Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley at the White House Thursday called on a “do-nothing” Congress to pass President Obama’s stalled jobs bill.
“Do it as soon as possible,” said the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association. “People in our states need jobs.”
Along with Minnesota Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and Washington Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire, O’Malley met with Obama at the White House Thursday to discuss a jobs bill blocked by the Democratic-controlled Senate earlier this week.
At an earlier press conference Thursday, Obama vowed to submit individual pieces of the bill to Congress, forcing them to vote on ideas that he says have the backing of the general public.
O’Malley did not reveal which component he would like to go before Congress first.
