OBAMA MENTIONS HIMSELF 132 TIMES IN "JOBS" SPEECH

A good example of where President Obama's mind is focused can be shown by his recent "jobs", speech given on January 22.

Americans for Prosperity has analyzed, which you can see in the short (1:59) video clip, the speech hoping to find some good ideas to get the economy out of its current malaise. What they found speaks volumes about the arrogance and misguided priorities of many of our nation's politicians, and it starts at the top.

The President mentions the word "taxpayer", those of us who are going to foot the bill for his unprecedented debt bomb, only twice. He mentioned "tax-cuts", a proven way to actually revitalize the economy, twice, and "small business", the source of job growth, eight times. In comparison, he mentioned himself, in the form of "I", or "me", 132 times!

What we can expect tonight is more empty "hope and change", rhetoric, including a three year spending freeze, a deceitful gimmick that locks in his out-of-control deficit spending at unprecedented high levels.

You may have heard that President Obama has proposed a three-year "freeze" on federal spending, and that may sound good on its face. it's really a gimmick to make it look like the administration has heard your voice about the size of government.

Don't be fooled by the political maneuvering. Any spending cuts will not be real, impactful cuts, and any suggestion of tax-cuts will be minuscule. With that being said, I hope I'm dead wrong and that he will finally put politics aside and do what's in the best interests of the United States. He should spend less time worrying about "me", and a lot more time worrying about "we."
