From the SRCC: While you wait

Hello Mr. President...You can't even get all of the Senate Democrats to back your Stimulus II.

From the Senate Republican Communications Center:

While You Wait…

Various Senate Democrats Want You To Know That They Still Oppose President Obama’s Stimulus Bill


Dems Careful To Note They ‘Would Vote Against,’ ‘Cannot Support Final Passage’

SEN. BEN NELSON (D-NE): “No, no, no… With the current offsets that are essentially tax increases? No… This is a time to be cutting. The cutting stops when the taxes increase.” (“Senate GOP To Force Vote On Obama Jobs Bill,” The Hill, 10/5/11)

· “Nelson has spoken disparagingly of Obama’s proposal…” (“Democrats Scramble To Save Face On President Obama's Jobs Bill,” The Hill, 10/10/11)

SEN. JON TESTER (D-MT): “I’m not crazy about it and I’m not going to support it in its current form…” (“Tester: Jobs Bill Needs Changes,” Montana Standard, 10/8/11)


SEN. JIM WEBB (D-VA): “I cannot support final passage of the bill in its current form.” (“Webb To Vote To Move Forward Obama’s ‘Jobs’ Bill,” The Hill, 10/11/11)

· “Terrible… We shouldn’t increase taxes on ordinary income.” (“Hill Dems Pick Apart Obama Jobs Plan,” Politico, 9/14/11)

SEN. JOE LIEBERMAN (ID-CT): “If a vote were called on the American Jobs Act as it is now… I would vote against… the bottom line here is that I don't believe that the potential in this act for creating jobs justifies adding another half trillion dollars to our almost $15 trillion national debt.” (Sen. Lieberman, Floor Remarks, 10/11/11)

SEN. JOE MANCHIN (D-WV): “The ugly part of that act is $450 billion of spending, after we've spent, spent, spent…” (“Dick Durbin: We Don't Have The Votes To Pass Obama's Jobs Bill Yet,” CBS News, 9/30/11)

· Manchin “…opposes underlying jobs plan.” Manu Raju, @mkraju, Twitter, 10/11/11)
