So predictable.

(TheDC) — Vice President Joe Biden has been steadfast in his claim that if the president’s American Jobs Act does not pass, “rape will continue to rise.” Some have questioned Biden for invoking rape to push legislation, but the National Organization for Women is not among them.

After one version of Obama’s jobs bill failed to overcome a Senate filibuster last week, the administration has been working to paint Republicans as the ones to blame, and Biden has done so forcefully. . . .

According to NOW president Terry O’Neill, Biden’s rape concern is well-founded.

“I think he is concretely worried that with fewer police on the beat crime will go up,” O’Neill told The Daily Caller. “I think he is imagining the lives of real people. That is not a device — that is an actual ability to know what everyday people go through.”

O’Neill said the administration’s job creation initiative is essential to everyday Americans — and that obstructionists in Congress are being careless with other people’s lives.

“The people that are blocking jobs legislation really don’t care, and don’t have an idea of what its like,” O’Neill said. “They don’t have an idea what it’s like to have your child in a classroom of 45 kids and one teacher — and that is what we are looking at if these kinds of jobs are not restored.
