Maybe he will get adopted by some Third World Country before he turns this Republic into Zimbabwe. Spend what you have left in the Stimulus Budget before you ask the Chinese to pay more.
I can't understand this guy. He spends (and wastes) money faster than a crackhead with a stolen debit card.
In a Labor Day speech in Milwaukee that sounded more like a campaign stump speech than a holiday greeting, President Barack Obama delivered a message that was the political equivalent of "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
Kicking off what has traditionally been considered the official fall campaign season,
Obama said:"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time, they're not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks, but it's true."
In the midst of the speech, the president said he was proposing a $50-billion program to jump-start job creation and to rebuild the crumbling infrastructure of the United States. The plan includes the rebuilding of 150,000 miles of road, 4,000 miles of railroad tracks and 150 miles of runways.
"I want America to have the best infrastructure in the world," Obama said. "We used to have the best infrastructure. We can make it happen again."
He is also proposing an "infrastructure bank," which a statement from the White House said "would leverage private and state and local capital to invest in projects that are most critical to our economic progress."
"This marks an important departure from the federal government's traditional way of spending on infrastructure through earmarks and formula-based grants that are allocated more by geography and politics than demonstrated value," the statement said. "Instead, the bank will base its investment decisions on clear analytical measures of performance, competing projects against each other to determine which will produce the greatest return for American taxpayers."
The bulk of Obama's speech was focused on taking on Republicans and their criticism of the Obama administration. He mentioned Wall Street reform, health care reform and the overhaul of the student loan programs, adding this about the GOP: "They're not happy with it, but it was the right thing to do."
Obama described the U.S. economy as a car that had been driven into a ditch by Republicans during the administration of George W. Bush. The president said working people had struggled to pull the car out of the ditch, only to have the Republicans ask for the keys back. "I don't want to give them the keys back," Obama said. "They don't know how to drive."
