Economy

You’re Not Helping

Remember moments like this the next time you chose to blame President Obama for not passing a particular bill while ignoring the actions of congress.

Speaking from the floor of the Senate, Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) explained his opposition to President Obama’s jobs bill which is currently expected to fail to muster the necessary 60 votes for passage tonight. Webb said he had reservations about the timing of the bill, and that he opposed the millionaires tax, a provision which would be used to pay for the measure.

The timing of the bill?!

What are you waiting for? Christmas? The second coming?

Do you think those who are suffering in this economy are worried about the timing of the bill? They certainly aren't concerned about the tax increase on millionaires which, as Bob pointed out, an overwhelming majority of Americans support.

I call bullshit on Senator Jim Webb.
