   February 10, 2011: “We’re going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs.” – John Boehner.

   The following is a list of accomplishments of the GOP, in chronological order as of 2-10-2011. So far none have resulted in one new job being created in America.

   (1) Attempted curtailing of abortion rights.
   (2) Attempted defunding of Planned Parenthood.
   (3) Attempted defunding of NPR.
   (4) Investigating Muslims.
   (5) Declaring English as America’s Official Language.
   (6) Reaffirming “In God We Trust”. Yawn.
   (7) Challenging AARP’s tax-exempt status.
   (8) Approved defunct funding for failed religious schools.
   (9) Attempt to destroy Medicaid.
   (10) Attempt to destroy Planned Parenthood
   (11) Shutting down the government
   (12) Attempt to destroy the EPA.
   (13) Attempting to eliminate financial counseling.
   (14) Passed a House budget that gives $4 trillion in tax cuts to the rich.
   (15) Spend $500,000 to discriminate against gays.
   (16) Continued toadying for the rich.
   (17) Pretending the deficit is to blame for slow job growth.
   (18) De-funded SETI. (ARGH!!!!!!!)
   (19) Tried to kill Chrysler two years ago… which is now going to pay back all its government loans.
   (20) The Judicial Branch of the GOP, the Supreme Court, votes 5-4 to deny consumer class-action suits.
   (21) Redefining rape. Yes, redefining rape.
   (22) Pushing for spending caps tied to GDP. Bad idea.
   (23) Claimed credit for dropping oil prices because they passed a bill.
   (24) Refuse to reduce oil subsidies.
   (25) Stood helplessly and watched as Senator John Ensign made Bill Clinton look like a Carmelite nun.
   (26) Attempt to retool Rep. Paul Ryan’s Medicare-killing bill.
   (27) Prevented the raising of the federal debt limit. Let the catastrophic job loss begin.
   (28) Watches Rome burn with their Wall Street pals.
   (29) Filibustered bill to repeal oil subsidies.
   (30) Rejected Goodwin Liu for judge simply because Mr. Obama nominated him.
   (31) Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. As in “restrictions”.
   (32) Spent five hours debating NPR, five minutes debating Afghanistan.
   (33) GOP releases their jobs plan. Hilarity ensues.
   (34) Continue to hold the debt limit hostage in order to make more money for billionaires.
   (35) Brought to the House floor a bill specifically blaming President Obama’s 2012 budget for raising the statutory debt limit by $2.4 trillion dollars, a budget the Republican-led Congress earlier passed.

   Nope. No job creation here. Seriously.

   Cutting and destroying programs is easy…
   Creating new jobs and secutity means they have to think and plan.

   Certainly, both parties would hate to imagine what his image would look like, they’re both thoughtless beneath their thoughts.

    Um Radish, almost all of those fall into the D going to a group and asking “what can I do for you with tax payer money”
    The R are just asking do we really need that? Can you not do it yourself? They also go to the leaders and the doers and ask “how can I help you” The R respond that they do not need other money they can grow it themselves thank you very much. And that is how you create jobs. The fact that R is silent means they are doing their job! They are not going to “save or create” a job with someone else tax money!

    If some of you anal sphincters would actually read some investigative reports, you would find quite a few programs this administration has done for the American people. They are not widely reported.
    This time I am not going to list them because those who are against anything from the middle to left would ignore it anyway.
    Plus I like reading some of the comments.

    There are plenty of jobs being created, only they are all overseas. Don’t blame the President, blame the greed of the CEOs. Unemployment started years ago.
