To the Editor:
Like or dislike the president, one thing is sure — since well before the primaries, the unremitting, repetitive litany of negative comments about his reputed lack of accomplishment ignores a major reason for what they’re complaining about — the refusal of the Republican bloc in Congress to work for solutions.
When the current session of Congress opened, their House Majority Leader stated the GOP’s legislative focus: do everything in their power to stand in the way of what he was trying to accomplish.
