Obama challenges GOP over jobs bill on the streets and firefighters back on the job,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. “And if they vote ‘no’ on that, they’ll have to tell you why,” he said. “They’ll have to tell you why teachers in your community don’t deserve a paycheck again.

Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. “The president needs to come off the campaign trail and get to work.” And according to McCarthy it’s Obama — not the GOP — playing partisan games. “Americans deserve progress, not partisanship,” McCarthy said.
