President Barack Obama took aim at Republican lawmakers Monday, accusing them of holding the public hostage to Washington politics by blocking extended unemployment benefits for millions of out of work Americans. (That's the lie)
[...]
On Monday, he sought to cast his Republican opponents as hypocritical for having voted for extensions of unemployment benefits when his Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush, was in the White House, but not now.(It's Bush's fault!!!)
[...]
The president said that the out-of-work people he hears from are "not looking for a handout. They desperately want to work. Just right now, they can't find a job." (Gee Mr. President, why is that....aren't you saving and creating millions of jobs??? What happened to the 2 stimulus bills????)
[...]
And now, here's the real kicker....
"Everyone agrees on extending the additional unemployment insurance, but the Democrat way is to insist we add it to the national debt at the same time, while blocking Republican efforts to pass the same extension without the debt," said Don Stewart, spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
So I say, Mr. President, pass the bill by CUTTING THE BUDGET, if you really cared for these poor, helpless people, you would, wouldn't you ????
