Obama on GOP Record: ‘That’s Not True They Haven’t Done Nothing’

RUSH EXCERPT:

OBAMA: "Go look it up, go look it up. That's what happened when we had a Progressive agenda. We didn't get everything done that we wanted to do, we couldn't reverse all the trends that had been happening for 40 years in just eight years. We couldn't get all the manufacturing jobs that had left to come back right away. We couldn't. We couldn't immediately eliminate all the inequalities that have been building up over decades, and we sure couldn't do it once the Republicans took over Congress, because they blocked everything we tried to do. So they've now had two years of control of Washington. What have they done with that power? It's not true they haven't done anything. Let me tell you what they have done. They cut taxes for the rich and corporations to the tune of $1.5 trillion, just like they did the last time. They stripped rules to protect air and water, just like they did last time. They ran up the deficit, just like they did last time. And do you know what? They know that none of this stuff is actually popular, so their response, instead of changing their policies, is to try to actively purge voter rolls to keep people from voting. And they try to scare everybody else with whatever divisive social issues they can come up with, just like they did the last time.”
