Of 5 CBC Issues Brought to Obama, Obama Agrees to Zero So Far

SURPRISE!!

No, I'm not surprised.

Another day of hearing nothing..What else is new??/

OVERTHROW the Government!!!!! It seems to be getting that maybe that is the ONLY solution anymore. This is just SO insane with their "Ignore it, and it will GO away mentality". I listened to that troll Pawlenty, ALL this BS about OUR kids, future and BLAH, BLAH, BLAH....then ends like ALL GOPers tripe, "THE DEFICIT"!!!! You just have to listen to their CONTINUED BS...It's the SAME , OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. It NEVER changes. Get the Socialist Black guy and the DEFICIT, It's all they have. We are in very dangerous times. Our legislation will not move forward as long as GOPers spew their DEFICIT rhetoric Ad nauseam and the masses keep buying it.

What about our deficit for not working? Now they want to kill Medicare and ruin Social Security. People used to strike! Where are our guts! Lets run them over with a Steam Roller.

There are many of us that lost $100,000 per family. while they played.

When is enough enough in reverse. You think were going to let them forget us. Their playing games and have no chance in HELL!

Call there BLUFF and marched them out of Washington. There I said it!

I hope the Democrat wins in New York State, tonight. She is way ahead of the Republican and Tea Part candidate for Congress.

You tell them mistermunster!

I listen to her on the news last night. She's a COMPLETE wacko, like all those baggers.

You CANNOT "SAVE" your way to prosperity by cutting NEEDED programs for people. The 5000 pound dragon in the rooms spewing flames is Foreign AID, the DOD Budget and NO taxes on the WEALTHY. It's time to CUT and TAX there "FIRST". Then DEAL with the smaller waste elsewhere. Yet righties YELL OUR Troops, OUR Troops. Enough already with that. OUR TROOPS have been getting HOSED since DAY ONE. And are now nothing more than PAWNS being used in the chess game being run by suit wearing capitalist contractors of the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. Then they come home to what? A class "A" train wreck of a nation. Oh and has anybody really said squat about "OUTSOURCING" ??? not a peep. Wheres the outcry????? Nope, let not concentrate on the things that CAUSED and continue to cause problems. Lets just SQUEEZE the most vulnerable for EVERY cent and blame it on them.

Not to give them any ideas. They probably want our dogs, too! There that wicked and untrustworthy.

Munster for Congress!

They'd tell us IF YOUR HUNGRY, Eat your Dog or Cat.... mark my words, thats coming.

Well, its 5/27 and NOT A WORD on 589!! No talk, no plan, no action no discussion. but I bet I know what I am going to read on here after this post! Its it another doomed plan that was doomed from the beginning!

Yep or what someone recently told me. This person works for a politician (I don't think I need to say this was a Republican)and told me if one is starving there is always food in the garbage cans.

GOP is pulling back on HR 1745:

http://www.unemployed-friends2.org/t2421-gop-pulls-back-introduction-of-hr-1745#26713

Just read a news update regarding President Obama's agenda when he returns home from Europe tomorrow. Not a word about jobs. Not a word about 99ers or anything about HR 589. In fact, not a single item about the unemployment situation.

Of course, the first item will be visiting towns hit hard by the recent tornado outbreaks. That should be a priority and really does need attention. The only other thing which seems to be on the agenda is the 2012 Presidential race and issues with opposing candidates.

Let's hope somebody steps up and fights for our cause again soon. By somebody, I mean those in Congress. WE are all fighting for our cause, but we need support and need to see long term unemployment issues on somebody's agenda...somebody who can get the attention focused on our plight once more, and who can deliver the help we all need.

Well, just wanted to pass along the info. Have a good night!

Obama's answer, what unemployment???

It isn't only President Obama's 'answer' - it is also the answer of the House, the Senate, the states, the main stream media, corporations, the employed, the DOL, the Economic Advisors......................

The only people who care about unemployment in this country are the 30 million + that are unemployed or underemployed. You can't point your finger at one person - we are ignored by everyone!

I object! Munster for President!

This is turning into a "we love Munster thread" but we do so why hide it?

As my FIRST order as President I will authorized the FBI to DIG so far up the as!@# of EVERY corporate criminal RESPONSIBLE for the plundering and pillaging of our economic foundation. Their assets and accounts SEIZED to be re-distributed to the NEEDS of helping the American people who have been victimized by their greed, then they will have their citizenship PERMANENTLY REVOKED and BANISHED from these shores. The GOP will BE DISBANDED AND all Republican and Blue Dog Dem members of Congress will be REQUIRED under the penalty of LIFE imprisonment to SUBMIT to being put on PUBLIC DISPLAY daily while locked in stocks in the public squares so the PEOPLE may GIVE back what they have been INFLECTED with by those in Congress for the term of 2 YEARS. They will also be restricted from having ANY job above Burger flipper for the rest of their lives. All lobbyist WILL be FORCEABLY PURGED from the bowels of Washington DC. The DOD Budget WILL BE CUT 75% and ALL involvement in NATION BUILDING WILL BE STOPPED. No MEDIA outlet in the USA WILL BE ALLOWED to be OWNED or Operated by FOREIGN Influences. They WILL be REQUIRED to REPORT "FACTS" ONLY anything else will be handed over to Entertainment TONIGHT where it belongs. Limbaugh and ALL his ilk will be brought up on HATE CRIMES. All manufactured goods from OUTSIDE the USA will BE STOPPED and any US Company using outsourced workers WILL BE SHUT DOWN unless they hire US workers and GIVE them a "LIVABLE" wage. And EVERY US citizen will be given A decent Job, Food, healthcare, and a place to live if they DO NOT have one. And gas will be dropped to $1.25 a gallon "and the list GOES ON!

Goodnight and God Bless America

As for this humor vs the title of this topic! I am broke and scared like many others and I alo am p'ssed that it appears Lee is doing the same thing that stabenow's bill did. Dying in committee. I know, I'll see comments again , Oh! We got to e-mail, write, fax and keep working, we are not working hard enough! Da dada da da... Also I'll read Oh! Lee is working hard she is doing this and doing that! Right! So did stabenow. Half hearted effort. But many want to shove down our throats how great Lee is working and yet NOTHING, Nada, Not a word of hope or optimism. Merger 1745 with 589.. Oh boy, surely thats what they have to do. And all the fixes that NEVER come up on the table. NOTHING... Before you tell me I shouldn't feel this way or that way and Oh I am such a nasty person, hello! tell me positive results that leads to the possibility that 589 is coming out of committee and will be debated.. DON"T TELL ME ITS THOSE NASTY REPUBS. HELL, i KNOW ABOUT THEM. THATS NOT NEW. tHATS THE HURDLE TO GET OVER. Lets see, I heard Lee boy she is good, Oh! When she talks they listen and she'll get it done. But yet, Nothing, news or otherwise. NO PLAN OF ACTION TO EVEN TO TRY TO GET IT TO THE FLOOR! Stabenow at least tried that! I think I read Lee introduced hundreds of bills and maybe had 1 passed. and 3 made it to the floor! So where is any hope with a party that wants the unemployed to die and also maybe a bill passed if your unemployed you get to go on a cruise and dumped on an island to survive.And the dems. well running to what suites them best and support only groups that can stand a chance of getting them reelected. Like illegals, and the foreign countries obama is giving billions to BTW! Yes fox also is a mean spirited network but this morning the commentators had the nerve to say "Why is Obama giving all this aid (Billions) to middle eastern countries when they should be taking care of unemployed Americans and this countries problems". I guess 1 good statement at least from them. . They suit his purpose more than Americas unemployed. So deporting us is the only plan they both agree on! While we (or some ) sit on another holiday empty, and no where to go and money to buy food to cook out. another wonderful holiday! Thanks! Angry and hurt and in need!

Welcome to the NEW ROMAN EMPIRE!!!!!

Hail to the Chief!

What will be your partys name? So I know who to vote for. I AM IN!!

Me too! I want to be your press secretary so my PR experience can be used for something important.

Glad that it is now humerus to us too! Boy if all this is so funny to us, then we must not really need benefits that badly!

Why aren't we allowed to take several minutes out of our day to have a laugh for ourselves! We need it and deserve it!

Sorry if it offends you, but thinking about it constantly is going to kill us. WE need this just as much as you do, but dwelling on it and letting it take over our lives with negativity is going to make us even more miserable than we already are!
