Is Barack Obama existing in some sort of alternate reality?  He has been parading around this country squawking, “Pass this bill!  Pass this bill!” in regards to his (save my) jobs bills.  He turns up the heat this week over the fact that the bill hasn’t yet been passed, and he places the blame for that squarely on the backs of … Republicans?

Since Obama has been so adamant about passing his bill, Republicans in the Senate said, “Fine, we’ll give your bill the immediate up-or-down vote that it deserves.”  So yesterday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to force a vote on Obama’s precious jobs bill.  Guess what happened?  It was blocked by the Democrats.  Harry Reid objected to McConnell’s motion and killed the chance for the Senate to vote on the bill.  Why?  Because Harry Reid knows that, even though the Democrats have a majority in the Senate, he still doesn’t have enough votes to pass Obama’s precious jobs bill!  But that’s not what Harry Reid will tell you.  He says that “a majority of the Senate” supports Obama’s bill.  So if the majority of the Senate supports the bill, and Barack Obama claims that the bill needs to be passed immediately, then why not just vote on the bill and be done with it?  Because Harry Reid is full of yaksqueeze.  That’s why. 

But Harry Reid isn’t the only one that is full of yaksqueeze.  Just minutes after Harry Reid killed the effort to vote on Obama’s jobs bill, Obama’s 2012 campaign manager sent the following email to supporters.  I’ll include my rebuttals along the way …

President Obama is in Dallas today urging Americans who support the American Jobs Act to demand that Congress pass it already.

Obama seems mighty eager to have Congress pass his bill.  In fact, in his speech in Dallas that the email just mentioned, Obama said: "And if you won’t do that, at least put this jobs bill up for a vote so that the entire country knows exactly where every Member of Congress stands.”  Oh you mean like the Republicans tried to do, but your Democrats in Congress blocked?

Though it's been nearly a month since he laid out this plan, House Republicans haven't acted to pass it. And House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is out there actually bragging that they won't even put the jobs package up for a vote -- ever.

Is Obama aware that his bill has to pass both chambers of Congress?  It’s not just the House that’s the issue here .. what about his Democrat-majority Senate?  And when it comes to Eric Canto, he has not said that Obama’s job package won’t be put up for a vote.  What he said was, “this all-or-nothing approach is just not acceptable.”  But while we are on the subject of jobs bill that apparently won’t even be put up for a vote, how about the dozen jobs bills that the House has already passed and that the Senate has refused to bring up even for discussion, let alone a vote.

It's not clear which part of the bill they now object to: building roads, hiring teachers, getting veterans back to work. They're willing to block the American Jobs Act -- and they think you won't do anything about it.

Find me anyone who wouldn’t want to see roads built, teachers hired or veterans working.  This is nothing but pandering to the mindless whims of the masses.  There are other ways to make these things happen other than more government spending on failed stimulus policy.

But here's something you can do: Find Republican members of Congress on Twitter, call them out, and demand they pass this bill.

Go ahead and contact those evil Republican Senators who tried to get the Senate to vote on Obama’s jobs bill.  While you are at it, contact those evil House Republicans who have already passed plans for job creation but are waiting on the Senate to act.
