(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama, in a speech to supporters in Dallas, Texas, today attacked House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), challenging the conservative lawmaker to come to Texas and tell the president what he did not like about the $447-billion American Jobs Act.
“Yesterday, the Republican Majority Leader in Congress, Eric Cantor, said that right now, he won’t even let the jobs bill have a vote in the House of Representatives,” Obama said in prepared remarks released by the White House.
“I'd like Mr. Cantor to come down here to Dallas and explain what in this jobs bill he doesn't believe in,” said Obama.
As CNSNews.com reported on Monday, Cantor said that Obama’s bill was dead in the House, adding that the president’s “all or nothing approach is just not acceptable.”
In his remarks, Obama frequently challenged Cantor to “come down” to Dallas and tell his supporters why the second-ranking House Republican opposes the American Jobs Act.
“Come tell Dallas construction workers why they should be sitting home instead of fixing our bridges and our schools,” Obama said.
“Come tell the small business owners and workers in this community why you’d rather defend tax breaks for millionaires than tax cuts for the middle-class,” he said. “And if you won’t do that, at least put this jobs bill up for a vote so that the entire country knows exactly where every Member of Congress stands.”
The president’s bill, the American Jobs Act of 2011, was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Sept. 12 but, so far, it has garnered no Democrat co-sponsors, although there are 51 Democrats and two Independents in the Senate. In the House, the legislation (HR 12) was introduced by Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) on Sept. 21 but also has earned no co-sponsors so far even though there are 192 Democrats in the House. eric cantor
Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring responded to Obama in a written statement, asking whether the president would veto Republican ideas for job creation, saying that America needed “serious leadership,” something Dayspring stressed was needed in light of Obama’s “dismal” record on job creation.
“If House Republicans sent our plan for America’s job creators to the president, would he promise not to veto it in its entirety?” Dayspring asked. “Would he travel district to district and explain why he’d block such common sense ideas to create jobs?”
“President Obama needs to understand that his ‘my way or the highway’ approach simply isn’t going to work in the House or the Democratic Senate, especially in light of his abysmal record on jobs,” said Dayspring. “Serious problems deserve serious leadership, and the American people have gone without it for far too long. Republicans are trying to work together despite our disagreements -- why isn’t the president?”
Reid refuses to vote on it unless it is changed, but, of course, like children and criminals do, they blame others for their failures, like Bozo always finds someone to blame, never himself. This shows he has no Leadership abilities, never has, never will.
Obozo, who holds Americans in perpetual contempt is, himself, contemptuous.
Mr. President, come to the House and show where any of that is in your bill, that still has not found a Democrat sponsor to be submitted to the House where it legally must be submitted first.
It’d serve him right if Cantor did just what he asked. Explain to the construction worker that Porkulus 1 was supposed to give him a shovel-ready job so maybe he should ask Obama where THAT went.
Ask Obama why he thinks any small business owner is going to hire a worker he doesn’t need and can’t afford for $50,000 in salary and benefits in order to get a $2500 tax credit.
He really thinks he can continue fooling the people.
I'm sure that was a robust crowd. Looks like TX is going Blue this election. Real leadership type rhetoric there Obammy. This guy is a clown.
“I’d like Mr. Cantor to come down here to Dallas and explain what in this jobs bill he doesn’t believe in,” said Obama.”
I’m going to take a wild guess and say Cantor probably disagrees with all of it Barry.
It’s time for O’s opposition to start pointing out the very real possibility that the president has come unhinged.
some republican could really hit a home run, going to the same places as the usurper, but just a day or two later. Out draw him, and counter his message.
Cantor’s mere existence gets under Obama’s skin.
Remember in the WH meeting with Congressional Leadership, Cantor made a comment and Obama said, “Don’t call my bluff, Eric”, and stalked out of the room.
Here’s my point. Eric Cantor is Jewish.
Of all the GOP Leadership, it is Cantor that Obama personalizes against.

Moose limbs hate the Jews. 'nuf said?
I say vote on it, let it go down monumentally.
Why else?
He overreacts to Cantor, but not Boehner or McConnell, etc, and I mean by comparison. He goes ballistic against the Jew.
I don’t think O is Muslim, I think he is a Muslim sympathizer and a radical socialist and was in sync with Jeremiah Wright, Father Fleiger and Louis Farakhan.
And the New Black Panthers, etc...
All of whom are anti-Semitic.
Mac. Daddy’s only option is to attack, he has NOTHING else to run on as he has not improved ANYTHING but has bankrupted America and made himself a laughing stock to the world leaders.
ANOTHER $447-billion - - it should be called the “American [Jobs]Going into the Crapper Act.
One only needs to reference what his buddies: Sharpton, Jackson, and Farrakhan have said about the Jews. That says it all . . .
