Name One Thing Republicans Have Done To Help President Obama Create Jobs

Whenever I get into a discussion with a Republican I ask them to "Name One Thing Republicans Have Done To Help President Obama Create Jobs". They always try to change the subject. They know......

After 7 years of opposing anything the president tried to do to create jobs, from the stimulus to extending unemployment, and infrastructure spending, they now say vote for us to create jobs. 7 years of sabotage, and they want a reward? Austerity!

This is sick.

Republicans belong in asylums, not in government.

Oh wait, I must have been thinking about something else.

No, can't think of anything they have helped the President do. Nothing, NATTA!

I just had a FB conversation yesterday about this very issue. The woman went into the "both GOP and Dems are awful" routine. She whined about the economy, but refused to acknowledge that the GOP has purposely refused to vote on a jobs bill because they don't want to give Obama any successes. Envy and hatred are what fuels the GOP. Envy and hatred before country. Republicans belong in prisons, preferably privatized prisons.
