You are right, sstone. They HAVE been waiting since obama took office. They know he is NOT a friend to business and certainly not big corporations........these are the people who create jobs in the private sector. Small business does the same thing.
They worried about his healthcare bill and what their cost would be, they don't want to be taxed to infinity and neither do the wealthy. The wealthy already pay the bulk of the taxes.
You want jobs from the private sector, get obama out of office and forget about raising taqxes on the wealthy.
We should all be thankful thAt Exxon is building their office here.

That is going on with Congress, as well....they are just not allowing anything to be put forward until they can defeat Obama. They don't come up with any bills that will do the job as that would make Obama look good. This is not rocket science. I have never seen this degree of partisanship in my lifetime of presidents.
Whose going to foot the cost for all this?
As far as the partisanship he said he was going to do away with party lines, but yet he has divided the parties even further.

You don't think the current unemployment (over14% overall) is worth discussing? We, as human beings, should not be concerned with what our fellow human beings are going through?

TxDeb, he has repeatedly tried to get the Republicans involved and they have, in lock step, voted against everything that he proposed, even if it was their idea. And, you say he is a divider?

When he blames the Republicans for everything that doesn't pass, and yes I have heard him do this on national TV that just makes the divide bigger. Maybe there are things in the bills the Republicans don't like, maybe he needs to approach it without the "Republicans are out to get us" attitude and yes he does have the attitude.

It's not exactly a stretch to conclude that is exactly what is happening though.
For example - you have Republicans voting against bills they personally co-sponsored (and at least one Republican has acknowledged this seemed to be for the sole reason of 'sticking it to the President').
Based on a casual observation of the 'work' being done in Washington at the moment, I don't think the divide can get any bigger...
Unlike Clinton, who the Republicans were also "out to get", Obama hasn't learned how to play in Washington.
So instead of learning how to play the game, also known as showing leadership, he plays the class warfare card or blames everyone and anything he can think of.
He is running out of excuses. Anyone else who does a lousy a job, gets fired. He has squandered enough of our Tax money.

I could agree with you if it was not every single thing he and the democrats have tried to pass.
