Update with video
Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

HERE’S THE SCRIPT OF PBO’S COMMENT ON PRIVATE SECTOR. STATEMENT:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/06/08/remarks-president
THE MEDIA HAS ACCESS TO THE SAME SCRIPT, MIND YOU, BUT BEING THE UTTER, USELESS, SHAMEFUL, LYING, NCOMPETENT HACKS THAT THEY ARE…
THE PRESIDNET: […] What I’ve said is, let’s make long-term spending cuts; let’s initiate long-term reforms; let’s reduce our health care spending; let’s make sure that we’ve got a pathway, a glide-path to fiscal responsibility, but at the same time, let’s not underinvest in the things that we need to do right now to grow. And that recipe of short-term investments in growth and jobs with a long-term path of fiscal responsibility is the right approach to take for, I think, not only the United States but also for Europe.
Q What about the Republicans saying that you’re blaming the Europeans for the failures of your own policies?
THE PRESIDENT: The truth of the matter is that, as I said, we’ve created 4.3 million jobs over the last 27 months, over 800,000 just this year alone. The private sector is doing fine. Where we’re seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government — oftentimes, cuts initiated by governors or mayors who are not getting the kind of help that they have in the past from the federal government and who don’t have the same kind of flexibility as the federal government in dealing with fewer revenues coming in.
And so, if Republicans want to be helpful, if they really want to move forward and put people back to work, what they should be thinking about is, how do we help state and local governments and how do we help the construction industry. Because the recipes that they’re promoting are basically the kinds of policies that would add weakness to the economy, would result in further layoffs, would not provide relief in the housing market, and would result, I think most economists estimate, in lower growth and fewer jobs, not more.
UMMMMMMMMMMMMM, OK, ROMNEY
Mitt Romney: American don’t need no stankin’ police; i’ll do it!
REPOST
Just what do you think the President can do without ANY leadership and cooperation from CONGRESS, IDIOTS?
You better tell the TRUTH, Mr. President. The media will NOT report the truth about how hard you have been working to get CONGRESS to get off the ASSES and do their jobs
Posting the video of PBO’s speech at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas yesterday
Here comes the stupidity from the media…
GET TO STEPPIN’ CONGRESS; PASS THE AMERICAN JOBS ACT NOW, DAMMIT!
Lay it out there for the media HACK, again, Mr. President. September 2011 has not on their radar, since you put out the AMERICAN JOBS ACT.
Europe is a concern. Less demand for our products, there would be less business for our companies here. Well duh!!
2 minute warning before the POTUS addresses the JACKALS!
