— Ace Baucus, the Democrats' negotiator, had been too bipartisan, you see.
Reid killed the bill after hearing complaints from members of his own caucus who argued that Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) had gone too far beyond the core goal of job creation in order to win Republican support.
Maybe he's talking about the Patriot Bill extension that was supposed to be tucked into the bill.
The bill, Harry Reid flat-out tells you, isn't about jobs at all.
It's about having a message about jobs.
“The message is so watered down with people wanting other things in this big package that we’re going to have to come back and finish that,” he said....
“And then when we finish that, we’ll move on to the tax extenders and all the other stuff,” Reid told reporters after the weekly Democratic Senate lunch. “But we feel the American people need a message. The message that they need is that we’re doing something about jobs. We don’t have a jobs bill. We have a jobs agenda.”
This guy isn't even pretending to talk about jobs -- he's just telling the press flat-out the political message he wants to get out by spending a $100 billion. And they don't even seem to notice.
George Bush (the Elder) famously read his stage-directions one time: Message: I care. He wasn't supposed to say that. That was supposed to guide him in how to present himself, to subliminally convey that. But he accidentally read it aloud.
And caught hell for it -- what a dummy. What a phony.
Here's Reid going on and on not about jobs but about crafting a political message to save his 2010 campaign and no one in our press corps bats an eye.
Hey Harry? If you want to send a message, you don't need $100 billion.
Start a blog, you useless retard.

Get the hell out of the way Harry. Thats a jobs bill. Depending on the same people to fix the disaster who got us in it in the first place is a recipe for failure.
If he killed the bill I'll take it, it didnt include or have enough of the handouts and pork to all of the Dems favorite special interest groups they are so fond of stimulating.

You right wing meanies never get the message. Harry Reid is a wonderful man to his family, practices safe sex with hooker's, and has brought home the bacon to his hometown. He also agrees with Obama on fucking Las Vegas. Harry is the man.

This was never a jobs bill to begin with. It was just another way for the Democrats to appease and expand their voter base, give hand-outs and welfare away as usual and create more victims. Once they brought the GOP in, who actually want to create jobs and grow the economy, it was destined to fail.
I00 billion is just a drop in the bucket now. We're too far gone for that paltry amount to work. That was what the Stimulus was for, which got pissed away on progressive bullshit.

Today President Hussein Obama predicted the administration will create 95 thousands jobs each and every month for the next two years. This is again great news brought to you by The Won. Whom else could create the atmosphere for such spectacular growth if not for the efforts of President Obama, First Lady Wookie, and the effete Vice-President Joe "Amtrack" Biden? Kisses bitches.

Everyone latched on to this and Harry is stuck - if he lets it go forward - then a lot of unpleasant stuff will be attached. Harry looks like a clown, a sad - sad clown.

I looked through a gubmint job list last week. Dammit, they still expect you to actually know shit. I might apply anyway. Planning on showing up in black face to pick up the extra AA points.

It is simply astonishing to know that our president has performed so righteously on the Iraq problem that some troopers will be coming home in the near future. If not for the concerted efforts of President Obama according to Vice-President Joe Biden, the Iraq solution is a direct result of the Obama administration effort to reduce the force to a more manageable size.
No mention of the stupid president signing this into law.
Posted by: Fish at February 11, 2010 02:32 PM (M5t+h)
Why would Obama risk making the statement that 95 thousands new jobs will be created each month? Because you are an ignorant ass and he can make any statement he wishes knowing you're stupid.

Cut all taxes - that's a jobs bill.
Extend the Bush tax cuts permanently - that's a jobs bill.
Drop the heinous Obama/Pelosi/ReidCare crap - that's a jobs bill.
