Issa: ‘ZERO #jobs Have Been Created From Obama’s Speeches’

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) had a snarky response to President Barack Obama's speech Wednesday in Illinois about his economic and domestic policy agenda.

The congressman tweeted: "ZERO #jobs have been created from Obama's speeches."

Boehner: Obama’s Speech ‘An Easter Egg With No Candy In It’...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023331197

Look at who is trying to undermine the President's speech.

I mean, a positive statement about what can be done has to be dismissed.

Down the road, someone other than the President will suggest he do this, and it will be met with something about he "lacks the courage," or "he doesn't want to" or some other dismissive statement. Case in point:

Problem:

These workers haven't had a raise in 22 years (SEIU)

Solution:

Tipped Minimum Wage Increase Would Give Millions Of Workers First Raise In 22 Years (SOTU proposal)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023329624#post26

Congress should get right on that, but they aren't going to because, you know, it was a "speech" and the proposal will never pass Congressional obstruction.

Oh, and bully pulpit.

1. Fuck this asshole. nt

[Wounded Bear]

2. As opposed to Issa....

who has in the past provided work for several law enforcement agencies.

[Scurrilous]

3. The Obama detractors are in full whine mode.

@#$% 'em!

[dionysus]

17. joining our resident ones...

[Scurrilous]

18. I was in no way shape or form referring to our fellow progressives here on DU in my post.

[Thinkingabout]

4. But just look at the number of jobs Issa has created, and Issa is now a paid liar.

Issa is another one who may not show his intelligence when speaking but if he kept his mouth shut he would sound better.

[JoePhilly]

5. I get the sense Issa has a DU account.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. yes he will have his men here

[hobbit709]

6. But many thousands have been lost by your obstructionism.

A modern day Bourbon, who should get the same treatment.

[MineralMan]

7. Odd that Issa seems to be echoing some of the things posted here.

I find that odd, anyhow.

[bunnies]

8. Doesnt he have a Benghazi to play with or something?

Go pull a toy out of your pathetic scandalbox and stfu, darell.

[Aristus]

9. Typical right-wing "All-he-ever-does-is-make-speeches" bullshit.

But when the President tries to get Congress up off their lazy Repuke asses, they stonewall. So I don't want to hear anything out of that goat-brained fuckstick...

[Fozzledick]

10. What about his speech writers?

Stupid statement, but an irrelevant distraction. What matters is how many millions of jobs have been lost due to the republicans' high-unemployment economic policies.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. And zero jobs have been created since the GOP ran on 'Jobs, jobs, jobs' in 2010.

[ProSense]

12. Republicans are trying to project failure when the problem is their obstruction. n/t

[CakeGrrl]

13. He's a jackass. -nt

[ProSense]

16. The speech will have the intended impact

exposing the Republicans for their obstruction.

[LondonReign2]

14. LOL

Waiting for Issa's list of his (Issa's) legislation that created jobs.

[AllINeedIsCoffee]

19. Sounds familiar.

[Cha]

20. ZERO freaking JOBS have been Created from Congress.. you

M*****F****** Derelict Assholes.

[Initech]

21. And Issa has created exactly zero jobs himself. Benghazi!!!!1!1!

[arely staircase]

22. well that is profound nt

[ProSense]

23. Yup,

kick to inject some anti-Republican sentiments.

[geek tragedy]

24. Which equals the collective number from Obamacare repeal votes, abortion votes,

and Darrel Issa's entire tenure in public life.

[freshwest]

25. And how many jobs have been lost on you and your fellow grifters' watch, Grand Theft Auto?

Sabotage: The Story Behind The Republican Party's "Top Political Priority"...

Democrats condemn GOP's plot to obstruct Obama as 'appalling and sad'

Roger Draper book details how in 2009 senior Republican figures planned a campaign to bring Washington to a standstill

Democrats have rounded on revelations about a private dinner of House Republicans on inauguration day in 2009 in which they plotted a campaign of obstruction against newly installed president Barack Obama.

...The 15 Republicans were in a sombre mood as they gathered at the Caucus Room in Washington, an upscale restaurant where a New York strip steak costs $51.

Attending the dinner were House members Eric Cantor, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and Pete Sessions. From the Senate were Tom Coburn, Bob Corker, Jim DeMint, John Ensign and Jon Kyl. Others present were former House Speaker and future – and failed – presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and the Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who organised the dinner and sent out the invitations.
