and start passing the jobs bills

four of which are BO requests. Harry must hate to see people go back to work...


An exasperated Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday tried to drive a wedge between President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Senate, pointing out that a series of jobs bills the president endorsed have already passed the House.

Boehner used his weekly press conference to respond to the “Startup America” initiative the president announced this week, in which the White House said Obama was sending to Congress legislative proposals to help small businesses and new companies.

House Republicans have noted with glee that they have already passed four of the bills Obama is “sending up.”

“Well guess what, Mr. President? We’ve done our work,” Boehner told reporters, employing a mocking tone that he's used repeatedly in recent weeks when discussing the president’s agenda. “Call [Majority Leader] Harry Reid [D-Nev.] and see if the Senate’s ever going to do anything over there.”
