Very Specific
Obama Promises “Very Specific” Jobs And Deficit Plan In September
President Barack Obama announced Monday night that he will put forward a “very specific” plan on job creation and deficit control in September for Congress to act on when they return from the August recess.
“I’ll be putting forward, when they come back in September, a very specific plan to boost the economy, to create jobs, and to control our deficit,” he said at a town hall in Decorah, Iowa. “And if they don’t get it done, then we’ll be running against a Congress that’s not doing anything for the American people, and the choice will be very stark and will be very clear.”

Outliney
Is Obama’s “specific” plan now just an outline?
Last Monday, President Obama made news by promising to give a speech in September detailing, “a very specific plan to boost the economy, to create jobs and to control our deficit.”
But has that “very specific plan” already been downgraded to an outline?
That is, at least, the impression I got watching Obama advisors Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod on yesterday’s Sunday morning shows.
“The president is going to outline a short-term plan to accelerate the economy,” Axelrod said on ABC’s This Week, “in the face of the hits we’ve taken, because of the Arab Spring and oil prices, because of the Japanese earthquake, because of Europe that have slowed down economic growth.
On Meet the Press, Gibbs used similar language, “The president is going to outline some ideas, the president has outlined ideas every day he’s been in the White House.”

Let’s be reasonable!
Obama to offer ‘reasonable ideas’ for job creation
President Obama’s post-Labor Day policy speech on job creation will include “some reasonable ideas that can have a tangible impact,” his spokesman says.
The president has been working with his economic team to formulate proposals that should be able to win bipartisan support, White House deputy spokesman Josh Earnest said on Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday.
Among those proposals could be two that Obama discussed with the leaders of his jobs council: efforts to boost the number of college graduates with engineering degrees and put construction workers to work retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency. The council will hold public forums on those topics Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
And don’t you forget it!
Obama dares Republicans to block his coming jobs package.
After pledging to send a job-creation package to Congress next month and daring Republicans to block it, President Obama offered few specifics Tuesday about the form the plan might take as he stuck to a broad outline of how to improve the economy.
Maybe it won’t be so bad to block an outline.
Or some ideas.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.

In other words, spend more money we don’t have on ideological projects. Which brings me to speculate that IF these are the two best ideas he has then we pretty much know the rest will be the ususal make work programs which already didn’t work to stimulate anything. Notice, the leaked ideas didn’t focus on regulatory relief or telling industry he is going to reign in on the EPA. Typically, leaked points are meant as trial balloons of the best ideas to drum up support before hand. If these are his best ideas, then he has wasted everyone’s time.
BTW- we would have more engineers were it not for the flooding of the universities with foreign students who are pretty much GUARANTEED jobs in the US via HB1 visas. It’s a simple matter of supply and demand and this issue predates Obama and Bush before him. Phyllis Schlafly wrote on this very subject years ago. http://www.eagleforum.org/column/2009/may09/09-05-01.html
@dscott:
I had no idea making students pick a major they don’t like is part of Obama’s jobs plan.
Suits him to a tee, however.
I was reading about the Seattle $20 million spent to ”weatherize” homes.
Only three buildings (NOT HOMES) are done and 14 homes are in the loan-qualifying pipeline after two years.
But hundreds of people went to special school on the taxpayers dime to learn how to weatherize.
None of them has a job!
Maybe these new engineers can figure out how to put wind turbines on rooftops.
So far all of those are failures because of extreme vibration &/or constant irritating loud noise.
LOL!
Very specific jobs plan probably means he is going to create a new federal agency and it will hire 10,000 people…
“Deficit Control” is NOT deficit reduction……stay tuned
Bill hi, yes that is for sure, the 2 antithesis, they are,
I think that the AMERICAN AT THIS POINT AND TIME,
wont believe any of his ideas and his plan will just be talk and no actions,
except what will get done by his UNIONS FRIEND,
THEY WILL GET THE DEAL AND THE REST WILL STAY THE SAME OR GET WORSE,
too bad the scenario is always the same when you don’t trust the leader to have the
ability to put any needed projects working, but only to fix the facade of a house ready to collapse
behind the new doors and windows,
bye
I wish his “new plan’ would be to throw in his hat, admit his [ALL] Liberal Ideology has been a dismal failure….and FINALLY GIVE IN and tell everyone he will give his blessings telling us he will ‘try’ the Conservative route ….open up the free markets so we can [for real this time] as [opposed to artificially via failed stimulus] get the economy rolling again….THAT would be the REALLY SMART kind of PLAN Obama should be putting forward…
Anything else is just a bunch of Obama Campaigning B_LL Sh_Tt!! A straw man!!
