I read that there are zero co-sponsors of this Jobs Bill in either the House or Senate. It has no support.
I read that, too. No one wants to touch this with a 10 foot pole.

Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic Chairman John Larson introduced President Obamas American Jobs Act (S. 1549 and H.R. 12, respectively).
The President has drafted a plan that is focused on what the 14 million Americans who are out of work know they need - the simple dignity of a job, Chairman Larson observed. He deserves a vote on his plan in as timely a fashion as possible because those 14 million Americans cant wait the 14 months until the next election for this to be resolved.
