    I've worked with a lot of high-ranking executives in my career and not ONE of them would go off on vacation with something this big hanging over their heads.

    Obama should've not only cancelled his umpteenth vacation this year (not like he'd had to pay a cancellation fee)... he should've requested congress to cut theirs short so they could all get back to work on salvaging what's left of our economy. At least he would've LOOKED LIKE he was serious about keeping his job.

    Leaks mean one thing... 'his' plan is already forumulated and somebody besides him is creating it.

    "I can show you on the back of an envelope!"

    Yeah, it's that simple when stooges are doing all the gruntwork for you. Too bad you didn't train 'em to keep their mouths shut and do the same yourself. Making the whole administration look like a bunch of boobs.

    If the president comes out with a specific plan of that nature, it actually might become popular.

    If he puts out a really vague plan and decides to let consensus ferment, then it will fail like the rest of his economic proposals.

    I didnt read the OP. Im gonna guess at what Obamas plan is, and then Ill read it to see if Im correct.

    Obamas Plan
    1) Raise Taxes in a Recession/Depression
    2) Tell Lies, like Its Bush's fault, and "We're not raising taxes, we're closing loop holes."
    3) Claim victory once America Explodes.

    Don't forget another bailout. This one 'for states to protect public sector jobs.'' (read: union jobs)

    Nothing new here...

    If someone is going to actually articulate an active, rather than passive solution to unemployment and economic malaise, I'm always going to hear them out before I dismiss it.

    Those details may or may not be accurate....and I have a feeling that if they are actually putting a plan together, that the details are still in flux until they decide on the public release of the plan.

    "Streamlining the patent application process"

    Now there's one that'll put a lot of people back to work. :rolleyes:

    Ever notice when Obama talks about job creation, he always talks about road repair and construction? Never mentions jobs for engineers, scientists, IT specialists... it's always low-paying, manual labor jobs he mentions.

    Wonder why that is? Makes it appear he wants to keep everybody down... where they belong. This seems to be a pattern with the Democrats.

    Another stimulus. Color me surprised. Nevermind, we just got downgraded b/c of our spending. No, we need to spend more.

    The zombies will be by shortly to explain how awesome it is....

    You think he'll be working on it while he's on vacation? I can't see how he could avoid it. Hopefully he'll have something on paper by the time he gives that speech. It would be nice to see some explanation about exactly how he thinks these 'new' ideas will work.

    We already KNOW what the plan is...It will be the same as the last few score 'plans'..

    1. He will give a speech
    2. He will blame Bush, the Tea Party and probably Bigfoot...anyone but himself
    3. He will demand new spending as 'balance', 'investment' or whatever new phrase he can cook up to mean the same thing
    4. He will demand tax increases while offering faux cuts scheduled way in the future.
    5. All 'Facts' used will be shady and all numbers imaginary
    6. He will follow up with campaign trips to the country on the taxpayer dime to sell the scheme
    7. It will be dead on arrival, and nothing will exist that is written down or as legislation.

    Maybe it is your White House Insider leaking this info.

    I jest. Okay, not really. I am not sure how a "leak" means someone else is creating it. Perhaps it is only through hyper partisanship that a post with an accusation that is preposterous and not rooted in fact or reality can happen.

    I don't think Obama is personally putting it together. But he will obviously be discussing it with his advisers and signing off on it.

    Well. I say, where's the beef, Obama?


    I would say that his team could possibly come up with a good, detailed plan.....we'll see......

    There is a word left out the payroll tax statement in the article. The upcoming jobs proposal will include extension and further implementation of payroll tax cuts. The Associated Press is the more credible source:

    I'm not sure we want to give Obama another trillion to study drunken Chinese prostitutes or the athletic ability of shrimp on a treadmill.

    Nor do I want to "protect" government jobs.

    We need to keep downsizing the public employees.

    Really? You hear Ron Paul and John Boehner out? Of course, you did. Raise taxes, increase spending, blame Bush. The only new part of the plan is convincing people he's never actually been to Washington so nothing is his fault.

    The last thing Obama wrote down on a piece of paper ended up being about 2000 pages, stunk to high heavens, and was shoved down our throats.
