The Jobs Bill Didn't Pass, What are people thinking now?

The bill didn't pass because of the Repubs and 10 Dems. If the American People don't get it now, then there really is no hope.

Update:

For Judy: and that would be what? How to keep America on unemployment until they reach soup line status? Wake up people, the economy isn't going to get fixed if people are not willing to work together and just keep blocking the road. Looks crazy to me.

    It's ok, the GOP is totally against spending any money to rebuild America and put Americans to work.

    They are, however, all in favor of spending $2 Bil to rebuild Libya and putting Libyans to work.

    If Obama would quit campaigning and make an attempt to work reasonably with Congress, both Democrat AND Republican, something positive could be done. Unfortunately his greatest asset is demonizing and ridiculing others and it just isn't going to wash.

    Obama will always have his 'blind' followers but the fact is his mode of operation is to divide and try to conquer. That was his role as a Chicago back room politician and it is all he knows. He relies on the stupidity of those who refuse to think, are bitter and resentful of those who live and play by the rules.

    Too many people have been born and raIsed in an environment that has led them to believe that the government's job is to 'take care of them'.

    They drop out of school, their parents spend more time clubbing and believe that it is a teachers job to baby sit them, they depend on getting money from tax returns instead of preparing themselves for a job, starting at the bottom and giving 100% to advance themselves.

    It's a pitiful situation and Obama & Unions are campaigning to encourage enabling and enforcing the belief that I am a victim so someone else should take care of my needs on the hard work of those who overcome and make a decent life for themselves and their families.

    The bill didn't pass because NOT ONE DEMOCRAT made a move to make passing it possible.

    As literally everyone able to read knows, there is NOTHING in that bill that hasn't already been done, ALWAYS yielding more job LOSSES. Of course that's WHY Democrats hoped they could get the GOP to pass it.

    Have you noticed that with total and unstoppable power the Democrats passed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for two years unless and until they could find a way to blame the GOP for it? That's how they have ALWAYS operated. Democrats ALWAYS blame ALL of their own actions on Republicans. You know you can't think of even ONE exception.

    Millions of Americans are clinging to the hope the promise of the Herman Cain 9 - 9 - 9 Plan. One Large Pizza with Three Toppings for $9.99 will solve everything from economic misery to cellulite. However there may be a monkey wrench in there: CiCi's Pizza is offering up THREE medium one topping pizzas for %9.88; might be a Pelosi-Reed conspiracy.

    They're thinking about ways to get it passed by any means necessary. Because this bill is the most necessary thing in America. (Necessary=needed.)
