This blog will focus on the president's speech and subsequent peaches on his current "tour". Since there is no physical Jobs bill released yet, I can only write about what he has said.
The first thing that struck me in his speech to congress was that he said "Pass this bill Now!" 17 times. SEVENTEEN times! The last time he addressed the nation and pushed a bill this hard, We ended up with a health care bill rammed down our throats with very little openness. This will be more difficult because his party no longer controls both houses of congress. which of course sets up the inevitable Democrat spin that the GOP (house) are obstructing and keeping people from working. Funny how whichever party doesn't get their way, the other party must be obstructionists just because they disagree. The real bottom line here is to ignore the campaigning and rhetoric to see the actual detailed Jobs Bill. Then we can look at it closely and see what's what. Stay tuned for my assessment at that time.
