Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said it was Republicans’ fault the August jobs report wasn’t better.
“While our recovery is still moving too slowly for many Americans, job growth would likely have been even stronger if Republicans had not blocked Democratic efforts to hire more teachers, firefighters and police officers,” Reid said in a statement Friday.
The Bureau for Labor Statistics reported that the economy added 96,000 jobs in August and unemployment fell to 8.1 percent, but Reid said quicker economic recovery is needed.
“The best way to speed up our recovery is for Republicans to stop their knee-jerk obstruction of every effort Democrats put forward and start working across the aisle to find common ground,” Reid said.
So Republicans are to blame for DEMOCRATS voting AGAINST Obama's Job's Bill?
By the way......even Harry Reid HIMSELF voted AGAINST IT!!!!
The Republican House has passed quite a few jobs bills that weren't even considered in the Senate or by Obama. Obama has been telling them to pass his jobs bill while ignoring theirs.
Elections have consequences...the American people said in 2010 that they were sick of Obama and the Democrats having complete control. Why should things have not changed? Obama needed to compromise if he wanted what he wanted passed to be passed. The Republicans also needed to compromise if they wanted what they wanted passed to be passed. Why should only the Republicans compromise when the American people elected them because they didn't want the Democrats to continue to have control of everything?
Why can't the Democrats get that elections have consequences? If they love compromise so much, then why do THEY refuse to compromise?!?!?!?
I absolutely can not understand how in the heck that guy got re-elected? I know, blame the crappy candidate the Republicans put up or blame his money and pull, whatever, I think he has to be among the jerkiest people in the congress. Maybe he is the one teaching Obama how to say "it isn't my fault"

Sharron Angle is the reason he got re-elected. The Nevada Senate election in 2010 should have been easy win for the GOP and would have been if Sharron Angle was not the candidate.
Hell, if I was a Nevadan, I might simply not have voted in that election. I certainly wouldn't have voted for Harry Reid but I couldn't have voted for that crazy woman.
Heck......the Democrats have the MAJORITY in the Senate and they STILL couldn't pass that Jobs Bill......but it's ALL because the Republicans "obstructionism".
The even sadder part is that Liberals are so weak-minded that they'll lap it up and nod in agreement.

Do you really not know what a filibuster is? Or are you just pretending to be ignorant?

^^^^^^
This.
You ran that nail through the board with one swing.
Teachers, police and fire are all local government jobs. So if the Fed hands money to states that's "creating jobs" ?
They did that already with the stimulus which was not open-ended and all those jobs ended and the people were layed off when the money dried up.
