Obama and Cantor are all smiles as JOBS Act is signed into law
By Jonathan Easley
April 5, 2012


After clashing repeatedly last year, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and President Obama made nice on Thursday as Obama signed Cantor’s JOBS Act into law.

But the strain has eased this year, and the two men were all smiles in the Rose Garden as the president affixed his signature to legislation that had been a top priority of Cantor’s.

“We have a very difficult economic situation still,” Cantor said. “The president said today that he has always believed that it is the private sector that is the job generator in this country. I agree with him. I think most Americans agree with him."

The president was joined on stage by Cantor and four other Republicans: Reps. Spencer Bachus (Ala.), Patrick McHenry (N.C.) and Scott Garrett (N.J.), along with Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.). Democratic Reps. John Larson (Conn.), John Carney (Del.) and Terri Sewell (Ala.) were also on hand, as was D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton.
