Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said in a statement Tuesday that President Obama’s speech on the sequester suggests that the president prefers campaigning to finding a solution.
“Today’s event at the White House proves once again that more than three months after the November election, President Obama still prefers campaign events to common sense, bipartisan action. Surely the President won’t cut funds to first responders when just last year Washington handed out an estimated $115 billion in payments to individuals who weren’t even eligible to receive them, or at a time when 11 different government agencies are funding 90 different green energy programs. That would be a terrible and entirely unnecessary choice by a President who claims to want bipartisan reform.”
