Attempts to blame Obama for not working with Congress when it is so easy to prove how the Republicans have worked against him. All their actions are in the House and Senate records, including the use of filibuster in the Senate. Some of the bills that they filibustered - bills that would have helped American people in this difficult economy: H.R. 12 - Paycheck Fairness Act H.R. 448 -- Elder Abuse Victims Act H.R. 466 - Wounded Veteran Job Security Act H.R. 515 - Radioactive Import Deterrence Act H.R. 549 -- National Bombing Prevention Act H.R. 577 - Vision Care for Kids Act H.R. 626 - Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act H.R. 1029 - Alien Smuggling and Terrorism Prevention Act H.R. 1168 -- Veterans Retraining Act H.R. 1171 - Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program Reauthorization H.R. 1293 -- Disabled Veterans Home Improvement and Structural Alteration Grant Increase Act H.R. 1429 -- Stop AIDS in Prison Act H.R.5281 -- DREAM Act S.3985 -- Emergency Senior Citizens Relief Act S.3816 -- Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act S.3369 -- A bill to provide for additional disclosure requirements for corporations, labor organizations, Super PACs and other entities S.2237 -- Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act S.2343 -- Stop the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act S.1660 -- American Jobs Act of 2011 S.3457 -- Veterans Jobs Corps Act James Zadroga 9/11 Health Bill -- seeks to provide free medical coverage for responders and survivors who were exposed to toxins after the attacks - this one passed in the House but could not get brought up in the Senata. On the House side, every single Republican, including Paul Ryan, voted against the Statutory Pay-As-u-Go Act, which forces Congress to pay for new legislation through either budget cuts or revenue increases. Gee, that sounded like a responsible idea! Youd think that by helping to pass these bills, Republicans could boast a solid record on fiscal responsibility, job creation, veterans affairs, anti-terrorism, senior citizens and, hell, 9/11 workers. Instead, they blocked all of it. Jobs for military veterans, tax cuts for small businesses -- you name it. Why? So President Obama and the Democrats could be accused of failure. These are the guys you want to support? The people that did everything they could to hold DOWN economy recovery so that they could say that Obama failed?
