Obama promoted his jobs bill in North Carolina on Wednesday, the third stop on what White House press secretary Jay Carney has called a "campaign" for jobs. Not for the first time, Obama called back to an audience member who shouted "I love you" with "I love you back." On Wednesday he added, "But if you love me you've got to help me pass this bill." The Obama administration isn't holding back in its full-court campaign to pass the American Jobs Act. Obama's speech at North Carolina State University in Raleigh is his third stop, following similar speeches in Virginia and Ohio, and the WhiteHouse.gov website now includes a banner that links to the bill. Obama used a copy of the America's Jobs Act as a prop, as he's done before, holding it up as he assigned "homework" to a crowd composed largely of college students, urging them to contact Congress and push them to pass his bill. "Yes, we can," he said, a return to his 2008 campaign slogan that brought loud cheers from the audience. Obama added, "We can pass this thing but we need Congress to do it." Obama blasted Republicans in Congress, qualifying "not all Republicans; there are some who get it," for resisting supporting the bill because they are afraid of handing a "win" to Obama. "Give me a win? Give me a break," Obama said. "I get fed up with that kind of game playing and we've been seeing it for too long," he said. "We've been grappling with a crisis for three years. Instead of getting people to rise up against bipartisanship in the spirit of working together, we've got people who are purposely dividing."

I have to be honest. I admire his lack of shame. I don't agree with it. But it is so over the top and blatant in your face, that you just have to admire its audacity. It takes a special kind of person to go out with complete confidence and lie to the American people with a straight face. It's truly incredible. I am incapable of telling lies with a straight face, let alone being aggressive and arrogant in doing so. Obama's ability to lie and be in-your-face arrogant about it is just spectacular.
Actually he needs Congress to NOT pass his bill. He is manufacturing a campaign issue. There would be jobs for all and a chicken in every pot, but those bad guys won't pass the bill.
Is this ... stink up the room --- point the finger ! I hate to ... gloat so bad --- beating up on you losers ! Replies to Comment # 31. There are no replies to Comment # 31. Reminds me of clinton ! Create a scandal - pull down the country - republicans !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons are for girlie boys !
This is stink up the room:
Good grief! Admiring scum-bag, shameless, political criminal frauds for being shameless, scum-bag, political criminal frauds has got to be one of the primary reasons we are now governed by this disgusting human tripe. That is the stupidest sh!t I have ever heard from you.
I think that it's okay to recognize the skills of a criminal without condoning how the criminal uses those skills.
I guess I am just old. Criminal skills are not to be admired.
I heard this and thought of Oral Roberts asking for money lest 'God calls me home' rotflmao. This Cult of Personality gets fired in a little bit over a year.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
You're lucky that you only have to type...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
And then what Boofer? WHAT is the GOP's plan? Tax cuts? Obama has cut taxes. The GOP calls them "bribes". Jawboning the Fed into tighteneing interest rates? Wheres' the going to get us? Cutting spending? The CBO says that will remove over a pioint in growth. WHAT is the GOP's plan NOW and then?

Like Ted Bundy or John wayne Gacy?
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
No, they killed people. Obama is a just a big liar. And you are missing the point. The post was sarcastic.
Maybe mine was, too.

There is blame the unemployed for their unemployment, and let the free market off the leash.

BUMP. Waiting for the Master Party apologists to answer...
