Too Funny: GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert Nabs Name “American Jobs Act” After No Dem Files Bill On Obama’s Behalf…

Snooze you lose.

(The Foundry) — President Obama repeatedly asked members of Congress to pass the American Jobs Act last week. But when no Democrat filed Obama’s bill after he presented it to Congress, a conservative congressman swiped the name for his own legislation.

The American Jobs Act introduced in the House of Representatives looks quite different from the version President Obama outlined in his speech to Congress. Instead of hiking taxes on working Americans to pay for another stimulus, Rep. Louie Gohmert’s (R-TX) legislation offers a tax cut.

    Our party is getting bolder by the minute. I love it!

    Now we can claim truthfully that we did vote for “The American Jobs Act”.

    Let Obama and his acolytes explain why no one from the Democrat party was willing to introduce the bill.

    They need to put the big rush on this. “Pass it so they can see what’s in it”.
    As long as the name remains, I’d bet there will be some Dems who would vote for it.

    This really does show what a rank amateur Obama is.

    He’s spent the last two weeks talking about his supposed great jobs bill that doesn’t even exist.

    At least Ghomert only stole the name of P-BO’s bill, Dear Leader, on the other hand, has stolen our pride, our dignity, and maybe our future.

    The utter CHEEK of Louie! Looks like the Pubs are no
    longer quivering in Obama’s shadow. It was never much

    “Shouldn’t this now be reported on AttackWatch?”

    Funny you should mention that soon to disappear website. I reported myself to them this morning for failing to pray for obama’s re-election in 2012. LOL. I am wondering if I can look forward to just an IRS audit? Or am I know on a list for being sent to a re-education camp? LOL

    Maybe if one of the leftards ever steps up to offer Obama’s bill, they may have to change its name to the “NO AMERICANS JOB ACT” given Obama’s phony jobs track record.

    So essentially our elected officials are trolling reality?
    All this chanting here about passing this bill seems a tad bit silly, you all realize this is just another tax cut(All the way to 0) for corporations that are already sitting on trillions and isn’t going to be creating jobs right?
