To read some of your posts, it would appear that the consistent, private sector job growth our country is experiencing would be lost on you. Sure we're not growing by leaps and bounds, but we are going in a positive, in the right direction.
Ok, minus the Healthcare Reform Act as it stands written today....

I did a Google search for the bipartisan job creation "thingamajig" and couldn't find it. Not saying it's not out there, but I couldn't find it.
Private job growth is in the positive, sure, but that has nothing to do with the content of the article. People getting on lifeboats was a positive occurrence, but the Titanic still went to the bottom of the sea.
This president predicted high energy costs were necessary in order to convert us to alternative energy sources. He talked about bankrupting coal burning power plants. His Energy Secy stated that high gas prices would be a good thing and that we needed European equivalent prices. His Interior Secy said even if gas prices were $10 per gallon he still wouldn't open public lands for drilling. Yet this admin speaks of alternative energy as if it were viably possible to convert the world's largest economy to solar and wind. Companies propped by hundreds of millions of taxpayer $ have gone belly up, and yet BO keeps pushing this agenda.
This president consistently promotes taxing the wealthy as a fairness issue, yet he has no plan to cut government spending. His proposed budget was so bad it was defeated in the House 414-0. He couldn't even get one Democrat to vote for it. The plan for paying off the debt doesn't exist. His projected spending plans show no effort to address deficits.
This president is consistently anti-business. The private sector is reticent to hire, invest and expand because this president does very little to give them confidence. This economy will not turn the corner without private businesses generating the recovery.
This president assembled a blue ribbon bipartisan commission to offer solutions to the massive debt problem. Bowles-Simpson offered balanced, well thought out answers to some very complex issues that both parties extolled. President Obama hasn't acted upon a single proposal.
We are headed toward financial disaster like this country has never seen and Obama supporters seem to ignore the obvious: our president either lacks the will or the know-how to take bold, decisive actions to put us on the path to economic viability. He doesn't have a business mind, he possesses an academic, ideological, theoretical approach to economics. Obama has no real world experience with how jobs are created and it shows.
