President Obama on Monday abandoned his "pass this bill now" mantra, and instead called on Congress to vote on his jobs legislation this month, saying he will press legislative leaders from both parties to act quickly on the $447 billion proposal he delivered three weeks ago.
Speaking to reporters at the beginning of a Cabinet meeting Monday, Obama said he is waiting for the plan to return to his desk.
"It's been several weeks now since I sent up the American Jobs Act and as I've been saying on the road I want it back; I'm ready to sign it. My expectation is that now that we're in the month of October we'll schedule a vote before the end of this month," he said.

Buck added that the president's proposed tax increases face bipartisan opposition in the GOP-led House and in the Democrat-run Senate.
During his briefing, Obama called on congressional Republicans to spell out what aspects of his plan they agree with and which they reject. Buck responded that the GOP has already ceded to the president's request that it articulate the parts of the bill that House Republicans will not support.
"We actually weeks ago put out a memo that outlines the parts we thing we can work together on and the parts we probably won't be able to," he said, offering a link to the GOP position.

Is this thing on?
FUBO!! Cut the spending, cut the government, and cut the fricken taxes already!!
You mean the Job-Killer bill?
It sounds like nobody loves Barry except for that big, hairy union guy at Barry’s Soak the Taxpayers rally.
They should pass that, and send it to him ASAP.
Is this satire?
At least he could tell the DOE to stop throwing money at eco-scammers with fake jobs under their coats (but then, the DOE probably isn’t paying any attention to him now, either....)
Indeed.
What he needs to do is remove the hurdles and enable small business to do what they do...
I think it’s like a snuff film with a laugh track or something....
There were some idiots on the street corner on Saturday with signs and flags. I saw signs that said, “Save the American dream!” Many signs said something about Jobs. I was completely unsure what they were supporting or protesting but when I saw “Corporations are not people” I got a better idea what they were upto. They appeared to be supporting Obama’s jobs plan, but there were no Obama signs.
I call on BHO to take a long walk on a short pier. Not this month, NOW.
