Two days after the release of an unusually strong jobs report, prominent Republicans appeared on the Sunday morning talk shows to question President Obamas suspicious motives for repairing the economy. When there have been so many months of job growth, it does make you wonder what hes up to, said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). You add in the rising stock market and falling gas prices, and the whole thing doesnt pass the smell test. Appearing on Fox News, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell accused the President of cynically fixing the economy to distract the American people. This country faces serious problems, and I dont think they can be swept under the rug by creating prosperity, he said. But the sternest rebuke came from House Speaker John Boehner, who warned, If President Obama doesnt stop fixing the economy, Congress has ways to make him stop. If the President thinks he can fool the American people by putting them back to work and raising their wages, hes headed for a rude awakening, he said.
