Pelosi to GOP: Pass the bill

Nancy Pelosi says Eric Cantor and his fellow Republicans shouldn't try to dilute the impact of President Obama's jobs proposal by breaking it up in to several smaller pieces.

?He introduced it as one bill,? House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday, raising one finger for emphasis.

?It doesn?t mean that every piece of what the president was saying, that everybody was saying ?oh my gosh, I?m so glad about that,?? she said during her weekly press conference. ?But this is, again, a compromise.?

While Pelosi is on the same page as the White House, Cantor has been saying that Republicans should attempt to "peel off" the elements of the President Obama's jobs bill that they like while tossing aside the stuff they don't like.

Of course, given that they don't like the parts of the bill that would actually create jobs, Cantor's proposal is obviously just an effort to scuttle the bill without getting blamed for killing it. Whatever happens, the fact that it's this hard to get Republicans to even consider maybe possibly doing something about jobs is about as good an argument as you'll find for why House Democrats should?and probably will?retake the majority in 2012.
