Dear Congress: The more you block the jobs bills, the more we OWS
Thuglicans ran in 2010 on jobs jobs jobs. The thuglicans promised jobs jobs jobs. Then they played with deficit BS instead of jobs jobs jobs. Thuglicans say they are going to 'hang the president with the misery index'. Thuglicans make the misery index higher. The misery is that of the 99%. We are the 99%.

The president has been pushing Congress to approve a combination of tax cuts and new government spending designed to boost the economy and lower the 9.1 percent unemployment rate. Twice in the last two weeks, Senate Republicans have blocked all or part of the president's plan. On a three-day bus tour of Virginia and North Carolina, Obama vowed to keep trying.

"If they vote against these proposals, if they ... say no to steps we know will put people back to work right now, they're not going to have to answer to me," he said at a fire station in North Chesterfield, Va., on Wednesday. "They're going to have to answer to you."

Obama was speaking in a congressional district represented by House Republican Leader Eric Cantor.
