Senators Reid & McConnell Remarks on President's Jobs Plan

Washington, DC
Tuesday, October 4, 2011

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made remarks on the Senate floor about President Obama's jobs plan. 

Senator McConnell attempted to put the president's jobs plan to a vote by offering it as an amendment to a bill dealing with China's currency.  Senator Reid used a procedural maneuver to block it, calling the amendment "senseless."
