Americans have entrusted Republicans with control of both the House and Senate. We are humbled by this opportunity to help struggling middle-class Americans who are clearly frustrated by an increasing lack of opportunity, the stagnation of wages, and a government that seems incapable of performing even basic tasks.
Looking ahead to the next Congress, we will honor the voters’ trust by focusing, first, on jobs and the economy. Among other things, that means a renewed effort to debate and vote on the many bills that passed the Republican-led House in recent years with bipartisan support, but were never even brought to a vote by the Democratic Senate majority. It also means renewing our commitment to repeal ObamaCare, which is hurting the job market along with Americans’ health care.
For years, the House did its job and produced a steady stream of bills that would remove barriers to job creation and lower energy costs for families. Many passed with bipartisan support—only to gather dust in a Democratic-controlled Senate that kept them from ever reaching the president’s desk. Senate Republicans also offered legislation that was denied consideration despite bipartisan support and benefits for American families and jobs.
These bills provide an obvious and potentially bipartisan starting point for the new Congress—and, for President Obama , a chance to begin the final years of his presidency by taking some steps toward a stronger economy.
These bills include measures authorizing the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which will mean lower energy costs for families and more jobs for American workers; the Hire More Heroes Act, legislation encouraging employers to hire more of our nation’s veterans; and a proposal to restore the traditional 40-hour definition of full-time employment, removing an arbitrary and destructive government barrier to more hours and better pay...

Reform the tax code, redefine ‘full time’ as working 40 hours a week, move on the Keystone XL pipeline—there are plenty of tasks ahead.
Gridlock is good.

Bur, seriously, who wants to read their pablum? I want go for the jugular, red meat war to the death with the commie bastards destroying the US.
These two boobs couldn’t find their way out of a wet paper bag. Useless enablers.
Fool me once...
Boehner and McConnell need to be sent to the pasture.
Others need to actually lead.
(I voted for the repubes. I just think THEIR tails need to be kicked now.)
Keystone can be done very quickly. That needs to be on his lordship’s desk by the end of next week.
These two apparently think they are going to the playground, and going to play ball with someone named Obama that wants to play ball.
That is precisely why we have to get both of these clowns the ‘H’ out of leadership. They haven’t learned this guy Obama will only play by his rules, and only his rules.
We need to make it a priority to let it be known we want change in leadership. We want butt kickin’ conservatives to take the leadership, and kick butt. Nothing less.
It’s NOT a game.
None of which the American people know about because you FAILED to inform them in an effective manner.....
The new Senate is not installed until 2015.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. haha

Unfortunately, it just gives them more time to think of new ways to cave.
