Jobs, jobs, jobs

So Thursday night the president will announce his jobs bill. He will basically announce a plan to start rebuilding infrastructure, roads, bridges, good stuff. But here is the problem. He sat on the bill since last month back in Iowa. "I'll be putting forward a very specific plan to boost the economy, to create jobs and to control the deficit," Obama said on the first day of his three-day Midwest bus tour. "And my attitude will be, 'Get it done.' "

So instead of canceling his vacation and calling back Congress to move forward on this plan to get people back to work immediately, he waited. So then he scheduled it for Sept 8, and Obama's beleaguered supporters actually got excited, thinking Obama is fighting back. He scheduled his job announcement at the same time as a fairly meaningless Republican debate. Obama supporters said he is flexing his presidential muscles and showing the Republicans who is boss.

Their excitement didn’t last long because the Republican said, no way, and Obama like he has done his entire presidency, backed down. He changed it once again to Thursday at an earlier time not to conflict with football.

So the most important issue in America, jobs, has been scheduled, rescheduled, kicked around, and postponed, kind of the same treatment the American worker has actually received. So is it any wonder why Obama’s numbers are now at all time lows. 

“After the bruising debt-ceiling fight — as well as Standard & Poor's subsequent downgrade of the nation's credit rating — Obama's job approval rating has sunk to a low of 44 percent, a 3-point drop since July. His handling of the economy stands at a low of 37 percent. And only 19 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction, the lowest mark for this president.

Perhaps most ominously for Obama, a majority of poll takers — 54 percent — think he's facing a longer-term setback from which he's unlikely to recover. Back in January, just 39 percent agreed with that assessment.”

George Bush was at 54 percent after his handling of Katrina, which is where the president is at. Katrina Bush levels. Right now the only people in worst shape than the president is the American workers.
