“Over the past six years, President Obama has been
stubborn, arrogant, and oppositional,” John Boehner, the Republican
Speaker of the House, said. “His refusal to work with people who are
suing him is just the latest example.”
Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky,
echoed the Speaker’s criticism, adding, “Time and time again, the
President has refused to pick up the phone and talk to me, despite my
saying that I was doing everything in my power to make him a one-term
President.”
Other members of the G.O.P. caucus blasted the
President for being aloof and frosty to Republicans who had questioned
his American citizenship, the authenticity of his birth certificate, and
the legitimacy of his Presidency. “That’s no way to get things done,”
Senator James Inhofe, of Oklahoma, said. “He’s got a real attitude.”
Boehner concluded his comments, however, with an olive
branch of sorts for Obama. “Mr. President, we Republicans are eager to
sit across the table from you and get to work for the American people,”
he said. “Otherwise, get ready to be impeached.”
