Harry Reid, on the Senate floor today speaking about GOP opposition to the the Paycheck Fairness Act (transcript per his office):

Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, on CBS yesterday, discussing the bad May jobs numbers and Republican obstruction of Obama’s job creation policies:

“Instead of high-fiving each other on days when there is bad news, they should stop sitting on their hands and work on some of these answers.”
