President Tantrum: Eat My Peas and Do My Homework - John Ransom - Townhall Finance: The Republicans are trying to get a vote on the Senate floor for the exact jobs bill that Obama has been puffing up his chest about for the last three weeks.
You know? The jobs bill that he recruited sixth-graders to write to Congress about as he kicked off the It’s All Your Fault reelection tour against a "do nothing" Congress?
President Truman? No. President Tantrum.
"For those of you who did skip class today, I've got a homework assignment for you," Obama told a crowd of kids in North Carolina early in September after the jobs bill was announced but before it was fully presented to Congress, "tell your Congress person that the time for gridlock and games is over; the time for action is now…. You can write a letter. When was the last time you did that?"
Very innovative strategy from the Obama administration: getting sixth-graders to write lobbying letters to Congress about a bill that hadn’t even made it through the inboxes in Congress. “Did you pass it yet? Did you pass it yet? Did you pass it yet? Did you pass it yet?”
