Obama takes heat from Democrats over jobs Posted on 12/3/2009
Democrats are charging that the White House is not doing enough to help the unemployed and are threatening to organize a march on Washington of jobless Americans.
Rep. Rush Comments Rep. Bobby Rush, D-IL, said, "Obviously there's something that's not getting through to them."
Rush said, "And we're going to let the White House and everybody who's concerned know that we have got people in our districts who are depending on us to deliver for them."
Jobs Now Caucus Rep. Rush, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-OH, and Rep. Candice Miller, R-MI, chair the new Congressional "Jobs Now Caucus," which is comprised of 112 Democrats and 17 Republicans.
Rush and Kaptur argue that a new jobs program is more important than health care reform, but stop short of threatening to hold up a vote on one of Obama's most important domestic policy initiatives.
Rep. Kaptur Comments Kaptur said, "We're not there yet."
Some of the proposals being floated by the caucus include: redirecting existing stimulus and TARP money to jobs programs and pressing for a new jobs bill, which they're careful not to call a "stimulus."
