    The economy is barely growing, thanks to this man's anti-business, anti-individual rights policies. What is this we knew the road back would be long and hard? He told us unemployment would not go above 8%. It has never been less than 8% since. The added jobs in manufacturing are due to our own devalued currency and the growth in the rest of the world, not due to anything BO has done. He has never sent Congress a budget to reduce the deficit, contrary to his lie here. He totally does not get it. It is the private sector, not the parasitic government sector, that produces jobs. The last thing we need is bigger local, state, and federal government. The last thing we need is another housing bubble, which is what he is trying to create with his $3000 refinance scheme, which will not work anyway because few people can get financing now. I am a small business owner and I am not going to hire an employee because of a tax break. I just want the governments off my back. I am tired of being an unpaid payroll tax slave. And as much as I think of veterans (I am one), it is not my duty to hire a veteran unless business conditions make it rational for me to do so.

    Obama feeds emotions and ignores rational thinking. The future of America lies with people pursuing their rational dreams. More often than not, this is what people do when they manage their own lives. Central planners from Washington cannot micromanage our lives better than we can live them ourselves.

    I think it is a good idea to hire veterans, but where? Obama has messed up the economy so bad there are not jobs.

    He sure has. While veterans are great people, when the rules are as uncertain as they have been under Obama and the Democrat Congresses of years from 2007 through 2010 and the Democrat Senate since, it is very hard for businesses to commit to hiring someone who will take a year or so to be trained enough in their operations to add much to the bottom line, if that is even possible when contract law is violated (GM), banks are forced to take loans they do not want and do not need, but must pay interest on, money is thrown at green energy companies who cannot compete in the market, oil and many other prices surge because the government is printing trains full of money, pipelines cannot be built for totally irrational reasons, our refineries are shutting down, the coal industry is being systematically bankrupted, and no one is allowed to develop the rich oil and gas deposits on the absurdly huge tracts of federal land and little off-shore development is allowed either. Insane rulings come down from the NLRB to shut down plane production by Boeing in South Carolina because the workers there voted to de-certify the union. The costs of gold-plated ObamaCare health insurance policies are skyrocketing, while its added taxes suppress profits and hiring in medical industries.

    It is amazing that anyone lets BO get away with pretending that he is creating jobs.

    President Obama knows it's the right thing to do to help our great men and women. I just hope they understand he is a caring and compassion leader compare to Mitt Romney.

    Obama is not proposing to do anything himself. He simply proposing that private industry do more to hire veterans. Many of the problems of needed certifications and licenses are actually imposed by governments, so government can and should reform their misguided policies that make it harder for individuals to get jobs. The Institute for Justice is working hard all the time trying to so reform job-killing governments.

    His duty is not to create job, but to give businesses small or large, a push if they needed a helping hand. And implement policies that is healthy and right for both businesses and consumers.

    But there are many that have been unemployed that support families and they have no income, they need work too, not to take away the great sacrafices made by our people intergrating back into society.

    Why are you people so damn hard on the President! Is it because he is the first Black President. The President just been in the White for just less than 4yrs and you all want him to work over night miracles. The Republicans was in office for 8 long years and they do nothing to help these people. Come on, have a heart for President, he doing much more than you think!

    Here is a fact about this scum-bag's job creations:

    A recent report by ABC has confirmed what many have claimed for years; infrastructure jobs are going directly to foreign countries, particularly China.

    Regardless of the fact that US law usually requires American companies to be picked first for infrastructure jobs, multiple Chinese companies are currently working on U.S. bridges and roads throughout the country.

    During the Viet Nam area business were made to rehire previous employes who were drafted and now out of the service so I got my good paying job at Boeing back. Course the 747 was starting to roll off the lines and thousands of people were needed so I would have been hired anyway. Either way I was more than glad to be out of the jungle and back home job or not.

    Yes you worthless Rep. You started this one for your own greed so give them a job.

    Hell Yes!!! This is a good idea we need to hire our own people instead of bringing them in from India or China or exporting our jobs to India or China or where ever. The point is America needs to put Americans back to work!!!!
