Libya? Lifeline? Phone my campaign manager.
the whole Herman Cain interview stumble reveals, most of all, how hollow conservative opposition to the President is.
they hear the name Obama and they immediately knee jerk into the standard “oppose”; regardless of how informed they are of how events transpired or what his stance on policy is.
this isn’t just a trend for conservatives (even though its totally left our country shit out of luck in terms of a productive Congress); but its also the trend for anti establishment liberals, libertarians, political-hipsters, non conformists, etc.
dissent is a form of patriotism, but it should be the result of an the inability to reason out favorable understanding; not default.
compromise makes great leadership.
thanks Herman, for revealing how transparent (and hollow) your logic is.

White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer: “The American Jobs Act is being blocked by Republicans in the Senate who have voted in unison against these common-sense, broadly supported proposals, and Republicans in the House refuse to even give the bill a vote. Senate Republicans have offered their own alternative as an excuse to oppose the President’s plan, but a look at them side by side leads to only one conclusion: one is truly a jobs plan, and one is not.”
DC Decoder has looked at the GOP proposal twice, once for its rather slim pickings in terms of new proposals and a second time through the lens of Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler’s work (which was not kind to the bill.)
In terms of Obama’s plan, you can see how it went down in flames here - and the shoddy math employed to discount it here.

The President’s Letter to Leaders of Both Houses Re: Intention to Unveil Jobs Program … Denied By Boehner
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. Leader:),
Our Nation faces unprecedented economic challenges, and millions of hardworking Americans continue to look for jobs. As I have traveled across our country this summer and spoken with our fellow Americans, I have heard a consistent message: Washington needs to put aside politics and start making decisions based on what is best for our country and not what is best for each of our parties in order to grow the economy and create jobs. We must answer this call.
Therefore, I respectfully request the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress on September 7, 2011, at 8:00 p.m. It is my intention to lay out a series of bipartisan proposals that the Congress can take immediately to continue to rebuild the American economy by strengthening small businesses, helping Americans get back to work, and putting more money in the paychecks of the Middle Class and working Americans, while still reducing our deficit and getting our fiscal house in order. It is our responsibility to find bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy, and if we are willing to put country before party, I am confident we can do just that.

President Obama’s call for a joint session of congress; in order to address the jobs crisis, has been denied by (soon to be ex) speaker Boehner.
As if Republican intention to politically manipulate this nation hasn’t been apparent enough - this truly reveals their intentions.
The President does his job, bringing a progressive agenda forward and regardless of how much they claim the issue is about our budget or jobs - they just simply have no intention of addressing these issues prior to an election.
Many of us, including myself may be partisan; but leadership is not a partisan issue. Don’t criticize the man for not being a leader when you are what stands in his way.
For now…

Republican Thinking/Job Creators: A Box Within A Box.
What kind of boxed in thinking is it to assume that only the rich can create a job. They haven’t and frankly they probably won’t - as they gear up to hoard their money for the rest of their life.
The kind of thinking politicians need to adopt is that we dont need job creators; what we need is to create the job creators: out of the rich, poor, or anyone capable of innovation.
Whenever it is we finally decide to collect what the ultra-wealthy owe America, we will have decided to create an open field to create new job creators.
Without this potential there will only remain a closed dried up self preserving field. It is an obligation to collect, recreate, restructure and sustain this country so that we all have the opportunity to pursue new frontiers.
Our job problem is our revenue problem.
