'MSNBC Live': Al Sharpton To GOP Talk Jobs Or Shut Up!

Rush Limbaugh and several bloggers have taken on Al Sharpton recently. One can't help but believe this new rant or warning was pointed not just to those in Congress but also to a few politicos as well. Al Sharpton called John Boehner by name but he seemed intent on reaching a larger audience with his pointed charge of "Talk jobs or shut up!" Sharpton knows that more than supporters are watching his new show.

Impressive. Conservative White Men are mad now, they will take it out on Blacks and Hispanics via their professions. They always do.

I couldn't help but notice that Mr. Sharpton didn't mention the Democrates in Congress or President Obama in his "Talk Jobs or Shut Up" demands, I wonder why? He's complaining that the Republicans running for their Party's nomination in 2012 haven't presented a Jobs Bill, yet he conviently forgets that President Obama hasn't either, althought he now holds that office.

Because the Republicans campaigned on creating jobs during the mid-term elections. That's how they fooled you for voting for them. Now they want to change the coversation to cutting spending. The Republicans have blocked several job bills presented by the CBC and you, poor fool will still vote for them.

Not even close. Obama has been "focused like a laser" on jobs, supposedly, for years.

"Jobs bill" for liberals is simply more spending. We tried it, it didn't work, now let's get to real solutions. There will be NO more stimulus, do you understand?

How do you know who I voted for, were you in the booth with me?
How do you know how I will vote, are you Psychic?

I stated how I noticed that Reverend Sharpton was demanding to see Jobs Bills from those who are running for President, but wasn't demanding the same from the sitting President.

The Republicans have claimed all along that they think cutting spending will create jobs:

But the Pledge to America also addresses two central economic issues and makes commitments that will embarrass House Republicans if they gain a majority but fail to deliver. One is to roll back non-defense discretionary spending to 2008 levels. Source: www.realclearpolitics.com

The Republicans are trying to do what they said they would do, and many people are acting suprised. I wonder why?

The Jobs Bills presented by the CBC are from the CBC, not from President Obama.

When you think I'm not being fair,
you'll have to settle for my being honest.
