my letter to President Obama on the jobs bill

Dear President Obama,

For your information, Your jobs bill does not create lasting, sustainable jobs. It only creates short term jobs, so once the job is done then the person is out of a job again and then you would have to do another jobs bill. To tell you the truth it sounds like the earlier one you had passed (Stimulas bill 2009) And that did not create jobs! You even agreed that the "shovel ready jobs were not as shovel ready as they could have been" The simple way to create jobs let the people create their own jobs. (More people creating their own jobs pay taxes which means more money for the governemt) The only way they can create their own jobs is to NOT have the government regulations that are so restrictive. Some of the bills that are written have some much in them that it becomes scary when we start hearing what is in them. Like the the Dodd-Frank Act. Businesses, who are owned by regular people(which includes tea party people) who you seem to put down at every turn, are starting to get sick to the stomach by the amount of regulation that is coming out. It is already killing jobs. Please stop what you are doing to create jobs and start doing it differently. Albert Einstein said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Solyndra goes bankrupt

In 2009, Solyndra secured a $535 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Treasury to produce solar panels. But on August 31, 2011, the company shut its doors and announced its intent to file for bankruptcy.

President Obama visited the plant in May 2010 and touted it as a shining light for the future of green jobs and a green-energy economy.

“The promise of clean energy isn’t just an article of faith — not anymore,” Obama said at the time. “The future is here.”

Apparently the future was bankruptcy! (So much for Obama's promise of clean energy)

Withholder in Chief by Maureen Dowd

The following is taken from an Op-ed entitled 'Witholder in Chief' on August 9 written by Maureen Dowd, a professed liberal:

"As America reels from the latest humiliating blows on the economy and in Afghanistan. The politician who came across as a redeemer in 2008 is now in need of redemption himself…

"Faced with a country keening for reassurance and reinvention, Obama seems at a loss. Regarding his political skills, he turns out to be the odd case of a pragmatist who can’t learn from his mistakes and adapt…

"After failing to interrupt his Camp David weekend to buck up the country on one of its worst days in history[In Afghanistan], he tacked on his condolences for the soldiers’ families to his economic pep talk, in what had to be the most inept oratorical segue of his presidency…

"His withholding and reactive nature has made him seem strangely irrelevant in Washington, trapped by his own temperament. He doesn’t lead, and he doesn’t understand why we don’t feel led..."
