Bipartisan Rejection of Stimulus Jr.

Repudiation.

President Obama is an increasingly unpopular president whom the American people trust less and less on economic matters, and his repeated failure to secure Senate Democrat votes for his American Jobs Act is only showcasing this fact.

Last night, the Senate voted 50-50 to not end debate on a portion of Obama’s plan that would have given billions to states for government employee compensation. Every Republican, two Democrats, and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., voted against Obama’s bill. In addition to the two Democrats who voted not to end debate, Sens. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., and Mark Pryor, D-Ark., two other Democrats Sens., Joe Manchin, D-W.V., and Jon Tester, D-Mont., both said they objected to the bill and would have voted no on final passage. That means a clear bipartisan majority of the Senate firmly rejects Obama’s spending agenda.

It certainly doesn't help when the guy shepherding this scam is so publicly idiotic.
