| Description | The White House on Tuesday blasted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for what it said was a political stunt on President Obama’s jobs bill.
McConnell had sought to highlight Democratic opposition to the legislation calling it up for a vote as an amendment to a measure the Senate is debating that hits China for currency manipulation.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) blocked the action, giving Republicans a chance to blame Democrats for holding up a vote on the jobs bill. They also accused Obama of being disingenuous in portraying Republicans as obstructionist. |
