White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters during his daily briefing Monday that he’s tried to shine a light on Republican obstruction and hypocrisy.
Veteran scribe Helen Thomas asked Gibbs why he doesn’t “shame” Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) for holding up unemployment benefits.
“I’m trying as best I can,” Gibbs responded. He said one senator has decided to “gum up the works.”
He also blasted GOP amnesia on using reconciliation for major legislation from tax cuts, children’s health care and welfare reform.
