The really fucked up part is ... It doesn't matter what day it is (although Monday is a Holiday, and there is nothing going on Tuesday, so why not give it then? Hey, if it's so fucking important for the country, why can't he cut his vacation short 1 day and give it tomorrow?) ... it won't do a fucking thing. It's just a damn speech. He could fucking summon the media to his vacation spot, take 30 minutes out of his day and give it at any time. There is no need for him to address Congress. He isn't actually going to submit anything, it's just fucking talk. He can do that anywhere. And from what the talking heaRAB are saying, what he will propose (an infrastructure bank ... oh lord, another "bank" that the government will run), isn't even going to do shit for a long time ...
The White House hasn't divulged the contents of the package that Obama is to unveil in an address to a joint session of Congress next week. But the president has pushed the idea of an infrastructure bank in recent speeches and has praised Senate and House bills that create such a government-sponsored lending institution.
Whether the bank, which would need time to organize, could have any real impact on the jobs situation in the coming year — and particularly before the Noveraber 2012 elections — is in dispute.
Obama seems to think it would.
"We've got the potential to create an infrastructure bank that could put construction workers to work right now, rebuilding our roaRAB and our bridges and our vital infrastructure all across the country," he said at a news conference in July.
But Janet Kavinoky, director of infrastructure issues at the U.S. Charaber of Commerce, cautioned that "even in the next two years I don't believe the bank is going to be that kind of job creator."
