Hell no you can’t!?
You need to know this. “Hell no you can’t!” In a speech yesterday – Speaker of the House John Boehner slammed President Obama’s “American Jobs Act” – calling it a “poor substitute” for actual job creation policies.
But a week ago – when President Obama unveiled his plan – Speaker Boehner seemed open to negotiating on it. So it looks like Eric Cantor and the rest of the Tea Party Republicans who’d rather see the economy crash than Obama succeed – once again stuck the shiv in Boehner and told him, “no deal,” just like they did in the debt-limit debate. Instead of the “American Jobs Act” – Boehner put forward more of the same Republican proposals to create jobs – more tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and transnational corporations – the so-called “job creators” as pollster Frank Luntz calls them – and more deregulation to that the Republican Party’s corporate overlords can keep making profits off poisoning the air we breath and contaminating the water we drink.
But this is great news for the President – because now he can put his Harry Truman hat on – and run against the Republicans in 2012 – as the Party that’s against job creation in America.

Full Show - 9/15/11. Arab Spring Becomes Arab Fall...Is Democracy in Reach?
Lucy Kafanov fills in for Thom Hartmann on this episode of the "Big Picture" In the first half hour, she discusses the latest developments in Libya. Was the high-profile visit to Libya by Western heads of state the equivalent of NATO's "mission accomplished" moment? Lucy also sounds off against the post 9/11 wave of Islamophobia, culminating with the latest reports of the FBI teaching its agents that the constitutionally protected religious faith of millions of Americans is now an indicator of violence. Then, it's the anniversary of the Lehman collapse. But has anything truly changed for the better, three years after that fateful day? Later, Lucy examines the obstacles surrounding Palestine's statehood bid as it takes the fight to the United Nations. And what will that looming diplomatic showdown mean for the United States?
