More on Mitch McConnell’s curve ball [The Arena]

Throwing a curve ball.?
"So yesterday, I tested the President's rhetoric. I proposed that we do exactly what he wants and vote, right away, on this second stimulus bill he's proposed as the supposed solution to our jobs crisis."

In an effort to illustrate just how serious the Democrats in congress are about passing President Obama’s latest “jobs bill,” Kentucky’s senior senator, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell tossed a curveball yesterday by calling for a vote on the half-trillion dollar American Jobs Act.  “I agree with the president, I think he’s entitled to a vote on his jobs bill,” McConnell said on the Senate floor as he tried to force an immediate vote on the AJA by attaching it to unrelated legislation.

Senator McConnell says Americans aren’t amused by worsening economy [The Arena]

President Obama makes jokes about the state of the economy. Senator McConnell doesn't see any humor in massive unemployment.

Amid the onslaught of bad news last week, President Obama’s message was that we’d hit some “bumps in the road” and that people need to be patient in the face of what called economic “headwinds.”  He even joked about the wildly mistaken predictions he and others at the White House made a couple years back about the job-creating potential of the Stimulus.

I was disappointed when I learned our latest stimulus wouldn’t come in a single payment. So much for buying airfare to some exotic destination!
