Where are the jobs, Mr Boehner??
Now that we know you can tweet, like you did this last week during President Obama's first ever tweet town hall meeting, what are you doing to create jobs?

We're waiting for YOU to come through on YOUR campaign promises of last year.
Remember?
When last year, you said the 2010 mid-term elections were about jobs?
Remember that?

Well, where are they??

1. Boner's Holy Moran Job Creators aren't creating any jobs - they are sending them oversewas
and all their ill-gotten $$$$ is invested in Holy Moran Hedge Funds that speculate in food, oil and essential commodities

that steal money from Americans who make minimum wage and have no health care

yup

Obama in 2008.

6. Obama did get an infrastructure bill passed, Mr ******. The GOP govs turned those projects down.
Or did you conveniently somehow forget that?

The Democrats in Congress passed a big infrastructure bill in 2009 that the Republicans in the House tried to pare down, and the Republicans in the Senate filibustered for awhile, yet after it was passed, Obama signed it into law.

Then several racist scumbag GOP governors turned down the money for those projects.

Keith Olbermann talked about it on his program.
Rachel Maddow talked about it on her program.
Ed Schultz talked about it on his program.
Chris Matthews talked about it on his program.
Lawrence O'Donnell talked about it on his program.
Cenk Uygur talked about it on his program.
Dylan Ratigan talked about it on his program.

And we talked about it here at the DU forum.
And they talked about it at the KOS blog.
For days, for weeks.

About how all the redneck, racist Governors of Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Mississippi, Indiana, New Jersey -- how all those governors turned down infrastructure money that was passed by the Congress of the federal government that would help create those jobs in the United States.

8. "Hope and Change" translates into "Strings and Mirrors". And yet, the candidate
Edited on Sun Jul-10-11 10:02 AM by Obamanaut
promised two million jobs, he got elected, and there are no jobs.

Spin away, justify as you will, the fact remains, THE JOBS NEVER CAME, now did they Mr ******.

Oh, and GITMO isn't closed yet, either.

12. President Obama is no longer just a candidate. He is the President of the United States of America.
Yet, that fact drives you to tears.

Closing GITMO was blocked by the Republicans, too.
But, then you knew that, didn't you?

Com' on, Mr ******, what else you got?

DADT is dead.
Lt Col. Victor Fehrenbach has 30 more duty days to put in until he retires.
He was on Rachel Maddow's program on Thursday night.

Try to spin that one, sonny!

Edited on Sun Jul-10-11 01:29 PM by Obamanaut
"And this time I mean it."

One makes all sorts of promises, and then when they don't happen, the sycophants and myrmidons will exclaim "It's all their fault. They stopped it."

And then they say "He tried."

You must watch a lot of teevee to have all these teevee references at your fingertip.

Here are a couple for you Mr ******. I especially liked the promise about repeal of Bush tax cuts

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-broken/

Increase the capital gains and dividends taxes for higher-income taxpayers

Expand the child and dependent care credit

Create a foreclosure prevention fund for homeowners

End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000

End no-bid contracts above $25,000

Repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher incomes

Phase out exemptions and deductions for higher earners


This is just part of page 1, and there are more pages.

16. I sure will. I'm going to help get President Obama re-elected. I start next month.
And when he gets re-elected next year, then you can tell us a brazillion times that he should not have been re-elected.

19. Good for you. It is important to have a hobby. But, you have failed to explain away
those pages of failed promises.

I especially liked the one about repealing the tax cuts. That was popular around here for awhile. Isn't it true that the bill had to be signed by ....

21. Here are a few more things promised by Candidate Obama not forthcoming
Edited on Sun Jul-10-11 05:23 PM by Obamanaut
by President Obama. Are these two guys not talking to one another?

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-broken/


Allow five days of public comment before signing bills

Tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials

Reduce earmarks to 1994 levels

Require plug-in fleet at the White House

No family making less than $250,000 will see "any form of tax increase."
<snip>But Obama's campaign rhetoric took him beyond just income taxes. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes," Obama said. It's that "not any of your taxes" that is the sticking point.
<more at the link provided>


There are still more. Did you like that part about “…not any of your taxes…”, I did. And how about those earmarks. They just keep on coming, don‘t they..

20. Are these little deflections like 'whistling past the graveyard' so you don't
don't have to face the litany of failed promises?

If that's what it takes to make it through a disappointment filled day, more power to you.

25. I'm sure Jimmy Carter still had his small group of followers half way through
his first, or was it last, term as well.

Clinging to your faith. That's a good thing.

Like it was soooooo long ago.

4. They can't create jobs, thus the budget war going on.
He'll tell you they don't have the money and that the people who create the jobs pay too much taxes. Jesus! Haven't you been paying attention?!

5. On the off chance he may take credit for any current job growth that has nothing to do with "R"'....
...I personally would love to see a list of programs, bills etc implemented that will work towards that elusive job growth promise.

7. Obama should ask the Orange Man this question today in their meeting.
Right in the middle of the conversation about the budget, and where the cuts should be made, President Obama should pause, ask this question of Boehner, and then reach down for his glass of water and take a drink.

And then watch Boehner stammer like the stuttering, mumbling fuck that he is.

11. He's Only Concerned About One Job...
His own...and defeating President Obama at all costs...and if that includes sinking the U.S. economy, c'est la vie.

The rushbpublicans are in the process of revising history with the assistance of the corporate media. To them all this economic calamity occured since January 20, 2009. It's all Obama's fault and the worse things get the more they can blame him for their own political gain. It was part of a winning strategy last year that helped them retake the House and Boner knows that if the teabaggers bolt his leadership is in peril.

The worse the econom is next year, the more they can blame President Obama and muddy the waters of their own fiscal corruption. They know that people vote against their own best interests when you can whip up anger. They are there to protect the rich...the ones who pay for their campaigns and select them to their boards or as "consultants" when they retire. The working class can go hang.
