Obama-Nomics: Half Full, Half Empty, or Just Half Azzed?

Well – another day, another miserable US jobs report, another stock market retreat, and yet another Obama climb-down.

At least this time the climb-down was not induced by Speak Boehner’s shadow.

Spooked by the latest abysmal jobs numbers, the President suddenly decided to cave in to pressure from big business and withdraw the EPA’s proposed revisions in the (seriously outdated) 15-year old standards for US ozone emissions.

The new EPA regulations were only going to take effect in 2015. But apparently Obama felt the need to get a jump on the Congress with at least some kind of new “jobs" policy on his own – no matter how modest.

After all, it only amounts to saving a highly-uncertain number of non-green jobs that are probably not long for this world anyway, at the risk of exposing thousands of asthmatic children to dangerous levels of ozone.

“Green jobs” and “health care reform” indeed.

Of course the President did promise to review this policy climb-down in two years.

Does that commitment strike anyone else out there as just a little presumptuous?

Anyway, at least we now finally know for sure who President Obama will be running against next year.

Himself.

If he runs against himself, with any luck at all they'll both lose

All these people keep saying the market is down because of Obama and not taking in account the other 99% of the things that are happening here and around the world.

Again Obama will present a "Jobs" proposal while our companies are struggling with the ambiguity of our government, the economy is slowing down world wide and congress along with Obama has yet injected any confidence into the system to make it even feel falsely positive.

The jobs stuff will do nothing more than shift money around and spend more while the republicans in the house and for that matter in the senate do nothing except to do the same political posturing and then cave in near the last minute.

No matter how you look at it, his lack of leadership is the same lack of leadership we have in this entire country with no one wanting to step forward and actually fight for only or two issues - this is especially true for the republican candidates.
