Pathetic job by the Republicans

So where is all of the legislation passed by the Republicans who campaigned on their "laser-like" focus on jobs last November? They have spent more time on whether or not President Obama has a birth certificate than on crafting legislation that will provide jobs to Americans.

Slow day St. Dip S..t?

You forgot abortion, and anything anti-gay-rights....

Where are all the jobs the Democrats promised? They had the Senate, House and Oval office for 2 years and did what?


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's Senate Republican Communications Center is pointing out a data point President Obama and congressional Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi would rather not talk about - 2,837,000.

That's the number of jobs lost between February 2009 and December 2010, according to the Department of Labor's Current Employment Statistics Survey.

Here's another data point Obama and company talk about all the time - 8 million. That's how many jobs they claim to have saved or created during the same period. Actually, they don't use the 8 million figure, but that's approximately what you get when you add up all their promises.

First, there was the 3.5 million jobs saved or created that Vice President Joe Biden promised Feb. 25, 2009. That was his memorable "drop-kick the economy" remark:

"Because this is about getting this out and spent in 18 months to create 3.5 million jobs and do -- to set -- tee this up so the rest of the good work that's being done here literally drop-kicks us out of this recession and we begin to grow again and begin to employ people again.”

McConnell's office further points out that Reid, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, and then-House Speaker Pelosi also promised the 3.5 million jobs to be saved or created.

Then there was the 4 million new jobs to be created by Obamacare. That was the figure used by Pelosi, Schumer, and Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA. That gets the Democrats to 7.5 million jobs promised to be saved or created.

Finally, there was the Small Business Credit Act, which Reid and Pelosi promised would create 500,000 new jobs.

Despite all those promises - and $1.5 trillion budget deficit Obama, Reid and Pelosi generated with all of their federal spending last year - unemployment is still at 9.4 percent and shows no signs of falling significantly any time soon. So a logical question to ask Obama, Reid and Pelosi is this: Where are those 8 million jobs you promised America?

Why should the House Republicans craft business friendly legislation that encourages hiring? Obama will only take credit for it.

BTW, new Republican governors have been signing business friendly bills that are lowering their unemployment rates. Meanwhile in Hickenlooper's state, unemployment continues to rise. What is Gov. John doing?

If a liberal blames Bush for the problem, you scream it's all the Dem's fault, now that you have your own guys in the house, who have done nothing to address the problem, now it's still all the dem's fault. What can we deduce from this? Conservatives aren't going to take responsibility for anything.....no surprises there.

Where are all the jobs that Bush LOST before Obama ever got into office? Bush was losing them at the rate of 750,000/month by the time Obama took the oath... Not to mention that in the 8 years of Bush's reign he only created 3 million jobs; and during the 8 years of Clinton's administration, (with the higher Reagan-era tax-rates), he created 23.1 million jobs... The GOP had both houses of Congress for how long?

So you're saying that the Republicans would rather win elections than help the country?

There's plenty of blame to go around, but honestly you've GOT to be kidding. The Dems have the house, senate, and office and DO NOTHING about job creation (except spend enormous amounts of money) for 2 years and we continue to hear from the left everything is Bush's fault. 2 years - no jobs.

And you talk about the conservatives refusing to take responsibility? Laughable.
