We Need Jobs, Not Another "Commission" And Definitely NOT Another Speech!

Oh, c'mon Mr. President. Over the past three years you've done the following:
  1. Ran for office ... and were elected! ... based on your claimed expertise at knowing both what was wrong with our economy/jobs AND how to fix it.
  2. You tried stimuli that you promised would keep unemployment under 8% and lower it from there dramatically.
  3. When your stimuli didn't fix it you formed the first of two commissions whose recommendations you ignored. You ignored the recommendations of your own(!) commission!!!
  4. You tried more stimulus.
  5. When more stimulus didn't work you formed another commission whose recommendations you also ignored!!! This time you even took it upon yourself to insult the opposition rather than practice what you preach about getting along.
  6. And how many speeches have you given telling us that you knew what was wrong and that the next thing you were going to do would definitely fix it? Gads! It has to be in the dozens!!!
Here we go with ANOTHER speech, more promises and what, a third commission ... whose recommendations you'll ignore again if they don't recommend things consistent with what you want to do?

President Obama, your promises, lack of results and, in fact, your presidency are getting a bit tiresome. Hope is all but gone for this term and we're ready for REAL change. Change that actually fixes things.
