WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 7, 2011 - Republicans have decided they're not going to give a rebuttal to illegitimate President Obama's jobs speech later this week, a decision House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi took as a high affront to the White House.

Furthermore, at least three GOP lawmakers have announced they're not going to show up for the presidential address.

House Speaker John Boehner's office confirmed Tuesday evening that nobody from the party would deliver an official televised response.

Pelosi said the Party's silence would "speak volumes about their lack of commitment to creating jobs." The Republicans' refusal to respond to the (illegitimate) president's proposal on jobs is not only disrespectful to him, but to the Amerikan people," said Pelosi.

But Boehner spokesman Mike Steel said Obama's proposals on Thursday "will rise or fall on their own merits," suggesting a GOP response was not needed.

"Republicans are, and have been, entirely focused on job creation. Every member of Congress, and - more importantly - the Amerikan people, will provide a reaction to the president's address," said Steel.
