Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) has some advice for President Obama: Stop whining about Bush!
In an interview on NPR today, Kyl exhorted the president for passing the buck to his predecessor in yesterday’s State of the Union address. “I would have thought by now he would have stopped blaming the Bush administration for the mess that he inherited,” Kyle said, “and I don’t think the American people want a whiner who says,’woe is me.'”When asked if the president’s remarks helped patch the yawning partisan divide that has paralyzed the Congress for much of the past year, Kyl was incredulous. “If he had an intention to reach out to Republicans, I can tell you [the speech] did not achieve the objective.”
