Ohio River Bridge...Loving It!

[FlyLie]

I LOVE IT!!!
Now don't take it the wrong way, I don't support the Presidents Jobs bill, but I do love a good fight, and it looks like he brought it home to Ohio/Kentucky on this one. But, what about a much needed BRIDGE LINKING INDIANA TO KENTUCKY!

PS, who was that "short term politician from WV, what was his name? Bet he could have gotten bridges built across the mighty Ohio, abit it an amendment to another bill!! Glad I never bought a horse from that man.


(AP) CINCINNATI ? Needling his top Republican adversaries on their own turf, President Barack Obama stood in the shadow of an outdated and heavily used Ohio River bridge Thursday and called his rivals out by name to demand action on his $447 billion jobs bill.

Making a point to choose a bridge linking House Speaker John Boehner's home state of Ohio with Kentucky, the home of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, Obama struck a cheeky tone that underscored the politics of the moment.

"Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell, help us rebuild this bridge," he declared. "Help us rebuild America. Help us put construction workers back to work. Pass this bill."

The president's incursion into northern Kentucky and southern Ohio is one of his most direct and defiant challenges to leaders of the opposition party. And it illustrated a desire by the president's advisers to distinguish him from Republicans and to get them to share some of the blame for the struggling economy.

Oh my gosh that speech made me sick! This guy is so full of it his eyes are brown! I thought the first "shovel ready" stimulus was supposed to get the economy and his union buddies working. What happened? Why didn't that bridge get worked on or fixed then? Did it? I don't drive that road so I have no idea if there was any work done there?
His voice and speech habits make me gag!! Please go away!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I got an idea.

Stop the flipping politics and give us the money to fix the bridge which does have an impact on local economy and transportation as a whole.

Delink it it from everything, and answer the flippin question. "My bridge is broke, and I need it fixed, will the US stand up and fix this infrastructure?"

The heck with all the polititcal agendas, delink it and answer it.

Mitch....shut up! Obama...get a life, quit playing games and support America with some bucks to fix our infrastructurre, now is not the time to play games!".

Every once in a while I'd like to have a beer with this puke and reserve the right to slap him up alongside the head to get him focused on basics.

He was campaigning in Ohio when the bridge belonged to KY. and it is 4 years before it is to be shovel ready!

DJD--the stimulus did supply the economy with work

the congressional budget office states that the stim created or saved 1.3-3.6 million jobs

during this year alone the stim created 555,000 jobs according to politifact

before obama took office the economy had lost 3.1 million jobs and lost another 2 million jobs in the 3 months after obama took office before any of his policies were in place

in january 2009 the economy lost 820,000 jobs and by june that number was cut in half and by november 50000 jobs were created

the dow in the beginning of 2009 was at 6000 and at the end of 09 was over 10000

in 2009 first quarter GDP was -6.4% and increased to +5.4% by the end of that year

The stimulus was never ment to magically undo the horrible bush mess it was ment to stop the bleeding before the country went into full depression--and it worked!

Solyndra got more money than Ky received in stimulus.

Everytime zero opens his mouth the market crashes. This is what happens when a community organizer who belongs to a racist chicago church becomes president.

Luckily it looks more and more like hillary will challenge him in the primary. Must be terrible to have the most admired democrat come out and say your plan won't work.

Vetbass,

I don't know where you got your Dow numbers from, but the NYSE thinks the Dow was at 9,034.69 on January 2, 2009, went to a low of 6,626.94 on March 6, 2009, and recovered to 10,428.05 on December 31, 2009. The link below takes you to the Dow history. Just my opinion but if money is the root of all evil what does it say about your average politician since they will do almost anything for a large donation.

We got the money to build a bridge.............We have over 60 million secured just from donations alone. The rest I'm sure Barry would give us, it makes HIM look good, with his shovel ready CRAP. River Fields is the problem...

WE ALSO HAD IT SECURED FROM THE GOVERNMENT AS ANN NORTHUP WORKED HER BUTT OFF TO GET IT. THEN THAT MARVIN THE MARTIAN TREE HUGGING RIVER FIELDS LOVIN, POCKET LINING IDIOT JOHN YARMOUTH GAVE IT ''''''AWAY''''.

''Friends don't let friend's vote Democrat''

Obama is the biggest flippin JOKE to ever be a President, just his voice now or watching clips of that George Jefferson walk he's sporting makes me wanna PUKE.

Please dear God anybody, I mean ANYBODY but this moron in 2012........AMEN!

BTW , John Yardmouth has had his lips permantly attached to Barry's arse since he took office. Dude I'm glad you ae loving people having to drive 2 and 3 hours instead of 20 minutes, I know some people that would love to ring your neck if you go down on the Kennedy and wave that sign at rush hour..

I'm just not convinced it worked and a lot of folks agree since his reelection chances are dwindling. The dem party is scared.
I don't have the numbers but if everything worked why is he asking for more? I remember reading and hearing how the numbers of his job creation plans are skewed in his favor so I just figure why not see how the country is now. I see unemployment higher than he said it ever would be and it has hovered around that figure even though he said it wouldn't. I see his solyndra debacle, our. our rating reduced, trillions more debt and bigger gubment. I don't see how what he has done could be labeled as it worked.

Obama...get a life, quit playing games and support America with some bucks to fix our infrastructurre, now is not the time to play games!".

Oh c'mon Hurricane..."Nobama's got a dream!"

Seriously though...instead of Nobama getting life and stopping his lips from spewing forth nothing at all, I'd be very happy to see him resign in mid-stream...I realize that would leave us with Biden, but as we all already know....anyone could do better than Nobama.

I see his solyndra debacle, our credit rating reduced, trillions more debt and bigger gubment, a healthcare law that is a mistake, more news of banks in trouble and I don't see how what he has done could be labeled as it worked.
