House GOP Leaders Call For Bipartisan Action In Letter To Obama

[DonViejo]

DYLAN SCOTT – JANUARY 30, 2014, 10:16 AM EST

House Republican leadership said they've identified four areas where they believe they can work with President Barack Obama based on principles he laid out in his State of the Union address this week.

The four areas are: skills training, natural gas, workplace rules and federally-funded research. The Republican leadership points to bills in each area that the House has passed, but either the Senate has not taken up the legislation or the White House has threatened to veto it.

The full letter is below.

Skills training ... stop.

3. Except for the natural gas comment (which I would correct

with "frack, baby, FRACK", you are spot ON.

2. Republicans are whining that the workpace of the Senate is too slow?

Really???

4. Mmmmmnope.

"Bipartisan" in House GOP-ese means "do it our way or we'll hold our breath until we turn blue".

5. The letter is all bullshit.
