Minority Leader Pelosi is upset that Republicans will not offer a rebuttal to President Obama’s spending jobs plan tonight. Pelosi said the party’s “silence” would “speak volumes about their lack of commitment to creating jobs.”
She’s also worried that another 500 million Americans might lose their jobs this month.
FOX News reported:
Republicans have decided they’re not going to give a rebuttal to President Obama’s jobs speech later this week, a decision House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi took as a high affront to the White House.
At least three GOP lawmakers also have announced they’re not going to show up for the presidential address. House Speaker John Boehner’s office then confirmed Tuesday evening that nobody from the party would deliver an official televised response.
