They should stop holding America hostage and go forward with projects that create jobs.

And Mr. President, you're the one that should be delivering this speech. Not me.

1. A "speech". Why? So folks like you can say, "oh, it's just words"?

I'd just like to know what, in practical terms, any president can do to make big business "create jobs". Some of the rhetoric around here is just so naive.

2. So the day of the 'bully pulpit' is over?

Funny. The last couple of Presidents sure used it.

3. You didn't answer my question. "It's just words". You know it, and I know it.

And you still didn't tell me what, in practical terms, can any president do to "MAKE" big business "create jobs"? :shrug: And if you're gonna say mean speeches from the "bully pulpit", then all I can do is laugh in your face.

6. I guess what you're saying is it doesn't matter who is elected president?

Quite a defeatist position.

7. The president is powerless. Ergo, he is my hero.
