As Pres BO calls on Congress to pass the "jobs bill now", he has run into a new opposition: Democrats! (Obama jobs bill still waits for action in the Senate)
Yes, it's opposition from Democrats who live in the real world. I mean the real world where people pay taxes and work for oil companies!
The WSJ has an interesting editorial about those Dems who are not going along with the latest version of "hope and change":
"But the bigger news may be how much resistance Mr. Obama's ideas are drawing from the Democrats who control the Senate.
Senators from energy-producing states object to targeting oil and gas companies.
"Just picking out one industry is not acceptable," said Alaska's Mark Begich.
Louisiana's Mary Landrieu added: "That offset is not going to fly, and [Mr. Obama] should know that."
Even New York's Chuck Schumer, of all unlikely partisans, has objections—notably to Mr. Obama's plan to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire on taxpayers earning more than $200,000 (or $250,000 for married couples):
"$250,000 makes you really rich in Mississippi, but it doesn't make you rich at all in New York, and there ought to be some kind of scale based on the cost of living on how much you pay."
Mr. Schumer didn't mention that one reason for the cost-of-living differential is the Empire State's own sky-high taxes, but the important political point is that the Democratic Party's chief Wall Street fund-raiser is tacitly acknowledging that raising taxes on the not-so-rich isn't popular."
Pres BO has clashed with reality again!
The "so-called rich" pay lots of taxes and contribute to campaigns.
The also employ lots of voters who call their US Senators when they hear a president attack their employers and put their jobs in jeopardy!
Pres BO has run into skeptics and they are Democrats....the same ones who will be asking real people in the real world for their votes in 2012!
