From the Louisville Courier-Journal:
WASHINGTON — Gearing up for negotiations with Congress over his proposed budget, President Barack Obama chided Republican lawmakers yesterday for opposing his initiatives without offering alternatives.
“I do think that the Republican Party right now hasn’t sort of figured out what it’s for,” Obama said in a White House interview with The Courier-Journal and reporters from five other newspapers. “And so, as a proxy, they’ve just decided ‘we’re going to be against whatever the other side is for.’ That’s not what’s needed in an economic crisis.”
He added that “you could play that game maybe in the early ’90s, when basically we were pretty prosperous. Right now, everybody’s got to pull together.”
