Rush Limbaugh: “The Only Thing Obama Could Do That Would Be Convincing” During His Jobs Speech “Is To Resign.” From Limbaugh's radio show:

NEIL CAVUTO (host): If it were to be dramatic, what would Mark Levin like to see?
LEVIN: He can't do anything dramatic in terms of what I like. He's ideologically and --
CAVUTO: I know. But in a dream world, what would you like to hear the president say?
LEVIN: I'd like him to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I've tried this for 32 months. I'm going to resign.” Then I would applaud him. [Fox News, Your World With Neil Cavuto, 9/1/11]

Newsmax's Root: “Only Two Words Need To Be Uttered By President Obama's Lips: 'I Resign.'” From Wayne Allyn Root's Newsmax column, headlined “Obama's Two-Word Speech That Would Save America”:
President Barack Obama has the most important speech of his presidency on Thursday. A speech built around creating jobs and inspiring economic recovery. You want an economic recovery? You want jobs? Two magical words are needed to change the course of history.
Two words change the future for millions of desperate unemployed Americans. Two words transform a depression into a boom. Two words motivate and inspire every business owner in America to create jobs. Two words free the U.S. economy from the current doom, despair, debt, depression, misery, and malaise.
Only two words need to be uttered by President Obama's lips: “I resign.”
Imagine an Obama-Free America.
Overnight 2 1/2 years of pain are erased. Trillions of dollars and millions of jobs are brought back into the USA. Millions of business owners breathe a sigh of relief and begin to plan their recovery. Investors begin investing again, unleashing a torrent of buying and business expansion. [Newsmax, 9/7/11]
Radio Host Neal Boortz: “Greatest Job-Stimulus Speech” Obama Could Give Is To Say He Won't Seek Re-Election. From Fox Business' Cavuto:
BOORTZ: We're going to find out Thursday night whether Barack Obama cares more about his re-election than he does about the economic health of this country. The greatest job-stimulus speech that he could give is less than 20 words long: “I do not intend to seek my party's nomination for president of the United States next year.” [Fox Business, Cavuto, 9/7/11]
