The top Republican in the House said Americans should judge them not on how many laws they pass, but on how many they repeal. You got a quote or source for that, Champ, or are you prevaricating again?
The top Republican in the Senate said his top priority wasn't to create jobs or expand opportunity, but to beat me. Perhaps he did, but in what context, eh?
I want to work with Congress wherever I can to do the job the American people sent us here to do -- but it turns out Republicans and Democrats have some very different ideas about what that means. Indeed they do! The problem is, you think most of the American people sent you there to do what YOU want to do.
Let me level with you: The only way we're going to achieve our goals is by electing more Democrats in 2014. Level with me? How about this - you guys peaked in 2008 and all you could do was ram through a bill that everyone hates. You blew it, bud!
Add your name to help elect Democrats to a Congress we can all be proud of:

Two years ago, before she took the Fifth Amendment guarantee against self-incrimination, Ms. Lerner was positively chatty in informal briefings with the committee staff.
She said emphatically that the IRS had not changed the criteria used to evaluate which organizations qualify for tax-exempt status. Tea Party groups had complained that their applications were being held in limbo while left-wing groups' applications sailed through easily.
The committee says that was Lie No. 1, citing the Treasury Department inspector general's documentation that Ms. Lerner ordered a change in criteria in June 2011.
When Tea Party groups angrily complained about IRS requests for information about their members, Ms. Lerner told investigators that it was "ordinary" for the IRS to ask such groups to provide a full list of the names of donors and how much they gave.
She put the assertion in writing in a letter to the committee. These were identified as Lie No. 2 and Lie No. 3. The IRS commissioner's chief of staff said this had never been done in the history of the agency. Strike Three, You're Out-a-here!
Ms. Lerner likely expected that "this, too, shall pass." Democrats repeatedly said that "there's no scandal here." Only a handful of reporters bothered to pursue the story.

What dilemma? It was the warning of the Founders. Centralized powerful government believes you exit to serve it and its plans, not it to serve the people.
Their press is doing its job. Again we're confusing the 'press' with the means of communication long since OBE with wire and wireless. The institution hasn't been ours since the long march took over academia.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
