Obama Offers Preview of SOTU Address: Jobs Will Be Number One Focus (Just Like Last Year)

Barack Obama released a video today to supporters giving them a glimpse of his State of the Union Address this coming week.
Obama says his “principle and number one focus” this next year will be on creating jobs.

Of course, we’ve heard this all before.
He said the same thing last year…

From his 2010 SOTU address:

I realize that for every success story, there are other stories, of men and women who wake up with the anguish of not knowing where their next paycheck will come from; who send out resumes week after week and hear nothing in response. That is why jobs must be our number one focus in 2010, and that is why I am calling for a new jobs bill tonight.

Of course, it wasn’t.
Rep. Joe WIlson may have said it best.
You lie.

While Obama wasn’t focussing on jobs, the US unemployment rate hit 10%.

Imagine what will happen once he starts focussing on jobs. Kind of scary.

So Obie, whatcha gonna do? Hire another few thousand IRS agents? More TSA folks? More union fat cats?

And you know the sad thing is people will actually beleive it.
Nothing this man says can be beleived.
Look at his actions not his teleprompter speeches.

Nick, that would imply that he’s a pathological liar, like a gambler or alcoholic. Somehow I don’t believe he is. He’s a calculating liar. He’s doing it on purpose, not because his urges are too big and because he can’t control himself.

Two years too late.

Thanks for no jobs and a 900 billion failed stimulus.

Last year laser focused on jobs, this year , number one focus will be jobs. Really, I think not, given all the moves he has made to put the 2012 campaign army in place, the only job he’s focused on is his own, the rest of us are SOL.

I remember last year Pelosi and Biden had SEIU colors on .
BigO’s tires were clothed in a darker version of SEIU color
There were many other Dems wearing SEIU colors.
Wonder what color Dems will be wearing this time ?
Maybe Obama will dye his hair purple to send a message and remove all doubts about his ” jobs” plan.

I think bald would go the best with the SOTU and no head at all would best reflect his ideas on job creation.

Carbon Pootprint commented:

just think how many jobs could be created if this most corrupt big bank connected administration in US history started prosecuting the fraudsters. Oh I know that would probably be going back on their word (snicker snicker snicker) on some deal the ranchers made with each other years ago with the Cloward and Piven scam.

@ bg #22

Here is the gist of the Obama regime :
1. It is a 4G network
( G E, G M , Goldmansachs and Google)

3. It is a 3M demographic
( Marxists, Muslims and Mexicans)

Anyone and anything outside of 4G ans 2M has NO value or relevance to this regime

Mr Obama, you sir have created nothing but debt,record unemployment, a weakened military, reord spending with nothing short of a catastrophy to show for it. Sell it elsewhere skippy, our misery has a face, YOURS.

Voting for anyone but you will help the country, that is how big a socialist you have been to hurt this great nation.

Slight problem with that – the government doesn’t produce anything to sell for profit. That pay that government employees get comes out of the pocket of the taxpayer for the most part.

[The U.S. government is pouring billions into General Motors in hopes of reviving the domestic economy, but when the automaker completes its restructuring plan, many of the company’s new jobs will be filled by workers overseas.

[..]

What this illustrates is that the problem with the domestic auto industry all along has been exorbitant labor costs. Or, put more bluntly, the problem has been the UAW. In order to become solvent going forward General Motors most find a cheaper labor pool so that it can compete with its foreign counterparts. That means getting away from the UAW in Mexico, among other places.

In summary, we could have saved ourselves billions in bailouts and kept GM’s jobs in America if the Obama administration hadn’t insisted in essentially taking the company over so that the UAW’s labor contracts wouldn’t be re-negotiated in bankruptcy. Now that the UAW has been so artfully protected by Obama, GM has to go overseas to remain profitable.

And if Obama blocks this move toward outsourcing (and he can’t be that
stupid as even he knows he’s now tied to GM’s future), the company will
collapse.]

Someone needs to bring one of those electronic little laugh boxes with them to the SOTU. Maybe they could also bring a recording asking, Where is your birth certificate?

I won’t be tuning in to see a sociopath lie to me. I’ll have to find out how it went from the blogs. My stomach can’t take it, neither can my eyes. Everyone’s on to you Barry. When you are up there with your nose stuck up in the air, head bobbing back and forth so you know what to say next, people know everything coming out of your mouth is a lie.

Maybe he should go back to the teleprompter.

Shining eloquence. Brilliant elocution. Erudite.
