Just Got This E-Mail Message From The President - The Subject Line Was: "Frustrated"........

[global1]

Today I asked for a joint session of Congress where I will lay out a clear plan to get Americans back to work. Next week, I will deliver the details of the plan and call on lawmakers to pass it.

Whether they will do the job they were elected to do is ultimately up to them.

But both you and I can pressure them to do the right thing. We can send the message that the American people are playing by the rules and meeting their responsibilities -- and it's time for our leaders in Congress to meet theirs.

And we must hold them accountable if they don't.

So I'm asking you to stand with me in calling on Congress to step up and take action on jobs:

No matter how things go in the weeks and months ahead, this will be an important challenge for our organization.

It's been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on.

I know that you're frustrated by that. I am, too.

That's why I'm putting forward a set of bipartisan proposals to help grow the economy and create jobs -- that means strengthening our small businesses, giving needed breaks to middle-class families, while taking responsible steps to bring down our deficit.

I'm asking lawmakers to look past short-term politics and take action on that plan. But we've got to do this together.

I will deliver this message to Congress next week, but I'm asking you to stand alongside me today:

More to come,

Barack

1. Ya know what? I got that email; I clicked the link, & filled in my name to Stand With The President

Please be generous with the derision, disdain, and contempt you heap on me, DU Style!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. No disdain from me...

I respect what you did.

And I respect what Obama did, too.

I found myself quite moved by that email. I think he should do that sort of thing more often...

[NBachers]

4. Yeah, thanks, California Peggy- I wouldn't have expected it from you, anyway

You're one of the reasonable, sane majority around here . . . and always a pleasure to see what you say, especially when you agree with me . . . :fistbump:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. LOL!

Of course I agree with you.............this time...

;-)

:fistbump:

3. that's a bit vague to get behind

6. Ed Schultz and guests laid it out crystal clear, he made the Thugs look disinterested in jobs nt

[LiberalFighter]

12. They wanted President Obama to provide his plan for jobs

And they intend to make him a one term President.

They can't have it both ways.

8. Jeebus. What might he do you can get behind? Maybe wait for

what he says? And then, if results aren't instantaneous, we're all doomed?
I'm so tired, by this reaction and so many others.

7. Rec'd! I just saw this also; he's calling them out. nt

9. I got the same e-mail...

I have already done what he had asked me to do before making it appear that I had to get behind his idea. If you consider what this e-mail represents, it appeared to be is an attempt to support a position I long ago wrote many many letters about.

I wrote, called and shamed all the people already.

Then, I deleted it. That's because I'm waiting for somebody to tell me to do something I haven't done yet, while busting my ass locally (where all of this trickles down).

Fair enough... then I deleted it.

10. I stand with President Obama and will give all the money I can afford

In addition to phonebanking, door-knocking and any other form of support his re-election effort needs!
OBAMA 2012!!!!
