Dick Durbin: We Don't Have the Votes to Pass This Phony Jobs Bill

But, uh, we can work on it. In a month or so.

I suppose this is progress. Now not only does Obama have to worry about taking his message to the people to persuade them to embrace his agenda, he also has to worry about persuading the Democrat majority in the Senate. And get them to embrace it too.

Which they, uhm, aren't doing.

This is the thing that confuses me about bullshit legislative proposals that have no meaning except to act like you're doing something because you're tanking in the polls: Don't you need your party, who still hold a majority in the Senate, to kinda act like they'll go along with this? Wouldn't that be kind of a big deal? I mean, to look serious and all.

Hey, President Jobs. Durbin and Reid have been dragging their feet, hemming and hawing, futzing around for weeks while you went out there, did your road trips and speeches and town halls, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they didn't do shit for you man. They ain't doin shit for you now. You've been yelling "pass this bill" at anyone who's within earshot. Including Senate Democrats, who were certainly within earshot.

They ain't passin your bill. You're favorability rating among Senate Democrats is down to like, 37%.

You mad, bro?
