Obama’s jobs plan isn’t top priority for Reid

Obama: “Pass my jobs bill!” Reid: “After our vacation (maybe.)” Well, if Obama can go on vacation(s), so can the senate. Harry’s not dragging his feet, he’s just trying to scrape a crappy stimulus bill off of his shoes. And his desk.

  • The Obama jobs bill still hasn't been introduced? I thought those raaaacist republicans were the ones holding it and the country for ransom. Seems odd that the press is not leading off every story about this bill with that little known fact. Is it me or do they seem a tad biased?

  • So its the do nothing House of Representatives that is holding up barry's next cluster and not Reid. It's time to just state the facts and just the facts please. The House has passed over 700 bills while the Senate has passed less than 140. Simple mathematics says that the House has passed 5 TIMES MORE bills than the Senate.

    barry and company need to get a new routine.

  • I don't think Obama ever intended this crap sandwich to pass and Reid knows that. They are putting on a show so Obama can say "The Republicans ate my jobs bill" even though those who have been paying attention will know the truth. The media seems genuinely surprised by the senate's lack of action, though.

    • That is exactly correct. Similarly, the administration is not appealing the Obamacare ruling and will let it go to SCOTUS. When and if it is struck down he can blame others for the elimination of the law and distance himself from the whole unpopular mess.
