Officially, Obama's bill does not exist and the bridge he wants to repair will take more than three years before any jobs can be counted.

Over at White House Dossier, Keith Hoffler gives us this story, a demonstration of just vacant Obama's sense of moral authority really is:

President Obama’s decision to travel next Thursday to the failing Brent Spence Bridge in Cincinnati is a remarkable slap at both House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell at the very moment Obama says he is trying to work with the GOP leadership to pass a jobs bill.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced the trip during today’s briefing, calling the bridge “functionally obsolete” and in “need of so many significant repairs.” Obama will showcase the bridge as an example of the work projects that can be targeted by his American Jobs Act proposal.

The bridge connects Cincinnati with Covington, Kentucky, making Obama’s highlighting of its disrepair bad public relations for both McConnell – the Republican senator from Kentucky – and Boehner.

While not within Boehner’s Eighth Congressional District, it’s just a few miles away, and the television coverage from local Cincinnati news outlets of Obama’s visit will be beamed directly into populous area’s of the Speaker’s district.

The clear effort to put Boehner and McConnell on the spot comes just six days after the president’s trip last Friday to the Richmond district of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, where Obama launched his effort to sell the American Jobs Act outside of Washington.

Carney denied that the White House had chosen the bridge to slight the Speaker.

It’s a bridge that’s in great need of repair. It’s a bridge that’s relatively easy to get to from Washington. It’s a bridge — you know, it’s a bridge that…

It’s Obama second trip to Ohio, a key presidential swing state, to promote his jobs plan. end of story.

A couple of thoughts: does Obama think he will keep up the intensity of his ridiculous attack on the GOP throughout the coming 13 months ??

I say "ridiculous" for two of reasons. First, The "bill" with which Obama is beating the GOP over the head has not been sent to the CBO for financial review (called "scoring") AS REQUIRED BY LAW, nor has it been sent to the House, where all financial proposals must go.

Officially, the American Jobs Act does not exist.

Secondly, the bridge in the above story, if specifically singled out by Obama for his jobs bill propaganda, is a job that is at least three years into the future as far as the permit process is concerned, and, at least another two years in construction. . . . . .maybe five years. It cannot have anything to do with a solution for the current jobless crisis.

From proposal to job, this whole thing is a an absolute sham.
