Even though President Obama’s American Jobs Act could create 3 million much-needed jobs for our struggling economy – Republicans unanimously filibustered it in the Senate last night. While Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was able to garner a majority of votes in the Senate to pass the legislation – including 51 of 53 Democrats – he fell short of the 60 votes needed to break a unified Republican filibuster. Of course in the House – things are worse. There – Republicans have vowed to not even hold a vote on the jobs bill. So – with unemployment over 9% - the President’s American Jobs Act is being filibustered by Republicans in the Senate – and ignored by Republicans in the House. I guess it’s time to officially run against the “Do-Nothing” Congress.

Liberal B.S. Everyone knows this bill was just another stimulus package that wouldn't fix a thing, but just extend the so called summer of recovery along far enough to get through elections.
Not good for nothing. Doing nothing is better than doing something that is bad
Ahh, I would not worry about this b/c Obama is going to get rid of Congress and the Constitution;old Document anyway, and Obama will lead us just as Hitler did.
I think they did the right thing in voting it down. Liberals just keep throwing bad money to save bad money and decisions.He just wanted to have a reason to go out and campaign at our expense to raise his already 70m running pot.
How about we run against a do nothing / know nothing grand wizzard, poor excuse for a president before he totally ruins our contry beyond repair. He may have already crossed the line by starting class warfare.
9:59...amen!
Shoulda passed this one - we'd only have to spend $160,000 for each "shovel ready" temporary job rather than $240,000 per like the last failed stimulus package. How could we refuse such a deal?
Maybe Congress should then get off their dead as!$* and DO SOMETHING!
If someone came to your house with a bucket of horse manure and tried to sell it to you, would you buy it? Of course not, you'd tell them it smelled like manure. If they then told you it wasn't manure,but it was really chocolate would you then buy it then? Of course not. This jobs bill smells like the same manure we were forced to buy with stimulus one.
Everyone wants to shout out how bad this Presidents proposals are all the time but where are the solutions?
Wake up people. The Republicans have made it perfectly clear that they are the party of NO. They have said NO to everything brought before them.
My problem with it is so where's YOUR ideas? Where's YOUR plans?
They don't have any!
Mitt Romney stated during the debate the other night, "I know how to create jobs". Really? Then why don't you tell others HOW to do it so we can get people back to work?
Why? Because it's just more hot air from the campaign trail, that's why!
Anybody know where I can buy a bucket of chocolate?
Yes 3:37 just find out who 3:29 is . I'm sure he has a bucket of chocolate to sell you. And don't be fooled by the smell. It's reallllly chocolate.
