Combative Obama Pushes New Jobs Bill

President urges tax cuts for businesses, defends bailouts at Ohio town hall

ELYRIA, Ohio
- A combative President Barack Obama exhorted Congress Friday to pass a new job-creation bill, taking a populist appeal to America's recession-racked Rust Belt in an effort to recapture the excitement of his campaign.

Obama weaved us-against-them rhetoric into his appearances, telling a town hall audience that he "will never stop fighting" for an economy that works the hard-working, not just those already well off.

He said a jobs bill emerging in Congress must include tax breaks for small business hiring and for people trying to make their homes more energy efficient — two proposals he wasn't able to get into a bill the House passed last month. And he used the word "fight" or some variation of it over a dozen times. The House-passed $174 billion stimulus package faces a stern test in the Senate, in part because it is financed with deficit spending.

That's right Obama, keep suckering Americans into spending everything they have left and call it tax breaks and brainwash less fortunate Americans into believing they can actually afford better energy efficient homes.

When there's no money left, then Americans will be totally dependent on their government.

This American isn't a fool.

Obama has saved nothing except his butt , and that is on the way out.

Not only is he giving all the money away he is giving it to all of the wrong people. As long as people are stuck in their homes that they owe more on than the current market price this market is going to be dead. There isn't many home owners that can take a 30K loss to buy a new home.

Okay...I'm all over this one. I just read today that the President and his cabinet are fighting with the auto worker's union because they are trying to help GM restructure and set up it's manufacturing centers in China, resulting in the loss of 29,000 American jobs!Plus the Dow is down another 120 points nearly wiping out all recent gains. PROPAGANDA alert!

As a Bush backer you never, ever, ever have the right to talk about impeaching a president!

What has he done to make us less dependent on foreign oil. Absolutely nothing! That was all
lies as well during his campaign.
Energy exporation would create thousands of jobs!

Same message different words one year ago.
Same delivery different words one year ago.
Same propaganda different words.
I still see no progress in correcting America's problems.
I will see no progress in this change of wording either.
We are not dumb, illiterate, stupid or whatever the Liberal Progressives think.

Breaking our government is his way of making us more vulnerable to the terrorists, this guy needs to be watched like a hawk.

By the way, is anyone 100% positive he's even an American citizen yet?? I know libs lose their mind when they hear that question but in their own tiny minds they must wonder too.
