They hate him so much that they even get mad when he encourages businesses to invest in America:
[House Majority Leader Eric] Cantor told reporters Tuesday that if given the opportunity, he will explain to the president that businesses do not have a “responsibility” to the nation or to the government in the way Obama explained in his speech to the Chamber of Commerce earlier this week.
...
“That’s not how it works,” Cantor said. “Because Washington says so — that business or anyone should respond as far as spending money — it’s just anathema to the way I think America works…Washington doesn’t just wave a magic wand and necessarily, business creates jobs.”
Cantor must have been watching an imaginary speech in his mind, because what President Obama actually said was that when businesses support the middle class, everybody gains. He encouraged them to invest in America instead of shipping jobs overseas. In Obama's own words:
If we as a nation are going to invest in innovation, that innovation should lead to new jobs and manufacturing on our shores. The end result of tax breaks and investments can’t simply be that new breakthroughs and technologies are discovered here in America, but then the manufacturing takes place overseas.
What Obama said is indisputably correct. The fact that Eric Cantor disagrees is yet another illustration of just how completely the GOP has lost its shit.
Update: Plubius, in the comments:
Ha! The party of small govt just became the party of no jobs.
