“No, I Said Pass This Bill”

Obama jobs plan fails in the GOP-controlled Senate:

The Senate defeated President Barack Obamas job-creation package on Tuesday in a sign that Washington is likely too paralyzed to take major steps to spur hiring before the 2012 elections.

Well,naturally. The Senate is controlled by the GOP.  What else could happen?

UPDATE:  Oh, silly me.  I always mix up the House and Senate.  The Dems control it, right?

(Mitch checks)  Wow.  Sure enough.

Obama had barnstormed around the country to pressure his Republican opponents to back his top legislative priority, but he did not pick up a single Republican vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate.Two Democrats, facing re-election in conservative states, also voted against the measure.

Hm.  So – is Washington “too polarized”, or are Barack Obama’s coattails shrinking again?

  1. Yes, but it’s still the Republicans fault. Just like when the Dems controlled both houses and the White House. It’s always the Republicans fault.

  2. The closer a piece of garbage gets to disappearing down the drain, the faster it goes.

  3. You really have to ask if Obama really believes the bilge coming out of his mouth (or put into this “jobs” bill), in which case he is delusional, or if he is just that horribly cynical, diabolical, narcissistic and political (in the bad way). In other terms, did he actually think it would pass, or was it planned all along to be SO bad that it wouldn’t pass, JUST SO Republicans could be blamed for the lack of an economic turnaround?

  4. Can’t he be delusional AND horribly cynical, diabolical, narcissistic and political at the same time? He is the greatest President of all time, after all.

  5. I am absolutely shocked that the Messiah’s Jobs Bill to tax the rich failed! After all, poor people are such big employers!
