UNBELIEVABLE!
The Trib issued a statement saying that they endorsed Obama in 08 and continue to endorse certain initiatives...wow. Mr. Chapman said Obama should go relax on a beach somewhere and "wrestle" the cap off of a Corona instead.

Remarks by the President on Economic Growth and Deficit Reduction | The White House

Remarks by the President on Economic Growth and Deficit Reduction | The White House

Today the President spoke on the American Jobs Act and for how it will be financed. It will will be a balance of restructuring social programs, the tax code and rescinding temporary tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and wealthiest American companies because they don't need them anymore.
The GOP is fussy about the tax breaks because they want the wealthiest to continue to get them. The President said it s time to live within our means without starving the poorest Americans in the process.

President Obama: “If you love me, then help me pass this bill.”

He told the crowd this at a rally in North Carolina this week while discussing the American Jobs Act. The President asked everyone listening to call their legislators and ask them to support the bill. Speaker of the House, John Boehner said today in a speech that raising taxes on the rich would not meet congressional approval. I don’t know why he said that but he seemed to think that his peers would not initiate a tax on the nation’s wealthiest to accommodate those who look to the American Jobs Act to alleviate joblessness. Personally, I pray a lot. I pray for our nation’s leaders that they do what Jesus would do if He were in their position.

This video is about how the American Jobs Act will affect our nation’s public educational system.
