WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has attempted to lower expectations in recent days by saying that Republicans can't really accomplish anything unless President Obama is voted out of office in 2012. Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) set the stage on Sunday by declaring that any lack of progress in Congress including a possible government shutdown will be Obama's fault.
I would say, Chris, it's as much as his responsibility," said Cantor in response to a question from Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace about who will be to blame for a government shutdown or a default on the debt. "In fact, he is the one who sets the agenda as the chief executive and as the president of this country.
Cantor also made clear that if there's going to be any compromise, it's going to have to come from Obama, who has said he is willing to work with Republicans. Cantor, however, said that Republicans will work with Obama only if he agrees with them 100 percent.
Here we go again: my way or the highway Republicans. The Founders would not be impressed. The Dems hold the Senate and the presidency, yet the GOP thinks it should be in charge. This is called grid lock.
Did the electorate elect new Representatives to sit on their asses?
