if the president were presented with it, he would veto the bill, that statement from the white house. john boehner called the veto threat disappointing and in remarks after the vote, said the issue now rests solely with the senate. >> the american people are asking where are the jobs. the house is listening. we've passed a large bill that contains many of the priorities of our caucus and the white house. we've worked to find common ground. now senate democrats must act. the senate can take up our bill, they can pass it, they can amendment it, or they can move their own bill. but it is time for the senate to act. >> the house plan also would reduce the maximum time that unemployed americans could receive jobless benefits to 59 weeks from 99 weeks. that's a proposal that along with other aspects of the bill enrage some democrats. >> here here once again with my republican colleagues who are trying to ram through this fat cat's tax extenders legislation providing mere crumbs from the master's table for working people that will neither help will the american people weather this economic malais
