| Description | WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions of Dallas, a member of the House Republican leadership, is accusing President Barack Obama of intentionally driving up unemployment and dampening stock prices in a bid to consolidate power.
Sessions told The New York Times that the administration intends to “diminish employment and diminish stock prices” as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy.
And he asserted that the Obama agenda is “intended to inflict damage and hardship on the free enterprise system, if not to kill it.”
White House aides declined to comment.
Other Democrats denounced Sessions for accusing the president of economic sabotage. Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, called his counterpart’s views a “bizarre conspiracy theory.” |
