CBS Political HotSheet:
The Senate's top Republican said Tuesday that he did not see a way for Republicans and Democrats to come to agreement on meaningful deficit reduction as long as President Obama remains in office.
"After years of discussions and months of negotiations, I have little question that as long as this president is in the Oval Office, a real solution is probably unattainable," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in remarks on the Senate floor......
Mitch McConnell's 2010 financial disclosure, as seen as a pdf at OpenSecrets, shows that he has over nine pages describing his investments. Politico puts McConnell's net worth at ".....minimum net worth is $9.9 million....." (Cry me a river!) How many of the rest of us Americans have anything remotely close to his wealth? Why is he such a pompous fool? What is the root of McConnell's rhetoric? Is it racism?
