Over Ten Democrats Break Rank With Leaders, Vote for Republican Jobs Bill; Bill Still Fails

Oh, wait, I thought it was Republicans being obstructionist:

Similarly, senators blocked a Republican-backed proposal to repeal a 3% withholding requirement for all government contractors. Businesses have decried it as burdensome.

The measure was part of Obama's broad jobs package and has Democratic supporters. However, Democrats and Republicans disagreed over how to offset the costs of eliminating the withholding. Senate blocked the bill by a 57-43 vote.

After the bill nearly passed, with strong bi-partisan support, Obama whined:

"Every American deserves an explanation as to why Republicans refuse to step up to the plate and do what's necessary to create jobs and grow the economy right now."

Obviously no one bothered to tell him that Democrats blocked the bill and Mr. Obama wasn't bright enough to do the research himself.
