Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.
Quote:Dig a little and it is possible to unearth some proposals - although not much detail. Mr Obama has said he would create a million new manufacturing jobs by 2016 by encouraging trade deals, and create 100,000 new teaching jobs. He'd help students pay for college. He wants extensive reform of America's over-complex and confusing tax system. In part, he would do this to cut America's debt - letting tax breaks for the well-off expire and making sure no-one earning a million dollars is on a lower rate than the average. He would get rid of what he says are tax breaks for companies moving jobs and profits out of America. He'd make a new effort to get Congress to pass his American Jobs Act - cutting the equivalent of national insurance, giving tax breaks to companies hiring new workers, investing in new school buildings and a $50bn (£31bn) investment in infrastructure. He says he has a "deep commitment " to reforming America's broken immigration system - but it's not clear how tough, or tender, he would be towards the millions of illegal immigrants already in the USA.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Or has everyone suddenly forgotten that Obama had 2 years of controlling the House and Senate, and he got next to NOTHING done ? He COULD have opted to created these jobs, first and foremost, but instead, chose to shove his Left wing agenda down our throats, namely with O-Care.

True...but the Constitution does not provide that power to the Federal Govt, its traditionally been reserved to the States. That's why Federal Education policy is so broad (this block of money, that block of money, and eat your veggies)and State policy is so specific (this school, this bus, this book, this menu item, this much time, etc.).

Quote:If he has one does it include anything more specific then Romney's? If not, why aren't you leftists more upset?

Quote:Originally posted by Hero: Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: "We've heard all about Romney' s plans on the economy, energy, and foreign policy." cites? Go back and watch the first debate or a Youtube of a Romney stump speech. They spent 90% of Debate 1 talking about the President's failed record and Romney's plans. I know you guys want more specifics but that issue has been done to death. What I'm asking is what is the President's agenda for the 2nd term? If he has one does it include anything more specific then Romney's? If not, why aren't you leftists more upset? For example. 100,000 teachers, raising taxes, and deficit reduction are the ONLY things he's promised so far in detail (if you don't count all of his failed promises in 2008). How is that going to be paid for? Where will those teachers work? For taxes, how what is a fair share? What about the tax increases on 161 million workers starting January 1st? How much revenue does he expect to get from the rich? Is that really worth the impact on the economy? Why did he say about a year or so back that raising taxes on the rich was the wrong thing to do? What specific spending cuts does he propose? Or does he plan to continue trillion dollar deficits through the next four year? If so...how much debt...exactly...is too much debt? What is his plan if ObamaCare fails to control the price of medical care? What is his plan for all the Doctors who plan to stop or reduce their practice because of ObamaCare? What is his plan to stop illegal immigration? Does he plan to offer amnesty? How will the President work to restore America's leadership in the world? What is the President's plan to deal with Al Queda? Does he plan to pretend they have been defeated or does he have a comprehensive strategy for combating the tide of Islamic radicalism sweeping the Islamic World? What is the President's plan to deal with China? Russia? Iran? Venezuela? Canada (that's right...you Canadians want a war, WE'LL GIVE YOU A WAR...over fishing rights and syrup...BUT BE PREPARED FOR HELL...or a strongly worded protest)? What are his plans to prevent a repeat of Bengazi and to deal with the failure of policy that allowed it to happen? Same questions only...Fast and Furious? I ask these questions because the President should be running at least as much on what his plans are then simply opposing Romney's plans. H Hero...must be right on all of this. ALL of the rest of us are wrong. Chrisisall, 2012
