Obama Slams GOP for Obstructing Economic Progress

President Obama came out swinging in his weekly address on Saturday, claiming that his administration has been pushing to help small businesses grow and strengthen the economy and blaming Republican leaders for thwarting his efforts: “ ... Too often the Republican leadership in the United States Senate chooses to filibuster our recovery and obstruct our progress,” Obama charged, “and that has very real consequences.” It probably won’t be long before he hears back from the GOP about this one.  —KA
