With stocks plunging on Wall Street, tensions were rising in today’s White House press briefing as ABC’s Jake Tapper relentlessly demanded Press Secretary Jay Carney explain exactly what it is that President Obama is doing to help create new jobs. When Carney suggested Obama is urging Congress to pass legislation, Tapper got agitated and responded, “so the same stuff he was doing a couple months ago, calling on Congress to pass things?”
Critics of Obama will no doubt applaud Tapper’s efforts here, yet even supporters of the President can’t fault Tapper for forcefully demanding answers. Some of Tapper’s remarks that left Carney a bit uncomfortable:
“Well, what is the president doing? We know that he went to . . . fundraisers last night. What is he doing today? . . . [He stood up there and told] Congress about all the stuff that needs to be done to help create jobs and that needs to take place and then he flew off to Chicago. . . . Has he called Mitch McConnell? Has he called John Boehner? . . . Other than calling on Congress to pass things you’ve been calling on Congress to pass for months, what is he doing to help the economy?”
Carney tried his best to explain that Obama has many meetings scheduled and supports bipartisan legislation, yet with an economy seemingly very much stalled (or worse), it’s likely Carney’s job will get even more difficult as more White House reporters follow Tapper’s lead and demand answers.

Surely everyone must know by now that the only job politicians have is attending fundraisers and planning for their re-election.

What is he doing to create jobs?
There will be plenty of jobs in the "NEW" little failed man child messiah 'king" obammy's workers paradise.
The camps will need guards and "kapos".
Someone will have to run "the ovens"!
There will be a feral gooberment snitch in EVERY family unit ...
YEP, in the glorious worker's paradise of the little failed man child messiah "king" Obammy there will be FULL employment!
"All Hail the messiah "king" Obammy!"
"Useful Idiots UNITE!"

Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.

Boy - rats are leaving the sinking Obama ship.
First it was skippy-doo. Now it's Jake Tapper. Can some of the rest of the establish-media be far behind?
It's amazing what a 512 drop in the stock market will do.

They should stabilize once we give them California.

It paints the same picture, but a little worse, i.e. Brazil.

They should stabilize once they take California from us.

Obama is carrying on in the grand tradition of Richard Milhous Nixon, selling us down the river to the Chinese.

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

Lol! Yeah...I was pretty sure you couldn't explain that nonsense rationally.

Exactly how is Obama doing that?
By meeting with his Chinese counterparts?
Would you rather we ignore the largest economy in Asia?

Here ya go, genius.

California may not even qualify as a down payment

This thread was ostensibly about jobs and job creation. What does any of your dopey commentary have to do with that?
#19. To: Thunderbird (#18)
It's called black humor - kind of like cracking jokes on the way to the gallows
Look - I don't know what your problem is, and I don't much care. Check with AKA Stone, maybe he'll give you an official "Thread Monitor" cap.
Otherwize just bozo me, okay. Now shoo - shoo

Hey Stone! Can you see that this gets delivered to T-Bird?
Thanks!

But they're stupid jokes that don't make sense...the kind people usually make when they can't explain whats really happening.
I guess you qualify.

Millions of US jobs outsourced to China has nothing to do with jobs and job creation, RIIIGGGHHHHTTT.

Are you suggesting that Obama has something to do with jobs being outsourced to China?
Perhaps you can explain how that works?

Idiotic environmental regulations that raise the price of energy, and make it impractical for business to operate in the US. China thanks you.
hObama is following the California eco-k00k model of driving business away.

Can you name one company who left the United States for this reason?

California is one of the most reliable job creation engines in the country. More jobs get "created" there than anywhere else in the country.
...and no I'm not talking about jobs being shifted from other states either.

Actually that's just a small part of the saved costs, but heh.. every stream needs a good toxic dump at it's source. I'm sure in some states that's already a reality. Feel free to move to your free market utopias.

I was looking at an episode of 'Police Story' from the seventies last night. The smog shown in their outdoor shots of Southern California was so thick you could cut it. Now posters here from that area say, "its not a problem", even with more people and more autos
Hondo would not be pleased.

Idiotic environmental regulations that raise the price of energy...
The all in price of a KWh in the US is 11 cents...in the UK and France it's 19...in Germany it's 30...in Hong Kong it's 11...
The price of a barrel of oil is the same for us as it is for everyone else...

Hondo likes to see the air he breathes, he must think it has immense health benefits.
