Obama's Just Politicing...He has no Intention of Trying to Fix the Jobs Problems.....

This is a joke....Obama's complaining that the Republicans are saying NO to everything he wants and they should...that's exactly why we put them there last November to STOP everything that he was ramming through.....BUT what Obama isn't saying is that he can't even get his Job Bill through the democratically controlled SENATE...in fact they haven't even brought the bill up for discussion and their leadership openly admits they do not have the Democrat votes to pass it....

Cantor Says Jobs Bill Dead in House, Obama Complains of GOP Stonewalling

Published October 04, 2011 FoxNews.com

House Republican Leader Eric Cantor said definitively Monday that President Obama's $447 billion jobs bill is dead on arrival in his chamber.

To hear Obama tell it, that's just about par for the course.

"I have done everything I can to try to get the Republican Party to work with me to deal with what is the biggest crisis of our lifetimes," Obama said in an interview with ABC News. "And each time, all we've gotten from them is, 'No.'"

The president was headed to Texas on Tuesday to visit Eastfield Community College in Mesquite, Texas, and tour the campus' Children's Laboratory School before delivering remarks urging Congress to pass the American Jobs Act.

The White House says the legislation will keep 280,000 teachers in the classroom, add tens of thousands more and pay for modernization of at least 35,000 public schools buildings.

On Monday, Obama urged Congress to pass the bill by the end of the month. Speaking to ABC News, Obama acknowledged that he doesn't think Americans are better off today than they were four years ago, but said his administration has made "steady progress" to stabilize the economy even if unemployment is still way too high. He added that the American people are in favor of his proposals.

"When you tick down which approach the American people generally prefer, they'll say mine. Now, what they'll say is, he hasn't been able to get it through Congress. And, you know, I'm the first one to acknowledge that the relations between myself and the Republican Congress have not been good over the last several months, but it's not for a lack of effort," he said. "It has to do with the fact that, you know, they've made a decision to follow what is a pretty extreme approach to governance."

Cantor, R-Va., said Tuesday that Republicans agree with the president's comment that people aren't better off today than four years ago.

"We feel the same way," he said.

Speaking Monday, Cantor told reporters that the GOP is ready to "work together" on parts of the president's proposal, but Republicans won't stand for taking up the bill as a take-it-or-leave-it deal.

"Now, the president continues to say, pass my bill in its entirety. As I have said from the outset, the all-or-nothing approach is just unacceptable," Cantor said, repeatedly accusing the president of being in "campaign mode."

The GOP leader said the House would pull out and act on a proposal to end a requirement that the government withhold 3 percent of payments to contractors. He also said the House would act on the three free-trade agreements the White House sent to Congress for Colombia, Panama and South Korea -- a long-delayed set of measures the president has highlighted in prior jobs speeches, though he did not send them to Congress until this week.

Cantor said the prospect of passing the bill in its entirety, though, is just not feasible, in part because of the problems in the president's own party.

"I think from a purely practical standpoint, the president's got some whipping to do on his own side of the aisle. Clearly, I think comments made by Democrats on both the House and Senate side indicated they have problems with the president's bill," Cantor said.

Not all Democrats are clamoring for the bill the way they supported the stimulus after Obama took office in early 2009. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., an Obama ally, said last week that the Senate doesn't yet have the votes to pass it.

Furthermore, after delivering an expected speech on the jobs bill in Texas Tuesday afternoon, the president plans to attend fundraisers in St. Louis, but one of Obama's top 2008 supporters won't be there. Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, considered vulnerable in the 2012 election, told The Hill newspaper through an aide that she had a scheduling conflict Tuesday and will not join the president in her home state.

YEA....I'll bet McCaskill has a "scheduling conflict"....the only scheduling conflict she has is very unpopular President who will rub off on her if she shows up...Everyone's trying to run away from Obama and for good cause...
