Showing Original Post only (View all)Bashir: "You always wanted to undermine the President-but what you've done-is undermine the country" [View all]
Cantor:
... I think under the right leadership, we can do better.
Bashir:
BUT Mr Cantor is part of the Leadership of this country. He's the Majority Leader in the House. I'm certain the word 'Leader' is on his business card.
But Leader Cantor has done absolutely everything in his powers to be sure that not one of the President's policies on Job Creation, have ever seen the light of day.
Even when an independent analytics firm like Moody's estimates that the American Jobs Act would create about 2 Million new jobs, and raise GDP by a full 2 percentage points -- Mr Cantor prefers his own form of leadership, which is designed to crush Job Creation.
And Mr Cantor's approach has been shared by another 'Leader' in Job Crushing -- the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, a man who also made his monthly appearance today.
[...]
Bashir:
I can tell you the Speaker ................. is also too much of a coward to owe up to his all-important role in ensuring that the Economic Recovery of America is as fragile as it it today.
So well done Mr Cantor and Mr Boehner, Congratulations! You always wanted to undermine the President -- but what you've done, is undermine the country.

Let's hope that we never get another "free-trade" agreement signed by any President.

I wish WE would use that line -- I know Obama can't, but the rank and file could! nt

Romney and crew will make sure this betrayal by Republican leadership is twisted.

Martin Bashir would be the perfect replacement for David Gregory on Meet The Press.
