"Democrats had voted down a motion for a vote on Obama's jobs bill,"

McConnell was playing childish political games trying to earmark the bill onto another unrelated bill in an attempt to force it through before it was finalized. It is coming up for a vote likely next week.

Non sense, Obama wanted a vote NOW. Here was the opportunity. Once again the Dems play games.
