First of all, the best laid plans of mice and men do not always unfold as planned. The current situation regarding the ‘jobs’ bill is an example of this. When President Obama introduced his jobs bill, he made sure it had enough ‘poison pills’ in it to prevent Republicans in Congress from voting for it. The idea was to create a campaign issue by saying, “The Republicans are preventing me from fixing the economy.” There is no way the jobs bill would fix the economy, but as long as the Republicans in Congress prevented it from being passed, most Americans wouldn’t figure this out, and President Obama had a campaign issue that voters who were not paying close attention might believe. Well, life got complicated.
Harry Reid blocked a Senate vote of the jobs bill yesterday, even as he complained that Republicans were stalling a vote on the bill. The problem–no Democrat running for re-election wants to vote for the bill. The bill raises taxes and increases spending. The Obama administration may be tone deaf to the results of the 2010 election, but the Democrats running for Congress in 2012 are not.
Guy Benson at Townhall.com reported:
So Obama’s jobs act doesn’t have a single Democratic co-sponsor in the House, and Democrats in the Senate have pulled out all the procedural stops to block even a vote on a bill their party’s president insists must be passed right away…and the Obama campaign is blasting out emails ripping Republicans for obstructionism. Pardon me as I laugh my ass off at the ineptitude. Speaking of ineptitude, let’s also take a moment to reflect on Senate Democrat’s 8-8-8 plan. No, I’m not talking about liberals’ alternative to Herman Cain’s tax proposal, I’m talking about the 888-day anniversary of the last time Harry Reid’s motley crew deigned to introduce a budget, which they’re required by statute to do every year. Good work, guys.
The Weekly Standard reports:
The Obama campaign sent out an email today asking supporters to urge Congress to at least vote on the president’s jobs bill almost immediately after Democratic majority leader Harry Reid blocked a vote on the bill in the Senate.
On the Senate floor today, Republican leader Mitch McConnell asked for unanimous consent to proceed on voting on the bill. Reid, who has struggled to find enough votes for the bill in the Democratic caucus, objected to the motion and killed the opportunity for a vote.
