Political Quotes

“It was reported today that President Obama is trying out a new slogan on his campaign-style road trip. The new slogan is: ``We can't wait.'' In my opinion, this slogan is an odd choice, especially coming from the President and his party. Right now, 15 different House-passed jobs bills, each reducing the red tape that is hindering small business and each removing obstacles to domestic energy production, are stuck in the Senate, awaiting action from the Democratic leadership. Mr. Speaker, the President is right--we can't wait. We can't wait for the President and the Democrats to join us in eliminating excessive government regulations, stopping Washington from spending money it doesn't have, and fixing the Tax Code for families and job creators. We can't wait for the Obama administration to end the continual delays to job-creating domestic energy production. We can't wait for Senate Democrats to approve more than a dozen House-passed jobs bills. Americans who want to get back to work shouldn't have to wait any longer for Washington to get out of the way. It's time for President Obama and Senate Democrats to put aside politics and work with the House on these commonsense ideas. We simply can't wait. ____________________”
