Republicans take a break from their victory kegger to piss on the climate deal

Republicans Slam China Climate Deal As They Welcome Their Senate Majority



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/12/obama-china-congress_n_6145904.html

WASHINGTON -- The only climate change Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was interested in Wednesday was the one coming to the U.S. Senate, as he greeted a new crop of GOP senators-elect on Capitol Hill.

As for President Barack Obama's announcement on Wednesday of a climate agreement with China, McConnell was far less impressed, and slammed the White House for ignoring the desires of the GOP.

The likely Senate majority leader's warm welcome of new Republican lawmakers, coupled with his harsh assessment of Obama, was the latest sign suggesting that the relationship between Congress and the White House will be even more contentious over the next two years.

McConnell, however, cast it differently.

"the will of the American people". that Obama will be quick to shoot back, "and so was my being elected twice, but you never cooperated with me from day one, so you can just go take a flying leap"
