O'Malley Speaks Out On Last Night

Last night President Obama laid out clear, specific actions we can take right now to create jobs and grow our economy in Maryland and across the country.
Whether it's rebuilding schools and bridges, cutting payroll taxes for small businesses and middle-class families, or providing skills training for our workforce, these proposals will help speed the jobs recovery and preserve opportunity for all.

President Obama's commonsense, non-partisan plan is a smart, balanced approach that will move us forward to better days and to a brighter future for our children. But already, the Tea Party extremists are threatening to kill the proposal.  

In Maryland, we've chosen to invest in our future with record funding for our schools and by making college more affordable. We passed the job creation and recovery tax credit - similar to the one President Obama announced last night -- that put thousands of moms and dads back to work and we modernized our port creating 3,000 construction jobs and 2,700 permanent jobs. 
These jobs proposals should not be politically controversial. In fact, many are based on things that we know are already working in our states. The more Congress delays, the more people will remain without jobs and the greater risk we run of another economic downturn.
That’s why we need to send a message to Tea Party extremists right now, before the right wing disinformation machine can kick into full gear and doom the plan’s chances of succeeding.

We can create jobs, retire the Bush deficit, and build a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.

Blah, blah, blah. O'Malley's head is so far up Obama's ass he wears his sphincter muscle as a neck tie.

What proposal? What bill? What budget? The more this administration delays, the more people will remain without jobs.This administration told us about a transparency in government like we have never seen. All bills that were proposed were to be on the internet for all to read. It's been almost 3 years and I'm still waiting for the first one.
