Ah, the party of 'no', doing what it does best (simply saying 'no').

Once again, The Party Of 'No' blocks support to Americans, and once again The Party Of 'No' hands the Dems yet another election weapon to sweep them back into power.

"What did the GOP do when we offered them a package to funds jobs for ordinary Americans? They said what they always say - N.O.!"

Americans know full well this would have been a second 'stimulus' bill. Obama admitted the first bit of Keynesian craziness was a flop, one that resulted in over at least a million jobs lost. A guy like Clinton, serious about jobs, would have crafted the bill in a bipartisan way and brought it to Congress. Obama draws it up and then polarizes the issue with yet another one of his increasingly irrelevant speeches, demonizing before the fact those who he damn well would shoot the bill down, and confident of course that the lapdog mainstream media would twist the facts to make him look like the unjustly injured party here. As more and more point out this president has spent 4 trillion dollars of money we do not have to 'save or create' exactly one job: his own, from January of 2013.

I'm not American and even I know that statement isn't particularly true.

This wouldn't have made much difference to the unemployment numbers anyway, I'm afraid. The U.S. has deep structural problems that simply adding more stimulus money won't fix. Put simply, we have no way of generating the millions of low-skilled jobs necessary to bring down unemployment.

Heh, anyone else looking forward to next year, when we can refer to Dems as being the Party of No? When Republicans have control of the House, Senate, and Presidency, the shoe will be on the other foot. No doubt Sushi and smith will use the term themselves to refer to Dems... lol
