I didn’t watch the President’s address to Congress and the nation last night, mostly because I knew what he was going to say. Since I don’t believe he can do much to create jobs, what’s the use of wasting time I could be reading more interesting fiction instead. I also got an email from him just before the speech which revealed his real reason for his proposals last night;<\/p>\n
Jonn —<\/p>\n
I’m about to head to the Capitol to ask Congress to act on my plan to put Americans back to work.<\/p>\n
Before I do, I wanted to write you directly to remind you that the fight to create jobs — and provide the kind of economic security for middle-class families that’s been slipping away over the last decade — won’t begin or end with the speech I give tonight.<\/p>\n
What happens will be up to you. In the coming days and weeks, it will be up to you to pressure Congress to act — or hold them accountable if they do not.<\/p>\n
If you’re with me, let me know. And the campaign will make sure you are looped into our efforts to support this plan.<\/p>\n
Talk to you soon,<\/p>\n
Barack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He’s only trying to shift blame for the economy onto Congress before the next election. He knows Congress won’t approve his proposal given the current climate to balance the budget, so when they don’t pass it, he can blame Congress.<\/p>\n
