MESQUITE, Texas (AP) — President Barack Obama is naming names.

First he singled out House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

On Tuesday, House Republican leader Eric Cantor came in for a presidential scolding as Obama used an economic sales pitch in Texas to criticize the House majority leader for refusing to take up the president's jobs bill.

This is almost hilarious, considering the Washinton Times story posted in the FR Breaking News column. Reid refused to let the bill come to the Senate floor, despite Republican efforts to bring it to a vote.

Obozo the village idiot will get as much press out of the big lie as possible.

George Orwell could write another book (2011?) if he were still alive.

One major problem with Ubama’s whining.....it’s Marry Reid and his fellow Senate RATs that have been causing the delay.

"Reid refused to let the bill come to the Senate floor, despite Republican efforts to bring it to a vote."

I hope Boehner doesn't break into tears if he ever gets around to pointing that out.

At least Reid seems to get it.......the American people want to s-p-e-n-d-i-n-g-t-o-s-t-o-p!!! Conservatives, Republicans, some Democrats/Progressives and Independents get it.....NO MORE SPENDING!!!! Obama's Jobs Bill is another Bailout....throwing good money (if we had any) after bad....Maybe he should try the stupid Cash For Clunkers again.....that at least did in the "second hand car" business, something you could really see.

Reid refused to let the bill come to the Senate floor, despite Republican efforts to bring it to a vote.

And this point needs to be hammered more by the Pubbies before Zero's lies become truth.

[SECURE AMERICA]

WOW Not only is Obama a liar but he is stupid to boot......
Republicans tried to bring jobs bill up for a vote, DEMOCRAT Reid said NO.

[Tonytitan]

At least Reid seems to get it......

No he doesn't! He could care less about Obama's overspending. He doesn't want to force the 23 vulnerable Dem Senators to go on the record supporting what the rest of America knows is a massive tax increase while staring down the barrel of a re-election defeat.

[WOBBLY BOB]

all your rowdy friends are comin over tonight?

[Tonytitan]

I think they’re already here!

Not in the way you think.

The reason Reid doesn't want a vote is he knows the bill cannot pass presently. He wants to wait because he's hoping for an opportunity to pass it in the end.

McConnell wants a vote now because he knows it will fail if voted on immediately.

Mitch needs to get on a Major news interview or press conference and give Barack, Harry’s phone number.
“Mr. President, You’re barking up the wrong tree! I tried to bring your plan to a vote and the Senate Majority Leader BLOCKED MY EFFORTS! So, If you have an issue, here’s Harry’s number!”

[grumpygresh]

Maybe dumbo thinks Reid is a Republican.
