MINNEAPOLIS President Obama rebuked congressional Republicans on Friday for opposing his economic initiatives, saying they should be held accountable for not doing enough for the middle class.
Mr. Obama also criticized Republicans for considering legal action over his use of executive orders, arguing that they were allowing a politically motivated vendetta to block actions that could help working people, like raising the minimum wage and extending unemployment insurance.

More tax dollars to friends of friends running B.S. ‘green’ companies and other Demokrat ‘climate-change’ companies.
