Here is the latest on the "pass the bill now" American Jobs Act from that great class warrior president Obama. It seems that neither party is prepared to support Obama's nonsensical plans to raise long term taxes in exchange for a few short term tax breaks. Here is what the number two Democrat in the Senate said today according to The Hill: "Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said, at the moment, Democrats in Congress don’t have the votes to pass President Obama’s jobs bill". Durbin said that the Democrat leadership would continue to work on it, but his comments revealed that not even the Democrats who controll the Senate can get the Obama plan passed.
It is truly funny that Obama blames the failure to pass the bill on the House Republicans. The reality is that both the Democrats and the Republicans recognize Obama's bill for what it is, a naked attempt to create an election issue without doing anything to actually help the economy. No one, not even the Democrats in the Senate, are prepared to watch the country go down the drain just so Obama can get a phony election issue. It seems that despite his rhetoric, Obama has now clearly become the child in the room.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said, at the moment, Democrats in Congress don’t have the votes to pass President Obama’s jobs bill, but Durbin added that that situation would change.
