\"obama_hcr_speech\"<\/a> President Barack Obama is ripping into his Republican opponents, accusing them of refusing to help rebuild America after having "created the mess" and driving the economy "into the ditch."<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama told a Democratic fundraising event in New York late Thursday that despite one of the busiest and most accomplished legislative sessions in recent memory, he witnessed "our friends on the other side of the aisle fall all over themselves to argue otherwise."<\/p>\n

"You would have thought at a time of historic crisis that Republican leaders would have been more willing to help us find a way out of this mess — particularly since they created the mess<\/strong>," Obama said.<\/p>\n

"We all have a stake in cleaning it up. We’re not Democrats or Republicans first — we’re Americans first."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The president met with Democratic supporters after traveling to the industrial city of Buffalo, New York to assure Americans that the US economy was "heading in the right direction" after official data showed new claims for unemployment benefits fell for the fourth week in a row\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
