RUSH: President Obama says he\u2019s going to keep pounding away at Congress to pass his $447 billion jobs plan. If lawmakers don\u2019t do enough to help the economy, he says, then we\u2019ll get a new Congress. Now, we\u2019re gonna get a new president at the same time that we get a new Congress. Speaking of Obama\u2019s jobs bill, while he\u2019s pressing Congress to pass it, Dingy Harry said last night that when the Senate returns from a week-long vacation they will work instead on a bill that would push to label China a currency manipulator. That\u2019s gonna take precedence over Obama\u2019s jobs bill. They\u2019re gonna go on vacation first, they got another week off, which is all fine with us, and then when they come back Obama\u2019s jobs bill is not going to be the focus. <\/p>\n

Here is Dingy Harry. This is from this morning, a Capitol Hill press conference. Reporter said, “[Dingy] Harry, can you tell us when you\u2019re gonna take up the president\u2019s jobs bill?”<\/line><\/p>\n

REID: I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything more important for a jobs measure than China trade. That\u2019s what we\u2019re gonna work on next week. We understand that there\u2019s conversations going on about the president\u2019s jobs bill, which I support, I introduced it, and we\u2019ll get to that. But let\u2019s get some of these things done that we have to get done first.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They don\u2019t want any part of that jobs bill, folks. Dingy Harry is the Senate sponsor but he doesn\u2019t want anything to do with it, and the Washington Times has a story about the media being shocked here that Dingy Harry is not making Obama\u2019s jobs bill a priority. Now, Dingy Harry is the sole sponsor of Obama\u2019s jobs bill in the Senate, and it\u2019s gonna have to wait \u2019til they come back from vacation and after they take up the effort to get the Treasury department to denounce the ChiComs and their currency manipulation. <\/p>\n

Wait \u2019til you see what the ChiComs have done<\/a>. The ChiComs have pulled a smart, slick play with electric cars and other things. They\u2019ve said, “Well, yeah, we\u2019ll build the electric car, but not \u2019til you give us the technology.” So the UAW and GM are gonna give the ChiComs essentially the technology to built Volts. No, no, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen here. No question about it. (interruption) What do you mean how can they agree with it? As far as they\u2019re concerned it\u2019s a good deal. Let me find this story here, because it just happened to come off the top of my head. You know, we\u2019ve got this idiot who used to work for Google that\u2019s out there asking Obama to raise his taxes. Remember we had the sound bite last week from Elizabeth Warren? That has gone viral now. Obama is quoting her without mentioning her and using that idiot from Google who stood up and asked for his taxes to be raised as the evidence for it. <\/p>\n

General Motors and the UAW have got some deal with the ChiComs to build electric cars over there. The ChiComs set some requirement that they get the technology, we\u2019re gonna give it to \u2019em. I don\u2019t <\/line>know how big a deal the technology is, but it is going to happen. But back to this Treasury department denouncing China\u2019s currency manipulation, I mean that is a meaningless, meaningless gesture. They don\u2019t want to take up the jobs bill. No Democrat in the House wants his name on it, no Democrat in the House wants any part of it, and Dingy Harry doesn\u2019t want any part of this. This is all for show. It is all for show. They don\u2019t ever want this thing coming up for a vote because it doesn\u2019t stand a prayer. And they don\u2019t want one of two things to happen: They don\u2019t want it going down in flames. That will look bad for Obama. And they don\u2019t want the occasional Democrat here voting for it because that would hurt them and their reelection effort. <\/line><\/p>\n

So this bill, this $447 tax bill, not a jobs bill, let\u2019s be clear about that, it is not a jobs bill. In fact, let\u2019s be clear about something else. Obama has never submitted a jobs bill. There is not one piece of legislation, whether it\u2019s the stimulus bill or Porkulus bill, whatever, there has not been one jobs bill submitted by Obama, and this one isn\u2019t, either. This is for show. This is all it\u2019s for, is talking points on the stump. It is designed to exist in principal only. It\u2019s designed to exist so that Obama can lie about what it really is \u2019cause it\u2019s not a jobs bill, and it exists so that the lack of action on it can be blamed on the Republicans as he does his combo Harry Truman\/FDR campaign, Truman running against the do-nothing Congress, and FDR just growing government on steroids. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s nothing more than an optic, it\u2019s a talking point. And Dingy Harry\u2019s lack of urgency is further proof that there\u2019s no intention here for this thing ever to even come up for debate. They don\u2019t even really want that to happen. It\u2019s all just for show. The Democrats want to put off the vote on Obama\u2019s tax bill, his jobs plan for as long as they can so they can demagogue against the Republicans for opposing it, pure and simple. Now, there will be a vote at some point. I mean at some point they\u2019re gonna have to make it look like there\u2019s action on this thing, and when that happens you\u2019re going to see Democrats vote against it, and it will be at a time late on a Friday when it won\u2019t get reported, there won\u2019t be much attention paid to it, maybe it will happen on the day of a Republican debate. Doubt that but anything\u2019s possible, any day where there will be other news that could cast a shadow over this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
