Joe Scarborough: “I have to tell you, it has been very discouraging to see for the past four years Republicans sitting on the floor…”

“I have to tell you, it has been very discouraging to see for the past four years Republicans sitting on the floor, talking on the floor and balancing the budget, cutting taxes, saving over a trillion dollars for Social Security. And from the first day that we got here, all I have seen is venomous attacks. I remember the first day we got here, it was the Speaker's book deal, that this was somehow a horrible affront to western civilization. Then they dredged up that story about the Nazi historian and it went down hill from there. Now I am told that I do not care about my children's public education. I care very much about my children's public education, just as I care as deeply about the education of children who are south of the Anacostia River, who will not be getting to go to the schools that the President and the Vice President's children were able to go to when they were here, because the President vetoed a bill that would have given children south of the Anacostia River the same opportunity that his children had. Now, listen, this is a tough business. I certainly am not saying that the President and the Vice President's children should not have had that opportunity, but I am saying, why do you not give the children in Anacostia and inner city Washington, D.C. the same opportunity that your children and our children have? It only seems fair.”
