84 percent of Americans believe Congress is not doing enough to tackle the nation's jobs problem. So what are they doing? There are suspicions, stalling, bull, and the new jobs bill being pulled. Reid pulls his support from the new jobs bill because of a conversation Reid had with McConnell, minority leader. The conversation consisted of McConnell saying he would not agree to bring the bipartisan jobs bill to the floor quickly and Reid became concerned the Republican leader would drag out the process and the bill would ultimately fail. Reid feels that the republicans put a few supporting the bill, butt all the others will drag out the bill and cause it to fail, a bit like the health care bill. It is apparent McConnell and Reid had very different timetables for the jobs bill. Reid wanted it passed before the Senate went on break last week. McConnell told CNN last week he thought it would "take a few weeks" and "we're not quite ready to go forward." Why delay when 84 percent think congress is sucking.
