The Organizing for America/Obama 2012 campaign sent me an email yesterday complaining that the Congress won’t vote on the President’s jobs bill;
Jonn —
President Obama is in Dallas today urging Americans who support the American Jobs Act to demand that Congress pass it already.
Though it’s been nearly a month since he laid out this plan, House Republicans haven’t acted to pass it. And House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is out there actually bragging that they won’t even put the jobs package up for a vote — ever.
It’s not clear which part of the bill they now object to: building roads, hiring teachers, getting veterans back to work. They’re willing to block the American Jobs Act — and they think you won’t do anything about it.
But here’s something you can do: Find Republican members of Congress on Twitter, call them out, and demand they pass this bill.
So it’s Republicans fault, huh? Well not according to this article from The Hill;
In a lively spat on the Senate floor Tuesday, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) attempted call up President Obama’s jobs plan for an immediate vote in the upper chamber.
However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who supports the legislation, blocked the vote.
So, that little story runs counter to what the Obamabots are being told. I get the feeling that the Democrats are blocking a vote just so they can have an issue in November. So all of you unemployed people are being used as pawns…you’re not getting any help from the Democrats.
House Republicans haven’t acted to pass it.
Neither have House Democrats there, Barruh. Last time I checked ya’ll don’t have any co-sponsors on this piece of nuclear waste you call a bill.
No, Barruh, what I object to is pissing good money after bad when you and I both know full damn well that all you’re doing is buying votes and trying to shore up the base. In case you haven’t noticed, all that government spending you’ve been doing hasn’t done jack shit for the economy or people who aren’t government employees or union hacks.
Now be a good guy and just resign already, pretty please?
The imam thinks all Americans but a select few are as stupid as Snake Eyes and company. “Pass this bill now!” was the chant, ad nauseum. Problem was, there was no bill. Obama was just waving around a bunch of papers as he grandstanded. Someone did later propose a bill and Obama continued his chant. Problem was, Reid would not permit the bill a vote–and still won’t. It’s all a charade, which is a perfect reflection of the imam’s presidency.
Several weeks ago, Limbaugh said it. He said the vote would never make it because the dems don’t want to own it…Harry Reid just proved it. They will stall this bill until elections and/or continue trying to blame the republicans. Because the Pied Piper has been repeatedly sprayed with teflon and his index finger has found the pointing position permanently at Bush.
I’m not getting any help from Democrats? Say it ain’t so…
I just lost my job of 2.5 months after organizing the filing system because they wanted to hire a non-veteran that they could pay $500 a month less for…
Yeah, it’s all bullshit in my opinion.
When I saw the ad that the MEA/NEA is running, to get the bill passed, it just confirmed that this is another “pass it so we know what’s in it” bill. Nope, you failed the first time around, Barry, so now you want us to throw what’s left of good money after bad?
There’s a reason Dingy Harry won’t bring this piece of crap up for a vote, and it’s got nothing to do with actually doing his job, the Dems don’t want anything to do with it, it’s as toxic as your presidency.
