So far: 578 days since John Boehner said jobs will be ‘priority one’ (and he’s delivered none)

July 31, 2012

By Lee way

We’ve had some fun with Mitt Romney’s Gaffe-a-thon lately, but jobs are a serious matter in America. I don’t mean to take anything away from the Republican Presidential candidate – also known as the male Sarah Palin — but job creation is an important issue. So, let’s move on to John Boehner. As of today, it’s been 578 days since John Boehner became Speaker of the House. After taking the gavel from Nancy Pelosi, he promised to make jobs “priority one.â€�

The Tea Party made me do it!

Boehner said:

So today we are unveiling a Plan for America’s Job Creators that’s focused on creating lasting economic growth and job creation. It builds on our Pledge to America and the legislative action that we’re already taking this year to create jobs, which the Democrats continue to block.

Let’s look at that. The extremist party known as ‘The House’ which was taken over by the hijacked version of the Tea Party, has obstructed anything and everything the President has tried to accomplish, including the Jobs Bill. So far, John Boehner, the weeping Speaker has not delivered. Tea Party governance throughout the country has been an abysmal failure.

“Helping Americans get back to work is our number one priority, and we’re going to do everything we can to help create jobs and to boost our economy.�

(my bold)

‘Priority one’ was quickly redefined to: assaulting union rights, women’s reproductive rights and their health care, ObamaCare, ACORN, Voter suppression, government jobs, ‘Shariah law is a comin’ to Amerika’ (See: Michele Bachmann, or don’t), equality (see: most of them), education, privatizing prisons, eradicating Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and voucher programs, among others.

You’ve done enough ‘prioritizing’ Mr. House Speaker.  Most of us are aware that the Tea Party has Boehner in a testicle-grip, but that was his doing, his pandering and his appeasement to obstructionists. The ‘Job creators’ are us, the voters.

We need to end the madness; voters need to prioritize. We call it, voting out the riffraff.  It’s country before Party, not the reverse.

 They do seem to be awfully interested in vaginas.

And just what do you expect with a far left senate and exec branch?

Coal mining and oil. Not very diversified.
And high the highest uninsured people in the country.
and do those jobs pay living wages?

Quoting Jambo4:

Obama has pitched his job initiative several times.
But Allen west wouldn't have that in his site would he.
Cleaner energy
Teachers
Green manufacturing jobs
Technology
Science

But people will not lay their addiction to oil down

Diversified?  LOL ... a JOB is a JOB!  It's not a investment portfolio you are talking about.  You worry about your diversification there.  

BTW.. could you show me the percentages in these states that are jobs dedicated to Coal mining and oil.  I'm curious.

I wonder what Harry Reid did with all those bills the House passed and sent on to him for the Senate to debate, and vote on?  Does he still have them, or did he just toss them into File 13?  Seems the Senate side is where the hold-up is, nothing is getting done in THAT half of the house.  So, maybe someone should have a little talk with Harry, maybe get a couple of those bills voted on?
