Wow, two and a half years in office and the only thing Broke Obama can come up with is telling businesses to hire? Un-friggin-believeable.

Mick_BNE | May 12, 2011 08:28 AM ET

That's a difference between the Senator and a Governor. Congress don't have direct governing experience. All they know is how to increase bureaucratic system.

GCardwell | May 12, 2011 08:28 AM ET

Does Mr. Obama really think businesses are going to hire people they don't need? Where is he coming from?

beachbum40 | May 12, 2011 08:30 AM ET

Stop wasting our money and giving handouts to your "supporters" and our enemies! Then we'll hire.

Larry3 | May 12, 2011 08:31 AM ET

Obamaone is right, it's only right that industry spend, spend, spend stupidly like our guv'ment in DC. Why should American companies run their businesses like Americans when they can do like Obamaone and act unAmerican!!!

DJSMPS | May 12, 2011 08:44 AM ET

Does Obama ever stay in his office and do work? Or is his reign just an endless campaign to be re-elected?

alchemymike | May 12, 2011 08:45 AM ET

Our king Obama has spoken-

Hire people for your shrinking business so they can be let go and put on unemployment

Obama is a JOKE and a FOOL

marnold200 | May 12, 2011 08:46 AM ET

Obama needs to go back to Harvard and take economics 101. What a numskull. Obama likes high oil prices, doesn't mind the housing market and loves spending the Government credit card.

HarryO123 | May 12, 2011 08:48 AM ET

This empty rhetoric surprises no one who believes the only thing he's ever done is intimidate thru community organizing. This guys name is going to go down in real history as just being filler for slow news days, you see it so much it's actually become ugly.

What a waste of a presidency....

rlstocker | May 12, 2011 08:48 AM ET

We'll hire when we need help, but thanks for your input Mr President.

Report Abuse

goinpostalmarcus | May 12, 2011 08:49 AM ET

He is a moron. As a business owner I have a couple of dozen employees. Employees get hired when there is more work to do and more money to make. There is a thing called a payroll budget. I can't print money to hire as many people as I feel like having around, there has to be a real reason. He doesn't understand that as he has no idea what the economy actually is outside of a socialist text book.

davebuc | May 12, 2011 08:53 AM ET

King Obumma has spoken. All those evil companies are not hiring becuase????? It can't be because they want to make that evil thing called money!! Could it be our Anti-American, Anti-business President policies are working like they are supposed to???

Nah. Businesses are going to hire people so they can lose money and pay taxes to King Obie so he can give it to people who don't work!! He is truly an egomaniac who is so far over his head, it is pathetic Report Abuse

imagine | May 12, 2011 08:53 AM ET

companys tell obama once he is removed from office they will start hiring!!

sirandrew | May 12, 2011 08:56 AM ET

Some one should tell this empty suit that in the private sector you only add to your work force when increased sales require it,.

They should also inform him that while the Government can print money to hire more bureaucrats ,They did not supply the public sector with the same printing press.

dsmst | May 12, 2011 09:00 AM ET

This is easy for a shakedown artist to say since he has never so much as run a lemonade stand. Obama is unbelievably arrogant.

TxnByBrth | May 12, 2011 09:05 AM ET

Once again this "Pretender" President is talking about something about which he knows nothing. Now...if community organizing was a viable industry, he could speak with authority and knowledge to those community organizations about stepping up and hiring 'mo folks. I can't believe, even though I admit, we were so stupid as a whole to elect this empty suit. This is truly a case where ignorance and intellectual arrogance combine resulting in a dangerous person for the country...

FrankCotton | May 12, 2011 09:06 AM ET

"Obama urged businesses to "step up" and hire workers." Hey, thanks for that.....you absolute waste of freakin' oxygen...

DougMoll | May 12, 2011 09:12 AM ET

Does the Idiot in Chief STILL not realize that Companies do NOT answer to him? They answer to their shareholders. Does he STILL not realize that the reason that Companies are not hiring is the uncertainty that HE has created with his regulatory overreach. In the words of John Galt - "Get the hell out of my way".

Bongos | May 12, 2011 09:19 AM ET

Spoken like a true communist. He must be a closet creationist because he seems to think you can just speak things into existence.

This is irrational thought melded with militant fantasy, a dangerous combination that many Americans are beginning to recognize. One would have thought this beast to have gone extinct a hundred years ago. It is a pseudo-religious philosophy that is in a permanent cul-de-sac. Time to put it out of its misery.

stopthecorruption | May 12, 2011 09:23 AM ET

Pot, meet kettle.

What a racket this clown is. His policies are destroying jobs and growth and he

scottm1207 | May 12, 2011 09:24 AM ET

When you have the most ignorant president and political party in history, these are the types of comments you get from him, his administration and the idiots who believe the fairy tales they do.

fsk46 | May 12, 2011 09:24 AM ET

Brilliant. This guy is Ivy League material? The messiah has spoken... hire you evil companies! Save my ass cause I have no idea what to do. This is one of, if not the most, ridiculous statement I have heard from his lips yet. Utter incompetence.

NoLongerConfused | May 12, 2011 09:27 AM ET

This statement just magnifies Obama's total lack of understanding business or how it works. Businesses hire when they have more demand for their product or service--NOT because some uber leftist radical in the White House thinks it is the "right thing to do."

No wonder the economy hasn't recovered, he doesn't have a clue as to what to do. So, instead, he focuses on other, far less important issues--like Obmacare, and amnesty for illegals.

The sooner we get this wrecking ball out of the White House, the faster we can salvage what is left of our country.

student1776 | May 12, 2011 09:29 AM ET

Is it possible to be more stupid. Businesses, unlike government, hire people when there is actual work to do. Obama has crushed demand by massive federal borrowing taking up all the credit, massive tax raises, increased regulation and litigation, and the EPA illegally enforcing carbon restrictions - like shackling a man's legs together than telling him he should spring. Obama's policies are producing stagnation and will soon produce stagflation. I wonder how many fools will buy in when he points fingers at "speculators" or other scapegoats as inflation kicks in when he is the real cause by spending trillions of unbacked dollars hot off the printing presses.

student1776 | May 12, 2011 09:31 AM ET

Marxist economics have always produced stagnation followed by stagflation followed by famine. Always will. Obama is a Marxist. We are now three years into the stagnation and starting on the stagflation. Grim times ahead.

thinkaboutit | May 12, 2011 09:33 AM ET

Change the tax policies. Change the environmental oversite. Become more business friendly. You know all the major corporations are beholden to the shareholders, they have to make money for the shareholders and they will go to where it is most beneficial to the shareholders. BUT, if major corporations do not bring some of the jobs home, there won't be any money from the people to buy their goods or services. So it's a chicken and egg thing. We are the country thast buys the most stuff, but if there are not jobs to support us buy stuff, then the companies will fail. Or they will move out completely and we will become a 3rd world country and the only people making any money will be those on Wall Street. Just think how many jobs would be created if we just opened up all the energy exploration and recovery in this country. Energy is the industry for this century and if we don't take advantage of it we will be left in the dust.

The comments are priceless:

Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??

Companies, as a rule, know when they have a space open and need to hire people and don't need an empty-suit media fiction to do so.

war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.

Somebody should explain to President Homie that people in business can only hire more employees when these employees are needed due to increased sales or contracts.

Erkel has never had an actual job his entire life unless you consider selling weed for Frank Marshall Davis a job,so he thinks private enterprise works like the government works,and can just pull money off trees to pay people that aren't needed to work jobs that aren't there.

Thats why he's lost over half of his support among Independents and hispanics. Hell, he's even losing some support among Blacks, then again a 45% unemployment rate for blacks under age 25 will do that.
