GOP pushes Obama on industry regulations
Washington (CNN)- House Republicans tried to seize the political upper hand in the job-creation debate Monday, urging President Barack Obama to support GOP-sponsored legislation designed to ease industry burdens imposed by environmental regulations, among other things.
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, sent a letter to the president noting that the Republican-controlled House is scheduled to consider two bills - an "EPA Regulatory Relief Act" requiring authorities to reissue certain rules in a "less burdensome manner," and a "Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act" requiring regulators to reconsider rules affecting an industry critical to new construction.
"The federal government has a responsibility under the Constitution to regulate interstate commerce, and there are reasonable regulations that protect our children and help keep our environment clean," Boehner said in the letter.

LOL, I agree that Obama did not think it would be a slam dunk. I have wondered what is the hold up in getting some of that stuff initiated already. It seems to be a lot of stall tactics and I saw where Obama wants the jobs bill voted on this month. Interesting. While we are crying for de regulation, lets remember all the e coli and other tainted food outbreaks, seems we need more bodies and more regulation and not less in those areas.
The jobs bill shouldn't be about give and take. It's a step towards getting the economy back on the right track. They need to just accept that it is a good bill and it will help...I see no reason for "we'll give you this, if you give us that"..
Huh... can't say T - I - T on here.
We'll give you THIS, if you give us THAT...
Give a little, get a little. Give a lot, get a lot.
I have to say, I agree with what the GOP is doing (no surprise there to most of you;-)... sort of a ***-for-tat type of thing.
B.O. can't have expected the GOP to just pile on and say "YES, YES, YES!" He must have known they'd ask for something in return (as they always do).
