Jobs 'right now' had to wait for Obama's August vacation to conclude, and for over 2.5 years of his first, and hopefully last, term of office.
Then 'right now' got serious in the speech to Congress in early September, where he actually said 'right now' seven times.
News outlets reported Obama actually had a bill on paper to introduce on the day of the speech.
Obama waved around for the cameras over a hundred pages of something he claimed was the jobs bill.
But despite 'right now' a bill hasn't been introduced in the House, and now Democrats in the Senate expect to have a bill sometime in October, about a month from the fierce urgency of 'right now'.
Andrew Malcolm ridicules the whole thing here in The Los Angeles Times:
Well, here we are on the next Monday after that next Monday and we've just learned from the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, Dick Durbin, that actually it seems that body won't really be seriously getting into the legislation for a while yet. The Senate has some other more important business to handle. And then there's this month's congressional vacation, which in Washington is called "a recess," like elementary school.
Communist idlers.
Oh yeah. Great shot of Obama doing The Mussolini, too:
