Bobbi Kristina's problems 'out of control'
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell isn't backing off his comment that the Republicans' top political priority is to hold President Obama to one term.
In a speech at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, McConnell said preventing Obama's re-election is the only way to get past presidential vetoes.
Republicans took the U.S. House Tuesday but Democrats held on to the Senate, 53 to 47. Still, McConnell sounded like someone holding the high cards, NPR said.
"If the administration wants cooperation, it will have to begin to move in our direction," McConnell said, and Democrats will have to get rid of their "big-government policies and out-of-control spending," Fox News reported.
McConnell also predicted more Democrats, shaken by Tuesday's vote, will start voting with Republicans. "We have major opportunities for bipartisan coalitions," he said.
McConnell has said nuclear power, clean coal technology, plug-in hybrid cars and reducing carbon emissions are "areas of potential cooperation" with Obama, Fox reported.
