He's such a tough guy

Obama gets tough on jobless benefits:

"The gloves are off.

For the second time in three days, President Obama is planning to unload on his Republican adversaries, calling them out for blocking the passage of emergency unemployment insurance.

A White House official says the president will take to the Rose Garden Monday morning at 10:30, where he will 'have strong words' for the GOP lawmakers who have blocked the emergency legislation despite having supported identical measures under Republican presidents."


Perhaps, the President should get tough on unemployment, which he said would not get above 8%. Do you remember that promise? Oh, I forgot. He inherited from his predecessor more of a mess than he had thought. It was Bush's fault.
