You have to love the niffty name...the American jobs act.
I guess he lied about the 800 billion stimulus that he took from us taxpayers that was for SHOVEL ready jobs and to bring unemployment down..
tsk tsk

On September 8, 2011 one year ago tomorrow President Obama laid out a series of policy proposals known collectively as the American Jobs Act. The plan included stimulus spending in the form of immediate infrastructure investments, tax credits for working Americans and employers to encourage consumer spending and job growth, and efforts to shore up state and local budgets to prevent further layoffs of teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public safety officials.
The American Jobs Act never became law, however, because Republicans opposed it from the start, blasting it as another form of failed stimulus that wouldnt help the economy. (They ignored the fact that the first failed stimulus, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, wasnt a failure at all.) One month later, the GOP blocked the bill in the Senate, preventing the creation of more than a million jobs and the added growth that multiple economists predicted would occur if the bill passed:
Moodys Analytics estimated the American Jobs Act would create 1.9 million jobs and add two percent to gross domestic product.
The Economic Policy Institute estimated it would create 2.6 million jobs and protect an addition 1.6 million existing jobs.
Macroeconomic Advisers predicted it would create 2.1 million jobs and boost GDP by 1.5 percent.
Goldman Sachs estimated it would add 1.5 percent to GDP.

15 jobs bills are sitting in the Senate, Reid won't even put them out for discussion and/ or compromise. Looks like Obama needs to exercise leadership.

Unemployment never going over 8% and everything was going to be okay and if he didn't turn it around he wouldn't run again.
Those Pubs jobs bills are pure propaganda, screwing workers and the environment, would do nothing, for the dupes only. The jobs act is exactly the kind of bill Pubs always vote for in years past, but they're terrified of helping the economy or anything else under Obama, a disgrace. Assume the position, mindless a-hole pubs and brainwashed dupes. 55% aren't that stupid or pathetic.
Obama has not meet with the jobs council he appointed since January of this year and has rejected most if not all of their recommendations.
The economywent from 800k jobs lost a month to 30 months of job grwth in 8 months. Mindless Pub obstruction followed in 2/2010. And they lie about that-"Two full years of Dem control- and the 200 filibusters?).
Pub dupe idiocy.
I know, let's cut taxes on the bloated rich, destroy Medicare and health reform, raise taxes and fees on the nonrich, let corporate cheats run wild, cut aid to states and localities, raise military spending to more than the rest of the world combined, and worry about the debt in 2035. Absolute idiocy, dupes.

Why? Give us some "credible" facts to back up your claim. Obama's jobs bill has been on the table since last summer.

Washington (CNN) -- Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked the No.1 item on the president's congressional "to-do-list," refusing to allow a vote on a bill that would give tax breaks for companies that "insource" jobs to the U.S. from overseas while eliminating tax deductions for companies that move jobs abroad.
In voting against the bill, Republicans raised both substantive and procedural problems with the measure.
The bill fell four votes short of the 60 needed to bring it to debate, with 42 voting against it. Four GOP senators -- Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Dean Heller of Nevada -- voted in favor of the bill.
Those Pubs jobs bills are pure propaganda, screwing workers and the environment, would do nothing, for the dupes only.
