Why no universal anger at the GOP refusing to pass the jobs bill?

It is like 'tough shit' is what the Bush White House wanted Americans to feel about the Katrina victims who didn't evacuate. But Americans reacted with outright anger at that callousness. But now, with the jobless, the GOP has its anti-empathy moment. That connection with the poor, born out of the depression era in the 1930s, has been undone. Which is what the gop has wanted for two generations. They have played Americans off of each other and won. Americans are worried about their own jobs, not the joblessness of the currently unemployed or poor. That is why we don't have more people at Occupy Wall Street.

blocked by Democrats in his own Party---not Republicans.
