Least we forget, Reid is at least as stupid and incompetent as Joe Biden...
Reid resists McConnell’s move to take up the president’s jobs bill « Hot Air
Good questions all. Obama is in quite a pickle.
McConnell planned to add the AJA as an amendment to the China currency bill currently under consideration in the Senate. I wanted to disabuse [Obama] of the notion that somehow were unwilling to vote on his proposal, McConnell said. But Reid filled the tree, taking advantage of his right of first recognition and adding so many amendments to the bill that McConnell was unable to tack the AJA to it, too. Reid then even went so far as to accuse McConnell of obstruction and engaging in a political stunt.
But, however he did it, the message Reid sent was loud and clear: He will do whatever it takes to delay a vote on the AJA, perhaps because he knows he lacks a filibuster-proof supermajority, perhaps because he knows support for the legislation will do little for Democrats on the campaign trail.
Right away is a relative term, Reid said, to explain why hes untroubled by the presidents repeated calls for immediate action.
In light of the woeful lack of support for Obamas bill in both chambers, how long will the president maintain the pretense of urgency hes adopted to push the passage of his bill? How long will he pretend its a medicine with no unintended side effects for all our economic ails?
