Hoot, you left out a very important part of the story you quoted. Let me add it for you. No matter what junk I quote, I always provide a link.

“I agree with the president, I think he’s entitled to a vote on his jobs bill,” the Republican leader said on the Senate floor as he tried to force an immediate vote on the American Jobs Act by attaching it to unrelated legislation.

For his part, Reid has his own political card to play as the pressure mounts in the job fight. In responding to McConnell’s call for an immediate vote, he instead offered to move to debate on the bill immediately. Such a move would require Republicans to agree not to filibuster the legislation. This time McConnell demurred.
