From Letters to the Editor in St Louis Today. I think he speaks for a lot of folks whose frustration is growing:

Action on jobs is desperately needed

Another hate post??? Do you spend your days and nights doing searches on "the republicans fault"?? Maybe you should spend some time educating yourself on economics so that you'll understand why you don't support things that create ten jobs at the cost of thirty and think that's progress.

When I saw it was you who posted first I knew you would accuse me of "perusing hate articles" to "find a jewel".
It was third or fourth down on the google news and the other articles were about obama saying the economy was OK.
That is not what his speech was about and I didn't even hear that but won't dispute it at the moment cause I didn't listen to all the Q&A.
Quite frankly I don't know why there were not more articles about the substance of the speech where he very lightly (too lightly for my tastes) encouraged action in congress, YES that is why we have no more jobs than we have. Purely and simply to gain back the white house.

Do you want this country to fail at the behest of a small elite group of people?
There are some good ideas in the jobs bill which I think is part of the over all stimulus which your side decries and wasn't even all passed yet.
If it was we would have some stimulus for this economy and get moving again.
Why oh why people like yourself continue to think the republicans in congress today have your--or anybody but themselves--best interest at heart is mind staggering. THEY BLEW IT and are stifling any attempt at getting on track and when Romney gets in they will repeat thinking they will gain mucho denero all over again.
At some point the cow is going to go dry, ff.
And that cow is the middle class American.
And no amount of socialism name calling will change that.

The republican controlled house has passed over 40 bills, many of them job bills. Harry Ried has refused to bring them to the floor in the Senate for a vote.

Now, Why is this? Perhaps it is Harry Ried in the Senate and the democrats on congress who don't give a rats azz about the country.......

They have totally ignored that there has been and still is an agenda put forth by the whitehouse and try to pretend they are in complete power. The bills they put forth they know will not pass or will be vetoed and that is exactly why they are doing them. So they can get political ammunition out of it. And the media is complicit.
They have refused to compromise or back when the Dems had a majority even debate or amend most important legislation.

Someone wrote an article stating they hoped Romney would win so that the Republicans wouldn't let the country fall. That's disgusting and I don't know how anyone could support that. I certainly can't.

Because Steve Belosi, you silly man, the word "jobs" attached to a ridiculous bill makes it no more like to help you gain employment, than the word "Thunderbird" on your car makes it likely to lay and egg ad fly away.

If you'd educate yourself -- just a little, people wouldn't have to explain these basic tenants to you.

In case you're even slower than we fear, try it this way. "How many jobs did you get out of the last 20 or so, 'jobs bills,' humm?" If the answer is less than one, then please admit that your have been a mindless drone and go find a nice job on a farm somewhere, far from the distractions of urban life which have so crippled you.

The reason Obama's latest blame someone else rant gained little traction is that we have heard this bluster before. Just one more stimulus, one more debt ceiling boost, one more giveaway to political cronies will put us over the top. Never mind the trillions Obama squandered on stimulus and political payoffs. Don't look at the exploding deficit. Just roll over and pass another to do list for the indifferent President.

You mean you were hit in the face with the truth and chose to ignore it?
,

never completely (or anywhere near) passed
,
Even you are not silly enough to misunderstand that the debt ceiling increase is for LEGISLATION THAT HAS ALREADY PASSED. The same suckers signed the bills who now don't want to pay for them.

Political cronies like big banks and wall street? Where is the bulk of their donations going now that candidate O is President O? Or oil company cronies who are sucking off the teet of the taxpayer?
Which is in parts and most has NEVER BEEN PASSED
Like the cushy job the gal in Fla got for stopping the Fla vote count? Wonder what Walker holds in store for the computer genius who "found just enough" extra votes for Republicans in one race?
The to do list doesn't need to sit there under your fridge magnet; it needs to be done.
Tell those lazy lying bastards that Bohner can't even stomach to look at anymore to get the lead out and get off their azz before we do fall off that cliff.
And read some economics while you're at it.
And maybe some history.
But listen to real news along with your propagandized reality (non reality) so called news shows.

More denials and apologies for Obama's failures. At the time it passed the stimulus was what the OA wanted. Now that it failed, well it was too small and incomplete. Is that why Obama ignored the economy for more than a year to focus on Obamacare? The stimulus was incomplete so let's turn to socializing medicine and nationalizing auto manufacturing.

Thanks for validating my point that Obama deals in the same tired rhetoric of blame shifting and the next stimulus will solve the problem. You recite it well.

Actually, Obama ran on changing HC and that was a big part of what he wanted to get started as soon as possible. His HC plan was number one until late 07 when Bernanke, Paulson and Bush told us that the banking industry is on the verge of collapse. Everything changed in an instant and billions of dollars for a stimulus was all that anyone talked about for over a year.....

In the end, it seems that Obama had too much on his plate and jobs have suffered......
