I'm not a fan and I don't believe that he is very sincere about this.

However,


It is a politically brilliant move. It would be better in the summer but by then, the republicans will have been hammering him about government size and it would have been seen as a reaction. This way, it can be positioned as if he thought it up all on his own.

with a deficit in the 10s of trillions, Barry is going to save $3 billion over 10 years and allow for long-term attrition to reduce the headcount


in other words, he is blowing smoke and hoping the sheep will inhale

LOL he has no credibility with regards to this topic. Troll 3/10.



How so? He has already reduced the number of federal employees. And while I tend to agree on some levels that this is just a WH troll, the alternatives arent offering us anything thats not that either...

If the Republican'ts think Obama is not serious they should pass the legislation and call his bluff. I think their real fear is Obama might succeed.

The Senate is free to pass the Ryan budget any day it wants.

I think the OP's thread title contains the real truth. "Obama seeking powers".

anyone know where these government jobs were cut from?
didn't a new agency just get fired up?

i know there was a job freeze and all, but it was completely bogus within the Department of Justice.

even in the Bureau of Prisons, we have had a lot of jobs consolidated and/or eliminated.
problem is, those positions were merely renamed...same people, same pay, same job functions, just a different title.

Rho



Trouble is he brought it up during his State of the Union Address a year ago.

All of his legislation to bring jobs back has been blocked by the Republicans as well.

Why do Republicans hate America, wait that isn't it, they just love profits and bonuses for the top elites more than the working man.

It well past time we do something about them, and Obama is calling upon you to mute these obstructionist bastages.
