And House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is out there actually bragging that they won&#8217;t even put the jobs package up for a vote &#8212; ever.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear which part of the bill they now object to: building roads, hiring teachers, getting veterans back to work. They&#8217;re willing to block the American Jobs Act &#8212; and they think you won&#8217;t do anything about it.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s something you can do: Find Republican members of Congress on Twitter, call them out, and demand they pass this bill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So it&#8217;s Republicans fault, huh? Well not according to this article from <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/floor-action\/senate\/185455-reid-blocks-mcconnells-call-for-an-immediate-vote-on-obamas-jobs-plan\">The Hill<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In a lively spat on the Senate floor Tuesday, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) attempted call up President Obama\u2019s jobs plan for an immediate vote in the upper chamber.<\/p>\n<p>However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who supports the legislation, blocked the vote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>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&#8230;you&#8217;re not getting any help from the Democrats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Organizing for America\/Obama 2012 campaign sent me an email yesterday complaining that the Congress won&#8217;t &hellip; <a title=\"Smoke up my butt\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=26838\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Smoke up my butt<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-congress-sucks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26838\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
