McConnell is demanding a time certain on when the estate tax would move before agreeing to any deal on the jobs bill.
-- This piece of crap isn't a jobs bill, it's porkulus 3. --
Yep, that and worse. If the Republicans won't accept a measure without a counterbalance (the estate tax revision), then it's a cinch that the "jobs" part is crap.
If the "jobs" part is seen as good by Republicans, then they wouldn't condition their agreement on a quid pro quo.
Obama — Got to have a win, anything.
