What is happening with Obama's jobs bill

On September the 8th, Obama met with a joint session of congress and presented his so-called "jobs" bill. Since then, this proposal has morphed into a 1.5 trillion dollar tax bill. Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leaders, was the sponsor of this bill in that house, but has put off action on the bill for several weeks. The Senate is taking a seven day break, beginning next week. With its return, Reid has several bills on the agenda before getting to this new Obama monstrosity.

In the House of Representatives, Democrat sponsors waited for two and half weeks before presenting the bill to that body of legislators. And, before they can consider its statement, the bill has to be "scored" by the non-partisan CBO (Congressional Budget Office). That will take a couple of weeks. Following that assignment, the bill will be introduced into the several committees having to do with the specifics of the bill. In fact, it is unclear to this editor as to whether there is any democrat sponsorship for this bill as I write. Nothing can happen in the House unless and until that issue is resolved.

Understand that Obama's strategy of "divide and conquer" is not working as he intended. He did not come to the bill's primary features in conference with other Democrat leaders. He is much more a rogue politician than many of you know. More importantly, he did not bother to work "across the aisle" in developing his "plan." In fact, he refused a meeting with JohnBoehner and Eric Cantor, the top two House leaders, a request they made the morning of his Thursday speech. In fact, if you think about it, the most glaring omission in his "jobs bill," is his failure to work with all parties involved in the legislative process. Instead, he made the "bi-partisan" decisions himself . . . . . . . all by his lonesome. He calls this bill a "bi-partisan effort" because it includes features that have been "recommended" by the GOP in times past and under very differing circumstances. "I made the decisions for them. Therefore, the bill is "bi-partisan."
Incredible.

More than this, he brags about the bill being "fully paid for." Of course, no one can know this until the Congressional Budget Office analyzes the bill. I mean, this whole thing is such a farce.
