Memo to media: Republicans are blocking President Obama's jobs bill (and it's okay to say it)

These are the Democrats who stood with Republicans.

The Emphasis was on Democrats who did not support the
bill.

Of course all the Republicans opposed it, but Conservadems
make our Party look bad.

Why do so few seem so disinterested in this HERE? Nobody seems to care. I'm befuddled, as well as frazzled.
