Conservative Nabs Name ‘American Jobs Act’ After Obama Delay (no Dem would file Obama's bill)

President Obama repeatedly asked members of Congress to pass the American Jobs Act last week. But when no Democrat filed Obama’s bill after he presented it to Congress, a conservative congressman swiped the name for his own legislation. The American Jobs Act introduced in the House of Representatives looks quite different from the version President Obama outlined in his speech to Congress. Instead of hiking taxes on working Americans to pay for another stimulus, Rep. Louie Gohmert’s (R-TX) legislation offers a tax cut. UPDATE: Gohmert’s bill now has a number. It’s HR 2911. Text of the legislation is below.

Absolutely HILARIOUS! Obama has been touting his "American Jobs Act" for a week now and the bill with that name was drafted by CONSERVATIVES!

He would look even more ridiculous for insisting no Democrat actually introduce the bill he has been flying around the United States chanting “Pass this bill” to everyone about.

It zeros out the corporate and alternative minimum taxes.

Hopefully the House will pass this new bill under the same name. Since most Americans don’t pay close enough attention to know that it’s a different piece of legislation, what are they going to think when Obama vows to veto “his own bill?”

Oh man... THIS is FUNNY!!!

The Obama administration is starting to look like a Three Stooges short.

The Republicans should hurry up and pass it. Then kick back and smile as the Obamanites go into full demented freakout mode!

Now Obama is the gang who could not shoot straight.

The fact no democrat backs him is making a primary challenge more and more likely.

Seems like it might be time for 0 to pack up the TelePrompTers and move on to another gig. This one is not working out so well.
