Less than a week after being elected majority leader of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is blaming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) for all of Washington's dysfunction.
Asked on "Fox News Sunday" whether he would be willing to work with President Barack Obama as majority leader, McCarthy said he could work with just about anyone--except Reid. "I believe you can work with anybody. The challenge has been Harry Reid," McCarthy said. "There's more than 240 bills that have passed the House that haven't even been brought up inside the Senate. If you want to know the problem, the frustration with Washington, [it's] the Senate. The Senate has not moved anything, they never send something to the president's desk, so how do you even negotiate with the president if he doesn't have the bill on his desk?"

OP NOTE : I feel there will be an immediate aura of re-dedication to cooperation between the two parties. A bright future for us all!
