My Thoughts on President Obama’s Jobs Speech Tonight

As usual, I kept a running commentary on my twitter feed.  For all of you non-Twitter folks out there, here were my thoughts (in reverse chronological order).

As Obama spoke tonight, lightening was actually flashing outside. A sign? #obamaspeech #jobsspeech

“Man can be as big as he wants.” #obamaspeech #jobsspeech

In all seriousness, there r some good ideas in the bill, but they r lumped in with some pretty bad ideas. #obamaspeech #jobsspeech

He remembered to say “One Nation Under God” this time!! Good job, Mr. President! I knew you could do it. #obamaspeech #jobsspeech

Mr. President, the Packers and Saints are getting ready to take the field… Are we done yet? #obamaspeech #jobsspeech

A swipe at Gov. Walker in WI? Collective bargining is not a job creator but makes it more difficult 4 buisness #obamaspeech #jobsspeech

If millionaires keep more of their money, teachers are kept from the classroom – class warfare if I’ve ever seen it! #obamaspeech

Who gets to decide who “earns too much and can afford to pay more”? #obamaspeech

Just because someone can afford higher taxes doesn’t mean they deserve higher taxes. #obamaspeech
 
The President just called for a tax cut for the middle class by taxing the rich more. This is not how jobs are created! #obamaspeech

Republicans look comfy in their chairs as Democrats applaud. #obamaspeech #jobs #tcot

Dear Congress, please read the Presiden’ts jobs bill before passing it…#obamaspeech #jobs #tcot

High speed rail is not the answer, nor is more temporary gov. construction jobs, nor is more gov. spending #obamaspeech #jobs #tcot
 
Mitch McConnel looks like a zombie. #obamaspeech #jobs #tcot

“Stop the political circus” – like scheduling this speech during the GOP debate or calling the TEA Parties SOB’s? #obamaspeech #jobs #tcot
