The most prominent Republican in the Obama administration is accusing GOP House members of blocking efforts to resolve the nation's problems, partly because they don't want the president to be successful.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was asked at a transportation conference Friday why it was so difficult to get big infrastructure projects built right now.

He responded that "some people don't want Obama to be successful."

How stimulating.. and rich.. such comments from a turn'coat. Sore, sour, smug, stupid, what else can you call someone like this? To call him a REpublican is a joke.

No mention of the regulatory nightmare to even build anything since GREEN seized control thru the courts when it comes to almost anything that one would build... nor the fact we are sorely in debt at the hands of his boss.

Ray LaHood is an idiot and has proven so ever since he stepped into the national spotlight during Clinton’s impeachment circus.

Sometimes you don’t have to drink the cool-ade. The fumes alone are enough.

I would have to ask LaHood.....”When Democrats had the White House, the Senate and the House.....what did they do?” Nothing has a new meaning now doesn’t it?

LaHood is retiring. Now he can speak the truth....the gop establishment and the dems are one and the same.

The question was obviously a set-up and Ray LaHood gave his scripted, anti-Republican answer that ignores the reality that the ‘infrastructure’ that the ‘jobs bill’ is supposedly meant to help repair usually gets a pittance of the total while the rest goes to Democrat cronies and benefits mostly unions and Obama supporters. The usual Obama administration mendacity.

Ray “The HOOD” LaHood is an Illinois gangster. This is the conservative Republican that was picked by Obama for Transportation Sec. First suggested, tax drivers per mile on their cars. Illinois piece of poo!

Obama is in desperation mode. Obama admin is trying the Truman angle and incoherent protests. This was telegraphed a couple of weeks ago. No one is buying it.

Remember when you were a child and you were’nt sure if your folks would buy you a pony.
Eventually you would get up the nerve to ask and your folks would say something like, “what are you stupid..DON’T YOU KNOW money grows on trees!?!”
Sheesh.

Most of America doesn't want him to succeed you leftist toad. Go back to IL. The GOP doesn't want you and the Left is done using you as a useful idiot.

Sorry there LaHood, we sent these guys to the District of Corruption to STOP THE INSANE SPENDING and OTHER RAT MADNESS. The House has the purse and we expect them to keep it closed as long as ZERO is sitting in the WH.

Rats are so stupid. They dig themselves into a deep hole, they keep on digging despite collapsing voter approval, & criticize anyone (Pubs) who refuses to help with the digging.

Ray LaHood

Like all pathetic libs, Ray attempts to accuse the opposition of exactly what he (and his friends) is guilty of [i.e. Do-Nothing Senate].
