WH fights back against repug obstructionists

GOP defies Obama overtures
---
Pushing back against the unanimous House Republican vote against President Obama’s stimulus plan, the White House plans to release state-by-state job figures “so we can put a number on what folks voted for an against,” an administration aide said.

“It’s clear the Republicans who voted against the stimulus represent constituents who will be stunned to learn their member of Congress voted against [saving or] creating 4 million jobs,” the aide said. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the lawmakers will have to answer to their constituents.

“I do believe that there will be people in districts all over the country that will wonder why, when there’s a good bill to get the economy moving again, why we still seem to be playing political gotcha," Gibbs said.

This is a terrific move - the obstructionists have to learn that there are consequences for playing politics instead of working with the Dems.
If these hypocrits hadn't demanded the removal of some of the job-making provisions in the bill in order to add more tax cuts that will do nothing for the economy, the bill would have been even better. That's what is so frustrating with bending over backwards for these scumbags - they don't really want to work with the Dems - they just want to play politics.
Now there will be a diluted bill - diluted due to capitulating to repug demands - and once it passes the repugs will be able to say that it didn't work as well as it should have - because of their dilutions!
It really is too bad that they care less for this country than they do for their party.
