LaHood: GOP Doesn't Care About Jobs Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the lone Republican in Obama’s Cabinet, says his party wants to do nothing in Washington, and is more committed to defeating the president than creating jobs. (some tasty quotes) “I’ve been in Washington 35 years… and I’ve never seen a time when people have put their own personal political feelings over how we can get the economy moving,” “The crowd that was elected the last time not only came here to do nothing, they also came to put down the president,” he says. “And the way to put him down is not to give him any kind of opportunity to be successful.” “Republicans made a decision right after the election—don’t give Obama any victories. The heck with putting people to work, because we can score points,” It's a damning article; too bad members of his own party refuse to see the truth.
No insight on the issue, but a grown damn man probably should care more about his job than his political party.
