Obama To Cantor: Dismantle My Jobs Bill At Your Own Risk

Susan Crabtree

The White House Monday continued its war of words with House Republicans over their unwillingness to move his entire jobs package, confidently vowing to let voters decide how to react to Republicans' refusal to pass provisions such as infrastructure spending and retaining teachers.

"Congress can take it up, vote on it...then if there's a desire to take things out, we would accept that although we would not be satisfied by that... (President Obama) would say, 'Where's the rest of it? What about teachers and construction workers...or incentives to hire veterans?" White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters during a briefing Monday.

One reporter asked whether Obama is pushing passage as a way to Help Democrats gain the political upper hand over some vulnerable Republicans on specific popular issues, such as spending on infrastructure projects.

"To avoid anything like that, they could simply pass all of this," Carney responded.

3. I just saw a crawl on CNN that said "Cantor says the House will

not bring Obama's Jobs Bill to a vote." If he succeeds, I have no words.
