Obama Asks For Patience On Jobs, Then Hits The Links

Written By : William Teach

So, how did Obama’s Saturday go, as his approval rating dropped below 50%?

President Barack Obama on Saturday urged Americans to show patience over the economy and argued that his just-concluded Asia trip was critical for U.S. exports, countering criticism he had returned empty-handed.

With unemployment at a generation high of 10.2 percent and once-lofty popularity ratings down, Obama said a December White House forum will leave no stone unturned in the hunt for jobs.

“Even though it will take time, I can promise you this: we are moving in the right direction; that the steps we are taking are helping,” Obama said in his weekly address, amid signs that the public is getting impatient for results.

Got that, folks? He’s working his tail off, doing everything necessary. Yeah, about that, Lynn Sweet reports (and appears to be the only one doing so)

Your pooler has been informed that POTUS golfed at Andrews with trip director Marvin Nicholson, legislative affairs staffer Eugene Kang and campaign photographer David Katz.

Being president is a tough job, and everyone needs some down time, but, being president is a tough job, and a lot is required. He campaigned for the job (after lying about not running until his first term as a Senator was completed,) but he seems to want all the trappings of being president, but, not the responsibilities.

Don’t forget, he said that the Generational Theft Act needed to be passed RIGHT NOW back in February, without debate, saying things like

“I believe that legislation of this enormous magnitude, that by necessity we are moving quickly — we’re not moving quickly because we’re trying to jamb something down people’s throats. We’re moving quickly because we’re told that if we don’t move quickly, that the economy is going keep on getting worse, and we’ll have another 2 or 3 or 4 million jobs loss this year.”

Yet, while the economy looks to be recovering, for the moment, and let’s hope we do not see a doubly dip, private sector jobs are still not there. What jobs are supposedly being created are mostly government jobs, and temporary ones, at that.

Of course, on the flip side, the more time he spends doing other things, the less time he has to damage the United States as we know it.

In a way I sympathise with President Obama in a way, because even if he’d done the right thing (like President Reagan did) to address the economy and cheer the American people, it would be slow to take effect. The problem is, he didn’t do the right thing, and the temporary raise in growth we’re experiencing right now is driven primarily by government jobs and spending, not by genuine economic growth, and employers know this.

A friend of mine said it best: Obama wants all of the perks of the Oval Office, but he seems less than happy to deal with the responsibilities and consequences.

Just think of all the jobs he is saving/creating at the golf courses.

What do you expect him to do? Obamateur has absolutely no idea how to invent jobs, initiate good economic policy, and really could care less about the common people in this country. He is above his paygrade by his own admission.

Hope and change bitches, here it comes.

I think you are wrong Nixon. Obama sits in his central planning committee meetings and they state how much wheat is to be produced to feed the masses and once the orders are written, he is free to enjoy a few rounds of golf.

ANd if those numbers should prove wrong, they just adjust them upward for next year to show the progress of the parties planning on meeting the needs of the people.
