Obama Promises Full Recovery for Employment
By JACKIE CALMES

WASHINGTON — President Obama went to a busy window-manufacturing plant near here on Friday to promote his economic policies and his new team of advisers as the monthly jobs report reflected only modest employment growth.

“We will not rest until we have fully recovered from this recession,” the president told workers.

Only hours earlier, the chairman of the Federal Reserve told Congress that while he expected the economy to be “moderately stronger” this year, it would be several years before the jobless rate fell to more normal levels.

That suggests that Mr. Obama is likely to face relatively high unemployment rates for the rest of his term. In responding, the president and his economic advisers will focus on getting the most bang for the buck from existing stimulus measures. New initiatives will tend not to carry a big price tag that adds to the growing national debt, officials say.

For example, aides say, Mr. Obama is exploring whether to seek an overhaul of the corporate tax system by closing myriad tax breaks and using the savings to cut business taxes....

1. "Obama Promises"

[golddigger]

2. Must be close to election time.

[ohheckyeah]

3. Didn't he just rest

on vacation? :-)

4. Where does it say he promises?

It doesn't. False headline by the writer. The comment is:

“We will not rest until we have fully recovered from this recession,” the president told workers.

Which means they will keep trying to bring the recovery forward. Just more Obama bashing.

Unrec.

[PSPS]

6. Maybe so. But we all know his understanding of the word "we" doesn't include 98% of the country.

But it does include the GOP and his benefactors, so that's all that matters to him.

[jaxx]

8. I doubt it.

Since 85% of Democrats approve of the President your 98% number is all wet.

[Xicano]

7. Stating: "We will not rest until" is indeed making a promise

Just like when General MacArthur stated: "I Shall Return" was a promise to the Philippines.

Any other spin you wish to inject?

[jaxx]

9. I promise = I promise.

We will not rest = we will keep on trying.

There is no promise other than to work to recover the economy. Try not bashing, it's healthy.

[Xicano]

10. And Stating "We Will Not Rest Until" Is ALSO Making a Promise

Sorry if the english language disappoints you.

11. It's making a promise not to rest until it happens. Not that it will happen.

Continuing to not rest indefinitely is completely consistent with what he said, if that is what it takes.

Sorry if the English language disappoints you.

[Xicano]

13. Like I said. It = making a promise.

As you yourself just agreed. n/t

[jaxx]

12. And all this time I thought it meant we won't sit on our asses and

bitch about it, but will try to keep it improving.

The english language is easily understood unless you are trying to make up new meanings to words.

[Xicano]

14. Its no surprise he just made a promise we all know is just a bunch of hot air.

Its not like he hasn't done that already a bunch of times. No need to be upset at those pointing out the truth.

n/t

[jaxx]

15. Truth on here has become an elusive commodity.

Hot air however is evident in every Obama bash.

5. Promises, promises.
