Just a reminder: Obama’s jobs bill still has no cosponsors

Hot Air  "We have a federal system, not a parliamentary system, so our legislature doesn’t take votes of no-confidence to force an executive out of power.  But given the high-profile rollout of the AJA by Obama, including his demand for a joint session to escalate pressure for action, the lack of any co-sponsors on these bills is about as close as we’ll get to a vote of no confidence in this executive short of an outright floor-vote failure in the Senate on the bill."
Not even Kucinich? Bernie Sanders? Maxine Waters?

Obama jobs bill filed in the House ‘at the request of the president,’ but with no cosponsors
"Both versions, H.R. 12 and S. 1549 contain the same language and have no co-sponsors.
"“Members have not been asked to co-sponsor the bill. Instead, members have asked that the GOP leadership bring it up so we can address the need for job creation in this country,” a senior Democratic aide told TheDC. “We weren’t chasing co-sponsors.”’ "  The Daily Caller

Raising taxes in the middle of a Depression is suicide - Obama said so himself in 2009:-)
