting the economy moving and putting Americans back to work. That's why I sent Congress the American Jobs Act, a bill that independent economists have said would grow the economy and lead to nearly two million jobs over the next few years. Last night a majority of United States Senators voted to advance this jobs bill. But even though the American Jobs Act contains the kind of proposals Republicans have supported in the past their party used Senate maneuvers to block this jobs bill from moving forward.

They said no to more jobs for teachers, no to more jobs for cops and firefighters, no to more jobs for construction workers and veterans, no to tax cuts for small business owners and middle class Americans. Now a lot of folks in Washington and the media will look at last night's vote and say, "Well that's it, the bill is dead. Let's move on to the next fight." I've got news for them: not this time.

Not with so many Americans out of work not with so many families struggling to get ahead. I will not take "no" for an answer and I hope you won't either.

This fight will go on. In the coming days we will force members of Congress to vote on the individual proposals in the American Jobs Act. They'll have a chance to vote on whether they believe we should keep teachers out of work or whether we should put them back in the classroom where they belong. They'll get to vote on whether they believe construction workers should stay unemployed while our roads and bridges fall apart. Or whether we should put these men and women back to work rebuilding America.

They'll be forced to decide whether we should cut taxes for middle class Americans or let them go up next year. In fact that's exactly what one of the leading Republican Presidential candidates suggested we do during last night's debate: allow taxes to rise by up to a thousand dollars next year for struggling middle class families. That's not how you build an economy where middle class families can get ahead. That's not how we put people to work. And we don't have to except that future. I certainly won't.

Last night I had a chance to sit down and have a beer with some construction workers in Orlando, Florida. These are the people this fight is about: proud Americans who want the chance to work hard and get ahead. There are construction projects all across this country that they could be working on right now. The only thing standing in their way is this Congress. We can change this. We have to change this but it's up to you.

Already so many of you have done so much to fight for this jobs bill, and I want to thank you for that. But now we need to push even harder. It's your voice that will make a difference to those Senators and Congressmen. You're their boss and only you can make them do their jobs. So if you want action on jobs make yourself heard: make a call, write a letter, send an email --just don't give up. After all we're Americans and we don't quit. We stand up for what we believe in and we get through the tough times together.

With your help we can do that right now. We can put people back to work. Give this economy the jolt that it needs and start building an America with a growing, thriving middle class. So let's get busy. Thanks." (weniger Infos)

Bwaaahahahahaha! This has GOT to be a fucking JOKE! FUCK YOU OBAMA!

@onstageagainYup, I agree with you. Obama is pretty pathetic, but he is a good speaker and BSer and there are a lot of idiots out there that will vote for him. Everyone has to work together to get him out of office. Even to the rich businessmen and stockbrokers... 'Obama is bad for business.'

[onstageagain]

@CHTWillCome723 I lie, cheat, steal, attempt to install socialism in a once free society, lavish my cronies with riches, and try to cover it all up...but I don't bluff...Did he say this with a telepromptor? I don't bluff" BWAAHAHAHAHAH! C'mon, does he think they believe that? Go ask for our drone back again, then apologize for sounding rude, or offending their culture or something.

Nothing speaks as forcefully as having your speach being canned...

@CHTWillCome723 Every thing Obama does has to do with the Nov election. He knows how to run for office, to bad he does not know how to Lead. I think we should give him a Chevy Volt & send him back to Chicago !

You may scoff at the Tooth Fairy if you like. But the Tooth Fairy's approach has gotten more politicians elected than any economist's analysis...

@smokingjerky1 Bad stupid, gutless policies have real consequences ! Politicians cannot create jobs or wealth. Such is axiomatic to straight thinkers. These liars , believe in one thing ... winning elections. They'll say anything to get in office & stay there !

[smokingjerky1]

@77internationalscout THE ONLY REASON HE GOT TO BE PRESIDENT IS THAT EVERY NIGGER NATIONWIDE WENT OUT TO VOTE FOR THE FIRST FUCKING TIME IN THERE LIVES THEN THEY WENT BACK HOME TO THERE CRIBS TO SMOKE A BOWL OF CRACK

[CHTWillCome723]

@smokingjerky1 I dont think he has much of a chance to get re-elected. But who knows. There are a lot of dumb and ignorant people in America these days.
