Obama lays blame on potential job losses exactly where it belongs: On the GOP

Nice.

President Obama wrapped up his three-day bus trip through North Carolina and Virginia today by telling a group of firefighters that public safety jobs across the country basically depend on congressional Republicans.

"We'll see if they'll fight just as hard for your jobs as they fight for their jobs," Obama told members of Fire Station 9 in North Chesterfield, Va.

In other words, if those firefighters lose their jobs, it's the GOP's fault.

Americans are livid with government for paralysis in the face of economic calamity. It's important people know exactly who is to blame if additional drastic cuts slash into the ability of government to serve and protect us.

With Occupy Wall Street setting the terms of the economic debate with a message that resonates with Americans, and Obama (finally!) on the offensive on jobs, you can sense Republican nervousness. It leads to insipid sounds bites like this one:

"Let's park the campaign bus, put away the talking points, and do something to address this jobs crisis," McConnell said. "The American people want action. The election's 13 months away. Let's do what we were elected to do."

Obama has only been on that "campaign bus" for three days, yet they desperately want him off it, don't they? But what have McConnell and the GOP been doing the rest of the last three years?

1. And they are still whining about it. "Obama's Telling the American People the Truth;

and we don't come off looking too good". "And his bus is ugly." "Wah..Wah..Wah"....:cry:
