Harry Reid Laughs At McConnell For Taking Credit For The Economy

Funny how the economy finally found its legs after sequestration took hold, you know the thing the commiecrats have been trying to undo since it took effect. There was some lag but that is to be expected and it helped reduce the deficit, you know, the reductions the commiecrats are claiming credit for.
What sequester???
Don't you mean the "OBAMAQUESTER?"
Funny how at the time the Right credited Obama 100% for the Obamaquester when he outsmarted the Right and got them to agree to cuts in the bloated wasteful military budget equal to any cuts elsewhere.

"Republican obstruction"?? :lol:

Harry need only look in his desk's wastebasket, at the stack of Republican-passed Bill's to see the definition of "obstruction"
:cuckoo:
 
Anything they have even tried to do had nothing to do with helping the economy because they didn't want Obama to get credit. Anything they will try to do will fail because Obama has a veto pen waiting for anything having to do with Keystone, Healthcare or anything he doesn't feel is good for America.

They've been castrated so relax and watch them writhe.
you don't get it when your boy king Starts a veto on every bill the public will know who the real obstruction is

Relax. We'll see who takes credit for obstruction. Obama now looks like David in a David and Goliath scenario.
 
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Friday laughed off Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) recent attempt to claim credit for economic growth, arguing that Democratic policies helped the recovery despite overwhelming Republican obstruction since the beginning of the Obama presidency.

"If [Republicans] had cooperated with us even a little bit, the economy would have been even stronger than it is now," Reid said on NPR, his first public interview since an exercise accident left the Nevada Democrat bedridden with broken bones in the face as well as several broken ribs. "Think where the economy would be, if we didn't have programs like Cash for Clunkers and the bailout of Detroit," Reid said, referring to parts to the stimulus legislation passed early in the recession.

Reid further cited Wall Street reform legislation known as Dodd-Frank, the health insurance reform effort under the Affordable Care Act, FDA regulation of tobacco, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, as just a few Democratic successes in the past six years that have contributed to a growing economic recovery -- highlighted Friday by the latest employment reports showing 252,000 jobs gained in the month of December. He argued that Republicans had actually hurt the economy by blocking student loan reform and hikes in the minimum wage.

"We've done well with the economy. Is it perfect? Not a chance. We have ways to go," Reid added.

It's hilarious that obstructionist McConnell would have the balls to even bring up the subject. Jon Stewart also finds McConnell's claims hilarious.

You will note that there was little, if any recovery until the GOP took control of the House. You will further note that all attempts by the House to effect recovery were stymied by Reid the obstructionist.

BUT, the GOP controls all of Congress now. They will continue to try to effect recovery, but the obstructionist, barack obama has vowed to veto their legislation.

Which "Kill Obamacare" bill was responsible for our surging economy?

The Right are too stupid to realize they contradict themselves when they first try to take credit for the recovery since they took over the House and then in the next breath say all House attempts to effect a recovery were stymied by Reid. :cuckoo:
 
"If [Republicans] had cooperated with us even a little bit, the economy would have been even stronger than it is now,"

Exactly.

Neither McConnell nor any Congressional republican is in any position to claim credit for the economic recovery.

The Democrats had better start getting that message out now, I'm sure it will be confused later. As if they have done anything that would benefit Americans in years.

Republican insistence on austerity while we were attempting an economic recovery is what held back the recovery

Tonto is too much of a hack to notice stuff like that.

How many jobs bills did reid sit on from congress?

If you consider all those "Kill Obamacare Jobs Bills".....none
 
I'm sure McConnell laughed at Harry too when he got the shit kicked out of him the other day. And let's all sit up and take notice that Jon Stewart finds it funny too. He's such an important figure in today's politics.
Harry the drunk fell down again

Recovery did start after Republicans took away Democrat vetoproof majority

Republicans Have a Veto-Proof Math Problem

Democrats were hobbled in the midterm elections, but they still have enough votes to prevent the opposing party from doing what it wants.

Behold Washington's new math.

The first anti-Obamacare bill of the new Congress, the Save American Workers Act of 2015, was written to undo the part of the law that defines "full employment" as holding a job for as little as 30 hours per week. It passed, and on the way, it became even more partisan in color than the 2014 version of the bill. In the last Congress, 18 Democrats voted with every Republican to pass the bill, but Thursday only 12 did, including all but one of the 2014 supporters (not Georgia Rep. Sanford Bishop) and two new Blue Dogs (Florida Rep. Gwen Graham, Nebraska Rep. Brad Ashford).

By turning on the bill, the Democrats made clear that they would sustain the veto already promised by President Obama, and, yes, they have the votes to do so. If every member of the 114th House of Representatives shows up for a vote, 48 Democrats need to join every Republican to override a veto. Three times this week, when the GOP brought forward bills to approve the Keystone pipeline and delay part of the Volcker Rule, the Democrats denied them all but a handful of votes
