Obama Assails G.O.P. for Blocking Benefits Bill

The NY Times says Obama Assails G.O.P. for Blocking Benefits Bill "‘After years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit, the same people who didn’t have any problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are now saying we shouldn’t offer relief to middle-class Americans like Jim or Leslie or Denise, who really need help,’ Mr. Obama said, referring to the three people who stood with him in the Rose Garden, brought to Washington by the White House to help illustrate the president’s point."

Well, it's a start.
