Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, a member of the House Rules Committee, said on the House floor that Congress did not pass President Barack Obama’s jobs bill because his own party “did not want to support” the plan.
Foxx added that the bill was filed by “request” of the President, as first reported by The Daily Caller on September 27.
“The reason the President’s so-called jobs bill has not been passed in this House is because the Democrats did not support it. It was introduced by request,” Foxx said Tuesday on the House floor.

Only reason for the Obama’s jobs bill is to campaign on the tax payers dime
Absolutely true!! In addition, the entire House is up for re-election next year and those arrogant Dems didn't want to go back to their districts next year and have to explain to their constituents why they voted for a massive tax increase in the middle of a major recession!!
