Rand Paul: If Obama Wants To Work with Congress, He Should Return Our Calls

Paul: Obama Says He Wants to Work with Congress? Then He Should Return Our Calls (National Review Online)

President Obama is almost getting “kind of petulant” in his pleas for cooperation from Congress, but Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) says his own calls to the White House generally go unanswered.

Paul told Fox News that he called President Obama “several months ago” about an infrastructure-funding, tax-reform bill he worked on with Senator Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.), along the lines of the kind of bipartisan legislation the president said tonight he’d like to see passed by Congress. “I’ve called him on it — I get no response or I get, maybe, obstructionism,” he said.

“The real question is, is he going to work with us?” the senator said. “Really, I think the intransigence is on one side: his.”
