Given the role the White House and Senate Republicans have played in slowing legislation, Manley said, “it takes a lot of chutzpah” for Fratto to accuse the Democrats of inaction.

It's more than chutzpah...it's insanity and lies--both are so cosmically incompetent and the posturing is disgusting!

“They've been in session for a long time, and some very critical pieces of legislation got put off for yet another recess,” Fratto said. “And now this last session is getting pretty close to the August recess. So the Senate is running out of time to get work done.” </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0708/White_House_accuses_Senate_Democrats_of_slacking_off.html"><DIV>
Democrats were livid at the charge. Jim Manley, the spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), said Fratto was guilty of “Orwellian doublespeak trending toward flat-out delusional.” </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0708/White_House_accuses_Senate_Democrats_of_slacking_off.html"><DIV>
In a press briefing aboard Air Force One, Fratto pointed to unfinished business on a housing bill, an update to the nation’s electronic surveillance laws, a Medicare bill and a long-stalled free trade agreement with Colombia as examples of bills the Senate could have completed before adjourning for the Fourth of July recess. </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/90EA0459-771F-4BBC-9696-127900CEB4B1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
