Obama Wants to Create More Jobs By Spending More

Oh, and of course he wants to blame Republicans if the bill doesn't pass. Even if it does pass, and it fails, the Republicans will still be blamed.

"We're going to see if we've got some straight shooters in Congress. We're going to see if Congressional Republicans will put country before party," Obama said recently.   

Expect to hear more of that from the president, Scott. He's going to take his message on the road in a series of speeches that advisors say will be all about his plan versus the Republicans plan to fix the economy.
