Republicans admit to obstruction for last 5 years. [View all]

After 5 years of blocking everything this President and the Democrats proposed to get us out of the worst recession in our lifetimes, the Republicans now admit that they can no longer just obstruct but must offer "alternatives". Say what!

It must be an election year? After refusing to vote for the stimulus needed to help our government recover, after refusing to vote for extension of unemployment benefits for long-term unemployed, after shutting down our government, they now say that they are ready to offer "alternatives" to Obama and the Democrats.

If you are an American and you are not cynical after these comments from John Boehner and the Republican establishment, then perhaps you need to check your pulse? This is one of the most cruel and manipulative statements I have ever heard in my lifetime. You would think they might be embarrassed with such comments?

But there is no shame in the Republican Party.
