Pick up a mop!

When people criticize President Obama and the Democrats for not working "in a bi-partisan manner," they're either not paying attention or they are being willfully ignorant of the Republican Obstruction Plan. That's why President Obama's recent remarks are important, even if they were just at a fundraiser.

More of this, please (emphasis below is mine):

"We're not Democrats or Republicans first -- we're Americans first... [W]e got our mops and our brooms out, we're cleaning stuff out, and they're sitting there saying, 'Hold the broom better.' 'That's not how you mop.' Don't tell me how to mop. Pick up a mop! Do some work on behalf of the American people to solve some of these problems.

But that wasn't their strategy... This is public record. They've said in interviews: 'We made a political decision. We stood nothing to gain from cooperating. We knew things were going to be bad. And we figured, if we didn't do anything and if it didn't work out so well, maybe the other side would take the blame.'

They've done their best to gum up the works; to make things look broken; to say no to every single thing. That was the attitude they had when it came to pulling our economy out of a crisis. That was the attitude they had when it came to making sure that families and businesses finally got the security of health care in this country. That's been the attitude on any number of challenges that we faced. Their basic attitude has been: 'If the Democrats lose, we win.'

So after they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. No! You can't drive! We don't want to have to go back into the ditch! We just got the car out! We just got the car out!"

It's nice when adults are in charge, isn't it?
