What Is the President Doing to Help the Economy Besides Going to Fundraisers?

TAPPER: Well, what is the president doing? We know that he went to a -- -- he went to fundraisers last night. What's he doing today?

CARNEY: Jake, that is --

TAPPER: What is he doing --

CARNEY: The president -- as the president has worked --

TAPPER: We hear him hectoring Congress about all the stuff that needs to be done to help create jobs --

CARNEY: That's right. And Congress --

TAPPER: -- and then he flew off to Chicago. What is he doing today?

CARNEY: The president is having meetings with his senior staff. The president has called on Congress to move quickly on things that have bipartisan support and are in Congress's lap, the trade --

TAPPER: The same stuff he was doing a couple months ago, calling on Congress to pass things.

CARNEY: Congress has the power to pass legislation that the president can sign. The actions that it can take could create more jobs right now, if it passed the patent reform, if it passed the free trade agreements. And as you know, there are other issues that the president encourages and will push hard for the Congress to take up when it returns from its recess, including extension of the payroll tax cut, which would put -- which has this year put an additional $1,000 in the pockets of every American, or typical American family. And he believes we need to do that again next year, because that assists those families in having them -- you know, giving them the ability to make ends meet, and puts money back into the economy, which in turn sustains businesses and creates jobs.  And he will continue to come up with and propose measures that we in Washington together can take to spur further economic growth and job creation.

TAPPER: Has he called Mitch McConnell? Has he called John Boehner? Has -- is he working on things that they can do? If every --

CARNEY: Jake, I don't -- I know you weren't here yesterday, but I know you were here for most of the days before that, when this president and those leaders and others worked seven days a week to avert a major economic crisis in this country that would have made –-

TAPPER: You’re the one always saying the president can walk and chew gum at the same time. I'm asking you --

CARNEY: Well, what are -- are you asking me what -- he is -- he is focused --

TAPPER: Other than calling on Congress to pass things you've been calling on Congress to pass for months, what is he doing to help the economy?

CARNEY: He is working very closely with his senior economic advisers to come up with new proposals to help advance growth and job creation. He is working with members of Congress to help advance growth and job creation. And he will continue to do that. There are things that Congress can do now to create jobs, and they should. There are things that Congress will be able to do when they return from recess to help create jobs and spur growth, and they should. And he looks forward to working with Congress to do that.

You've got to love it when the MSM wakes up to reality. Maybe someone will finally ask Obama what he meant by Change? At this point it has all been Change for the worse.

Carney had no answers.  Tapper was right when he said that it was the same thing he, obamaReppublicans, the Tea Party , thae lasck of bipartisonship, big buisness, oil, gas,  lack of a friendly eco system, the sun, the moon, and prbably even Fox and all right wing commentators.  Yes we have a President that is doing something but sure isn';t doing something that helps the country.

A little wallstreet birthday gift for you Mr. President. Hurry up and blow out your candles. There are still a few more sectors of the american country to destroy.

Obama and the Democratic Parties idea for jobs creation is to raise taxes on businesses. Let me ask you something. When we raised taxes on tabbaco products sales went down by 12%, right? If we raised taxes on imports it slows import growth. How could anyone in their right mind think that raising taxes would do anything other then slow jobs growth in this country?

How Do You Create Jobs In This Country? Democrats Don't Know How

Seriously, if you can't understand how to create jobs and how jobs have been created then you need to get out of politics. But the truth of the matter is the Democratic Party is clueless on how to create jobs. Take a look at the presidents cabinet. He doesn't have ONE person in his cabinet that has ever worked in the private sector. The sector that creates jobs. This is the common difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Take for instance the two men running for Michigan's governor. Verge hasn't created a job in his life of professional politician. On the other hand Rick has made a great living creating jobs in this country and bringing business and money to our state. If you were in need of jobs, which every state in the union is, then you need to hire someone that knows how to do that. It's time we get rid of the people that THINK they know how to create jobs and hire people that KNOW how to create jobs. If we can get people in our government that can make it easier for Americans to make money, get rich and work then we will have enough money to pay for the things we need and maybe even the things we want as well. If you think punishing the people and businesses that create jobs is the best way to get this country back on top then you need therapy. As no one is that stupid and senseless. But if all you want is to take from hard working Americans in order to get what you wants then you need God. We must never kill the American dream just because some liberals want to take the dream without working for it.
