Speaker Nancy Peloski, in so many words, says the Democratic House is doing its job passing job bill after job bill, working to get the country on the road to recovery. It is the GOP filibuster in the Senate that is blocking things, stopping America from lifting herself out of the hole the George W. Bush Republicans dug and pushed her to fall into. The lady is right on.

From the Huffington Post -- "In a conference call with online reporters and bloggers, Pelosi made the case that had her chamber been given full control over the legislative process, both the party and country would be in a better place. But the Senate is a co-equal branch, and its procedural rules have forced either moderation or complete non-consideration of important reforms. The end product was, naturally, frustration among Democratic voters and progressive-leaning thinkers. But as the party has been urged by economists like the New York Times' Paul Krugman to do more on the job creation front, the Speaker stressed the need to draw distinctions. 'I appreciate what Paul Krugman says,' said Pelosi. 'It would be helpful though if some of those people who are saying these things [noted] that the House did more. Remember, we did more. We passed jobs bill after jobs bill after jobs bill that were not picked up in the Senate because of the need for the 60th vote... we know what we need to do and that's what binds our caucus.'"

What America needs is more Democrats, more elected to the House and to the Senate. What America needs is for Democrats to step up the fire against the Republicans who did nothing but block measures to improve the economy. They did so purely for partisan political reasons. Their goal has been all along to do everything to make the Democrats fail. Many of these Republicans are running on and are taking credit for measures that the Democrats passed and the Republicans opposed.
