Time for a Jobs Bill Mr President...do it alone because you must

The GOP is not going to allow a jobs bill. Frankly, the reason is they want the economy to suck for the Presidential elections, as they think it gives them the best shot to unseat Obama. Seriously, the GOP is letting millions go unemployed to win political power. It's disgusting, but obviously true. What is the opposite of "country first"? The answer is, the current GOP leadership. I mean you Mitch McConnell, John Boehner.

Katrina vanden Heuvel in the Washington Post today says it like this:

Let’s be clear: There is a limit to what the president can do. To succeed, he must be a joined by a movement. But there is a movement afoot, one that is prepared to take on this fight. The American Dream Movement is mobilizing tens of thousands of people in all 435 congressional districts with a simple message: jobs, not cuts. That is a message the American people support by more than a 2 to 1 margin. On Monday, the organizers released a job-creation plan written by 127,000 Americans.

It's time for the President to mobilize this movement and force the conversation to jobs. It's the right thing for the economy and clearly the right thing for his Presidency.
