And why did he wait 32 month to save us?
We do need to acknowledge this is a departure from, “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it.”
Keep in mind we had “Stimulus” and other budget expansions totaling more than $1 trillion. The result is the loss of nearly 3 million jobs. Now comes the “American Jobs Act.” It is supposed to create or save up to 450,000 jobs. Its stated cost is $447 billion. Long division tells us, if as successful as the President hopes, the program will cost $1 million per job. Thousands of those “saved” jobs are teaching jobs—which we already saved in 2009 at a cost of hundreds of billions. I confidently wrote this without reading the “American jobs act.” If you want to read it, go here.

He waited 32 months because he was busy spending 100% of his considerable political capital destroying health care in America while Wall Street and the economy burned, and while oil spilled into the Gulf, and while he played golf.
He can portray Congress as obstructionist all he wants — the 2010 electoral landslide in favor of Republicans DEMANDS that Congress block his every nefarious intention; this is what voters sent them to Washington to do, and by God they are doing it, and will keep doing it.
