President Obama addressed the media Friday to renew his push for his jobs bill. His remarks came largely in light of the fact that, amid private-sector job growth, states and municipalities are still laying off government workers, dampening the overall economy.

But in making his case, Obama gave a subtle nod to a crucial but little-discussed consequence of the ideological differences between the parties: The fight Republicans and Democrats have waged over the broader role of government for the past year and a half has led Congress to ignore the unemployment crisis facing the country right now. He urged elected officials to keep the two issues separate.

“Now, if Congress decides despite all that they aren’t going to do anything about [the jobs bill] simply because it’s an election year, then they should explain to the American people why,” Obama said. “There’s going to be plenty of time to debate our respective plans for the future. That’s a debate I’m eager to have, but right now people in this town should be focused on doing everything we can to keep our recovery going and keeping our country strong.”

He said "the private sector is doing fine."

And our sappy media dutifully reports it as if it's news...

2. I love dogs.

Republicans, not so much. When my dogs bark, it's for a real reason. Republicans, not so much.
