Title: The House's #1 Responsibility! Post by: Howey on June 12, 2013, 05:10:15 pm Finally, he's listening (http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2013/06/12/18921824-the-house-gops-number-one-priority?lite) to his constituents and the President, right? He's on the jobs bandwagon, w00t!
And Boehner's jumped on the [url=http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-exclusive-interview-house-speaker-john-boehner-nsa/story?id=19370792&singlePage=true#.UbjiYPnrzMd]jobs train (https://twitter.com/LukeRussert/status/344820995032506369) too! w00t w00t! Quote STEPHANOPOULOS: You know, we asked our viewers for questions for you. And so many came in on the same exact theme. Where are the jobs? What is this Congress doing for jobs? BOEHNER: Well, that's interesting, George. Because it really is our number one priority. No, not really... Quote In fact, a few seconds after making the comment, Boehner changed the subject to "dealing with our looming debt crisis" and complaining about "Obamacare." [COLOR="#FF0000"]What's more, the House Republican leadership has been in the majority for nearly three years, and hasn't passed any jobs bills at all in that time, suggesting they've had quite a bit of trouble remembering their "number one priority[/COLOR]."

Title: Re: The House's #1 Responsibility! Post by: uselesslegs on June 13, 2013, 02:14:01 pm It's just egregiously insulting now. The Dem's are uber assholes for not banging the press and media about this every single day...and the Repubs are uber assholes for using this as a political device, by offering little to no support for jobs initiatives, under the active pretense that a bad economy and job market (under Democratic governance) is a boon for them politically. That's god damn treasonous in my book. |
