[quote] President Obama anticipated Republican resistance to his jobs program, but he is now meeting increasing pushback from his own party. Many Congressional Democrats, smarting from the fallout over the 2009 stimulus bill, say there is little chance they will be able to support the bill as a single entity, citing an array of elements they cannot abide.

The Democrats are being idiots here. They should be pushing this shit hard HARD. not Wafflifn on it.
You know why the President's poll numbers are low? YOUR LETTING THE REPUBLICANS DECIDE HOW YOU ACT AND REACT!
The Republicans have a FIRM control of the Narritive for everything coming out of Washington, and the Democrats don't have the balls to challenge that control.
If they would man up and grow a god damn pair, maybe your numbers wouldn't be so shit. MAYBE if you got your acts together and stood up as a Party, you could make the opposition look like the jackbooted control freak idiots that they are instead of the ones suppossedly "truly looking out for the little guy" while they line their own pockets and those of the super-rich.
And Landrieu, I say this as a oil field worker whose livlihood DEPENDS upon those same companies you are so interested in protecting.
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TAX THEM! Stop coddling the fucking Oil Companies and other Multi-international businesses out there. The big ones can afford it, and the little ones are only looking to get enough production going so they can be bought out by the bigger oil companies anyway.
