Democrats Running Away Before Obama Jobs Bill Senate Vote

Posted on October 11, 2011 by | 3 Comments

Democrats scramble to save face on President Obama’s jobs bill.  The Hill.

Democratic leaders in the Senate are scrambling to avoid defections on President Obama’s jobs package, which appears headed for defeat on Tuesday.

Yes, it will look bad if any Dems actually vote nay for the current jobs bill coming up for a vote.   Repubs are about to embarrass the Dems, by exposing those who do not support their partisan leader.  Dems caught on tape.

ADDENDUM

Moment of truth: Senate blocks Obama’s jobs bill.  HA.  The coast is clear.  All the chickens banded together to save face for an incapable Dem prez  by getting a Dem majority, to castigate perennial  blame upon the perceived obstructionist Repubs. 

The bill wasn’t designed to pass. If it was, Obama wouldn’t have loaded it up with tax hikes knowing that Republicans would reject them out of hand. It was designed to draw a party-line vote resulting in a filibuster so that O could (a) blame the GOP for the next 13 months of malaise while (b) claiming that they’d rather protect the rich (the one percent!!!) from new tax burdens than help America recover.

    I am waiting for ONE- just ONE credible news organization to point out this is all damn kabuki. If there is ONE just ONE dollar of spending in that bill it is in the wrong House. Spending bills originate in the House of Representatives.
    You would think somebody at CNN, FOX, ABC , Boston GLobe, WSJ, WAPO, Tribune- ANY of the major news organizations would point that out.

    Oh PMM, you are ever wise in the sea of self-inflated politicos posturing as responsible and elected officials, and purchased media employees posing as journalists. It is more convenient to strut, posture, pontificate, etc., then it is to plainly tell the truth and stick it to those who should know better.

    Just another reason why all elected officials should have to take a civics class before they can take office.
