Jay Carney Admits White House Needs Two More Weeks to Figure Out How to Pay For the $447 Billion Spending Plan (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, September 9, 2011, 9:39 AM
So, basically it took Obama a month and a vacation in Martha’s Vineyard to come up with a rehashed stimulus plan that could have been thrown together in a couple of hour?
And, they still need two more weeks to figure out how to pay for it.
White House Spokesman Jay Carney told Bill O’Reilly last night that the Obama Administration will announce how to pay for their $447 billion plan two weeks from now.
It’s still amateur hour in the White House.

That is the funniest picture. I think Carney’s face tells it all.
M. Miller commented:
Give them a break. School just started and we know how those academicians like to ease into the new year. We have to give them time to cook up some new accounting gimmicks that we haven’t seen before and aren’t just reprisals of some old tricks.

Need new lie, the old one has expired.

The fairness that Barry is taliking about is the same old drivel. Cancel all tax incentives for fossil fuel and oil, pocket the money, and do- nothing! Stimulus 1 & 2 followed the same game plan.
It is important to realize our public policy, up until now, has been cheap energy. It drove the industrial sector and allow us to have the American way of life, with our far flung landscape, suburbs, etc. Without cheap energy, America is over, get it? We can’t compete at our pay scale without cheap energy. Barry is determined to end all of this. Yesterday’s speech is the continuation of the Maxist Malaise he has unleashed on us.

And for this half baked idea Obama wanted to pre-empt the Republican debate. What nerve.
myohmy commented:
Carney, do you think people are that idiot to believe that your Messiah can turn this economy around by propping up all Obama’s crony friends and union armies?
mg4us commented:
Proving, once again, that Obama and his RATs (DemocRATs) know how to spend recklessly like drunken sailors but haven’t a clue how to pay when the Bill comes due!
And one wonders why the stock market tanks. .
there is no confidence with President Zero and the uncertainty he creates.
The market cannot handle unpredictable ever-changing (for the worse) uncertainty.
No one knows where bottom is.
Obama – - Incompetent, Inept, Inexperienced and totally radical too!
rbosque commented:
If its that important, then Obama can get his backers including Soros to pitch in the money. After all, if we’re not supposed to pay for it and it’s SUCH a good idea, he can pass a hat around to his union and Hollywood chums.
Patty commented:
It was like amateur hour or kids say the darnest things and Carney was both.
I never realized how young this administration is and to this day not ready for Prime time, so no wonder the act like children.
Now, it is completely clear why they don’t like Fox. I not naive and have always known this but I just happened to see this interview and it was a ship wreck.

Great point. Soros has money but he is using it to purchase all the Oil fields in other Nations.
Stan25 commented:
Same old crap, just a different package.
#1AMERICAN commented:
no need to figure out how to pay for it… DO NOT VOTE FOR IT…problem solved kenyan fraud
REDPILLPATRIOT commented:
It’s easy, Tax the rich, tax small business, tax big corporations, tax, tax, tax…… Any questions? And while were at it lets finish off that pesky 1st and 2nd amendment by removing the cross at the WTC and banning prayer as well as get rid of those dangerous firearms so no more IHOP incidents occur. Done and done. Tee-Time.
Stan2 commented:
Half-baked plan? The dog ate his homework.
myohmy commented:
Carney, no billions of dollars stash away at the WH?
Neo commented:
You have to pass the bill to find out how they will pay the bill.
I’ve seen this movie before.
Stephana commented:
And this was the plan that was touted to save the planet. My what a miserable failure this pee resident has proven himself to be.
Patty commented:
The desperation is palpable, isn’t it? The Republicans probably won’t pass it, but at least he has somebody to blame now, which makes a “Scooby-Doo ending” to his presidency a possibility next year. On election night an Obama mask will be removed and there will sit George Soros: “I’d have gotten away with if it weren’t for you darn Teabaggers!”

For those who waste their time viewing the “news”, you’d better get accustomed to an onslaught of human misery stories which the msm will boldly tie to the Tea Party and fiscally conservative Republicans.

I know, lets Close Corporate tax loopholes and sunset the bush tax cuts on the top 2%.
Problem solved…

Unfortunately, in order to prove to the 53% just how corrupt and incompetent this administration is, things are going to have to get a LOT worse.
WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!
(the 53%, that is…yes, some are s-l-o-w-l-y getting it, but most are still in a daze)

One congressman set it best last night: “if the one trillion dollar stimulus didn’t work, am I the only one who wonders why they think another 400 billion stilumlus won’t work?”
Smoke and mirrors, Kabuki. The “paid for” they talk about is cutting spending increases they were planning. That is NOT savings! Plus, the “paid for” also includes plans for the coming years, where they will be a different Congress who can cancel these plans any time.
Its just the stupidest speech with the stupidest ideas. Put people to work on infrastructure, building roads and bridges? Of course, there will always be a need to build roads and bridges. But this is akin to the Depression, when they were having people dig holes just for the sake of providing work. WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THAT?
STUPID STUPID STUPID.
BHO is such an affront to intelligent society. I want to shout at the morons who voted for him without vetting him one bit, exaclty what criteria did you use to qualify him as Presidential material? Are you liberals and left leaning independents just that stupid that you would be sold on his speaking ability? Is that how you would choose a surgeon or doctor for your child, by someone’s speaking ability, and not their experience?
YOU have put your family and your country and your future in dire danger because you refused to look at any evidence of this man’s history. If this country goes down, which it already is, it is YOUR fault. I wouldn’t wish misery on people, but I have to say, if it’s mostly Liberals that are on the unemployment line, I think that is justly deserved, and you have time while you stand in line to think about your STUPID mistake in voting for this idiot. You reap what you sow.

obama, proof positive that affirmation action eventually elevates the actionee to a level of incompetence.
MAJ Mike commented:
To quote Herman Cain, “We waited 30 months for this!?!”
Nailed it in one. Maybe he shoud be Fed Chief rather than President. I fear his talents might be wasted in the White House.
Joe College commented:
Mark Stein, on Rush’s show, has pointed out that the ‘bill’ that Obama urged Congress 17 times to pass DOES NOT EXIST! There is no bill.
You know when there will be a bill? About a minute before the vote.
Black Sabbath commented:
You can bet over the next two weeks we’ll hear Liberals screaming that the Republicans won’t pass the bill – when there isn’t one. I saw the first comment like this from some Lib last night already: No one is helping Obama, Republicans are obstructionist, Obama is just trying to save jobs with his ideas, blah blah blah.
Militant Conservative commented:
#24 is a flaming idiot hemmoroid.
It has such a pathetic grasp of economics and it shows.
Book for ya “Basic Economics” by Thomas Sowell.
I read it, so simple even an it can grasp the truths within.
powder is dry
Stuart commented:
Hey Barak! I got an Idea. Let the Air Force nuke our ten biggest cities. Just think of all of the shovel ready jobs that would provide. We could put millions of people to work rebuilding, plus the medical establishment would make a ton of taxable income treating all of the casualties. This plan is so brilliant that I deserve a job in your administration. I’ve been unemployed for quite a while now.
O : F commented:
LOL, swedish minister of finance Anders Borg said today about Obama’s stimulus plan “It will have no effect, apart from increasing debt, and they will have to raise the taxes and cut future spending”. And Sweden’s a country that’s been ruled by socialists for 80 of the last 90 years.
Wake up Obama!
On the other hand, since it took 80 years of stupidity here… you have a long way to go.

Does the corrupt Obama Regime think it is helpful to have Doogie Houser as Official Spokesteenager?

Of course the answer is very simple:
Obama: I will gladly repay you tomorrow for a 500 billion dollar spending program today!
dnb commented:
He and has daughter used their last trip to work on their respective speeches, his for the Congress and the people of the United States, and hers for student council. Both came out the same:
I promise you tax breaks for new hires, infrastructure jobs, new schools but you must pass this bill right away.
I promise you candy for lunch, longer recesses and comics in the library but you must elect me student council president right away.
Which is the great public speaker?
