Obama: GOP Blocking Unemployed, Small Business Aid

I’m glad the President is finally starting to call out the Republicans for their stalling tactics.  They are cynically trying to delay the economic recovery in hopes a slow economy will help them in the fall elections.  I just hope people remember they are the ones who got us into this mess…

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says Senate Republicans are playing politics with bills that would extend benefits to the unemployed and increase lending to small businesses.

Striking a deeply partisan tone in his weekly radio and online address, Obama said the GOP leadership has chosen to “filibuster our recovery and obstruct our progress” by blocking votes on agenda items the president says would breath life into the economic recovery.

“These steps aren’t just the right thing to do for those hardest hit by the recession,” Obama said. “They’re the right thing to do for all of us.”
