It’s never too late for a jobs bill, even three years into Barack Obama’s<\/strong> presidency.<\/p>\n

Obama himself tried to make that point, over and over, 17 times in fact, during his speech before Congress and the American people Thursday night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
President Obama<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

VP Joe Biden<\/strong> echoed the point the next morning on the news talk shows, not surprisingly.<\/p>\n

But is this the gang that can’t shoot straight, so to speak?<\/p>\n

The speech, after all, aired 4p on the West Coast, well before most people on the left coast could see it.<\/p>\n

It also came on the opening night of the NFL<\/em> season, so it seemed forced and ill-timed after being moved around.<\/p>\n

Can you also trust the same people who forced a health-care bill, unread by so many, into law?<\/p>\n

It would also be interesting to know how this bill, reportedly $450 billion in cost, is already paid for as Biden claimed.<\/p>\n

The so-called stimulus, which came in at over $800 billion did little to jump-start the economy, so will throwing more money—that we don’t have–at the problem help?<\/p>\n

Finally, the president himself may be losing his luster as the messenger of hope and change.<\/p>\n

He rarely smiles, shows little optimism and seems a bit angry at times.<\/p>\n

What do you think? … feel free to comment below.<\/p>\n
