Grand obstruction party?

Sun., May 2, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

It’s very clear the Republicans will do anything to stop the Obama administration from making the changes we need in the financial markets. They vote no to alter the status quo for what reason? More of the same? Because the legislation would provide regulation and oversight on derivatives?

It just shows how obstructionist they are and they really have sadly become the party of no. They talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.
