Obama wants 2 million jobs by 2110

Nov. 24, 2008 – Today, when President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden announce their hand-picked economic team, the next hurdle will be explaining how they will accomplish Obama’s plan to add 2.5 million jobs to the workforce.
Where will these jobs come from and how will he do it? Obama is proposing a two-year initiative to put Americans to work here at home rebuilding the nation’s crumbling infrastructure. It’s work that needs to be done, and his plan isn’t a “new” idea, but it could be the largest proposed spending program since President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. (Estimates have been as high as $500 billion) But can a stimulus of this nature work in today’s employment environment?
That will be one of the first challenges facing his newly appointed economic team.
During the president-elect’s weekly radio address, he said he’s already instructed the team that jobs are a priority. “We’ll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels; fuel-efficient cars and the alternative energy technologies that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years ahead.”
The folks Obama plans to announce later today, along with Timothy Geithner, who’s been tapped to fill the top job as Treasury secretary, will be charged with making all this happen. But two important questions will remain once the team is put in place: How much will it cost to create 2.5 million new jobs and how will the task be accomplished?
I doubt either question will have easy answers.
Do you think jobs should be the first issue on the new president’s agenda?
By the way Alex
Do you realise that the bit about ” The right to life for every human being ” scared the hell out of many women,it is code speak for oulawing abortion.Taditional family values is a matter of conjecture – whose family values ?
WFT BET!!!
where’s my response to jfffnn.
One last thing, why are you’ll still crying about the racial motivates of the “white man”. Obama is president. He won because of the white vote. Enjoy. Stop tripping. He can’t be held down the “Good Old Boys”.

you have a good point there alex, all the conspiracy theorists are going to run out of material , not to mention the comedians too.!! obama is difficult to
make fun of. however the rot has is setting in, as bad habits run deep… obama is now the “african spear chucker “according to some bright sparks on bet..and they arent the usual suspects putting that down.. lol!! racism has many heads its not as simple as they say it is… never was.
by the way for those of you on here who called obama’s father an “abseentee sperm donor”, perhaps you would care to take a look at some pictures of obama and his sperm donor on bet or go to obama for america to check on there.?as i said, racism doesnt have to be from the obvious, i wonder if his father would have been a sperm donor if he wasnt an african?. lol!! hypocracy is not just a whitemans disease… .
Olounwa,
Taking pictures of a man with his biological son is NOT the same as being there to teach him to ride his bike, tie a tie, fight back on the school yard, teach him to drive, coach him on his first date, help with homework, respect his mother, BE HIS ROLE MODEL, etc… bottom line President elect Obama’s father was NOT there. He openly admits without being disrespectful of his Kenyan father that his American mother and mostly grandmother raised him. This happens in all races not just African American. Nevertheless, he is an African American who will become a phenomenal leader of the WORLD and who will serve ALL races well.
well, justin stop calling obama’s father a sperm donor!!. ridiculous!!. if not for his fathers imput, black america would have nothing to be weeping about…
to all the fools calling obama’s father a sperm donor..not only are you desrespectful but you are also ungrateful.. and who are any of you anyway?. if not for obama senior none of you would have mouth to talk… and to the “chief cook and bottle washer “of bad mouthing others and complaining when its thrown back at him should take note.. obama respects who he is in all its diversity … it has taken him to the presidency.. you might like to take a leaf out of his book..

olounwa,
You have too much nerve! Telling us to stop calling Obama’s father a sperm donor when that’s all he contributed to the man that Obama is today and yet you continue to DISRESPECT black American’s at every turn. What a big hypocrite you are! You yourself need to take a leaf out of his book and learn to embrace diversity and not to create further discord with all your constant black America bashing. You are really a piece of work! You can’t have it both ways. Obama’s parentage proves that NOT all African men take parenting seriously (contrary to one of your prior rantings).
stop entertaining olounwa, he/she is obviously old and bitter. don’t you read her crazy comments?
enough said.
Jiffn said….”2 ) A small non invasive government ? That is out of the question when many in government are trying too tell women what they can’t do with thier bodies and saying who can marry who.”
.
Jiffn also said…”Do you realise that the bit about ” The right to life for every human being ” scared the hell out of many women,it is code speak for oulawing abortion”
.
JIffn do you believe we should have any restrictions on abortions? Just Curious?
Rednblack
Women should/will decide if and when they will go the full term of gestation, not men.A Women is her own person,not the property of any man.
I will put it to you this way,what one woman won’t do another one will;it’s a matter of finding the woman that will.
THE BASIC ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS NO.
Jifffnn: Thanks for responding and for your truthfulness.
.
During Med School I performed several abortions as part of my training……I was never the same after those experiences. I will be forever haunted by the little arms and legs I dismembered.
.
I hope one day you will change your mind.

A person changing their is always possible.However I am a man,gestation ain’t in the cards for me.My basic point is that it’s her body therefore her choice.I have no medical training so I will not be performing that procedure
Conservatism calls for less government spending while Obama is proposing billions of new government spending.
Obama’s plans to create all those jobs are premised on government jobs instead of the free market.
As a conservative myself, I believe in the free market instead of government taking taxpayers’ dollars for bailouts and welfare.
Hi my name is benjamin sims and really need to talk to u because i am reall going throug a lot of street rat know and that i could reall use your help please i need u and GOD ! blese u
THANK YOU!!!….
I believe in order to incorporate new jobs we must first be prepared to meet those new jobs. We must begin by having great leaders of all times, great benefits, incentives, and first but not least WE must all be compensated by our worth and professionalism. JOBS yes, BETTER pay YES, that should keep us all prideful to be AMERICANS and at HOME! I look forward to seeing the great plans unveil in the near future. MY prayer is that GOD’s blessing be with our President Barack H. Obama.
Obama said he was looking to the unions for good paying jobs to put people to work,all I see is scab non-union low paying companies getting the work that will America back on it’s feet real quick.
