From the White House blog, President Obama in Kansas City
In two days, Congress leaves Washington for a month, and the President noted that there is still time to get things done. But rather than voting on bills that would provide resources to fight wildfires in the West, or prevent the Highway Trust Fund from running out of money, the President pointed out that Republicans in Congress are focused on one issue.
“The main vote that they’ve scheduled for today is whether or not they decide to sue me for doing my job.”
And they voted Thursday, 225 to 201, to do just that.
The president to Congress:
“Come on and help out a little bit. Stop being mad all the time. Stop just hating all the time…Let’s get some work done together.”
Mad, indeed.
