Don’t worry, Nancy, we’ll pick up the slack.

    (Politico) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says that the Republican leadership’s decision to forgo a direct response to President Barack Obama’s jobs speech Thursday is “not only disrespectful to him, but to the American people.”

    The California Democrat, in a Tuesday night statement, blasted the tactical decision of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) not to take to the airwaves to state what’s otherwise clear: He doesn’t agree with the bulk of Obama’s proposals.

    “In nearly 250 days of being in the Majority, House Republicans have not passed a single piece of legislation to create jobs,” Pelosi said in the statement. “The Republican silence on Thursday evening will speak volumes about their lack of commitment to creating jobs.”

    A GOP aide quipped: “This is just dumb. The former speaker is criticizing us for passing up an opportunity to criticize the president.

She is completely nuts, but the moonbats in her district would never give up her seniority to elect someone sane.  Plus they'd only elect another damn' moonbat anyway.

Republicans Remind Obama: Democrats Are Blocking House-Passed Jobs Bills
Wednesday, September 07, 2011
By Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - Republican leaders are reminding President Obama that the House of Representatives has passed more than a dozen "pro-growth" measures to spur job creation, but with one exception, Senate Democrats have refused to consider any of those bills.

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

There is a legitimate reason for the republicans not to respond.  Obama's speech is going to run up right to the kickoff of the game.  Who is going to be watching politics while the game is on?

Funny thing was from 2007 until 2010 the democrat majority didn't pass a single piece of legislation to create jobs either, of course if the GOP house passes a bill, Reid will just kill it in the Senate anyway.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Since Obama is simply regurgitating the same old crap, of course the GOP will be silent.  As the CBO says "We can't score speeches".  But, I do think it would be hysterical if Boehner came on with a 3 second rebuttal and said "Are you ready for some football?"

The last time that a republican member of the house gave a quick and honest response to one of 0's speeches the left bitched about it and forced the congressman to apologize for telling the truth. I think his name was Joe Wilson.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

Not true.  She just happens to be a product of the World's Largest Insane Asylum (San Fagsicko), whose inmates keep sending her to Washington to represent them.  They'll keep voting her back into office LOOOOONG after the crazy bitch dies of botox poisoning.

Judging by some of her recent public comments, I'm wondering if senility is setting in, seriously.  Not that it would keep her from getting elected as long as she wants to run in her district, again said in all seriousness.
