    Glad to see it! Obsama's stimulus to Democrat donors needs to be stopped. In the past these deals were done in smoky back rooms, but in light of Solyndra, they just don't seem to care if they look like crooks anymore. With $4 trillion added to the National Debt by the Democrats in less than 3 years, I think we simply don't need to add another half a trillion to that just to satisfy Obama bundlers.

    Reid and Durbin also said its dead in the senate.

    so basically this has nothing to do with just the GOP, but both parties not wanting to vote for this piece of crap bill.

    Foolish Republicans! This will be spinned quite easily -- GOP has lost 2012 in October '11.

    Obama's Jobs Bill? I guess you mean America's Jobs Bill?

    True.

    But Obama's reelection hopes rest on the lib news media convincing the public that the Republicans are the only ones standing in Obama's way and refusing to compromise.

    I really don't understand garbage comments like this. Obama cannot even get HIS OWN PARTY on board for this piece of... legislation. But it is still the republicans fault...

    Do any of you have the ability to think critically?

    No? Didn't think so

    I agree with the house, parts of this bill are great and parts are utter bs.

    Obama's ace in the hole is the pro Obama lib news media.

    They will do their best to convince the public that it's all the Republicans in Congress's fault.

    I hope it won't work but about half the voters depend on government handouts to sone extent so they will not be difficult to convince.

    This POS plan never had a chance and Obama, the lib's knew it. Obama's just using it as white noise so his media pals will have something to rally around and justify their chatter.
    BO is in way over his head and his "cool" isn't so much any more.

    Nobody's going to believe that another stimulus will do what the first one completely failed to do. We've heard all that noise before. It's been said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This is what the Obama administration doing.

    The funny thing is that we have yet to see ANYTHING from the GOP in regards to a jobs bill. Whats their plan? Do they even have one? The POTUS manned up and put out a plan. I have yet to see the GOP produce (*)(*)(*)(*) other than wasteful spending bills that want to (*)(*)(*)(*) with Homosexuals.

    Cantor said Obama's plan is dead on arrival. Why? I would LOVE to hear the GOP stand in front of the press and explain to each and every one of the jobless people or struggling American Business owners each and every part of the American Jobs Act that they have a problem with.

    But who am I kidding. We already know what they don't like about the Bill. It might make things get better for our struggling economy, and perhaps an improved economy will not get them the result in the elections they so desperatly want. Hell, the first month or so in Obamas Presidency, that old GOP (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Bag in the Senate Mitch McConnell said "Making Obama a one term President is my single most important goal." Way to go Mitch! Struggling Americans be (*)(*)(*)(*)ed! We want the power! That is the TRUE GOP Mantra.

    The tail wagging the dog?

    Dems control the Senate and President Zero has the levers of the executive branch where all the pinhead government regulators work.

    Yes, just like the last Obama porkulus bill did.

    Until the money runs out then the jobs go away again.

    Agreed.

    Republickass and T-Baggers alike will scream this is not true...but look at the track record.
    They don't seem to give a rats-ass about "We the people".
    All they seem to care about is getting Obama out of THEIR White House.

    This is gonna be one hell of a ride.

    YES!!
    Just like the last bill saved jobs.
    Just like the last bill kept you blind asses from a full blown depression.
    Just like the last bill kept unemployment to manageable levels.

    Lord all they all silly?

    It saved some government jobs until the stimulus money ran out.

    Now the jobs are going away and Obama and the public employee unions are in a panic.

    They need a new fix for their addiction.

    They don't.

    But there is plenty of other spending that Obama wants to hand out for the government employees.

    This morning Reid said the bill will be supported in the Senate. This is after Democrats removed some of Obama's more Republican features.

    I hope they stop consideration of the free trade agreements with Korea and Panama and Colombia.

    But does it matter? There are so many Republicans in the Democratic party that not much will pass that benefits the non-rich.
