Obama’s jobs bill is a road to nowhere

It has been almost three years since Obama had been elected president, and for almost three years now he is still in campaign mode. This time it’s his “jobs” bill. He’s out there day after day saying “pass this bill.” The only problem was, for the first couple of weeks, there was no bill. But finally, Sen. Reid gets a “jobs” bill on his desk. So the president appears every day on TV and radio saying “pass this bill.” But alas, it sits on Reid’s desk. So the next day, and the next and so on, we get the same “pass this bill” from the president.

He says we need this bill to fix bridges. Boy, does that sound familiar. Does shovel ready ring a bell? Where did all that stimulus money go? It was a giant slush fund for his union buddies.

And why is the bill sitting on Harry Reid’s desk? Because even Democrats in Congress don’t like it. Obama knew from the start his next stimulus package, I mean “jobs” bill, wasn’t going to go anywhere, but he’s going to do what he does best, always blame somebody else for the country’s problems.

Unlike government whose forecasts go only months into the future, businesses look years. And do you know what they see? Obamacare, that’s what. A plan that’s going to cost them millions if not billions of dollars. That’s why they are hanging on to their profits, preparing for the future. You want to see growth?

Make Barack Obama a one-term president.
