Pres. Obama Says GOP Pledge To America Has “Irresponsible Policies”
NBCU’s Education Nation week kicked off with a half-hour interview of Pres. Barack Obama by Today show’s Matt Lauer, roadblocked across NBC and all its cable platforms.
While the majority of the time was spent talking about education (“there’s nothing more important,” said the President), Obama also made his first public comments about the GOP’s Pledge To America.
Lauer asked Obama about the “rhetoric” from the other side – “coming from the Republicans toward you, coming from the tea party toward you.”
“I’ve got a very sharp difference with the republicans on a lot of issues,” he said, clarifying his remark to “republican leadership,” while noting how many “wonderful people out there who are Republicans and Independents.”
“What I’m seeing out of the Republican leadership over the last several years has been a set of policies that are just irresponsible,” said Pres. Obama. “We saw in their Pledge To America a similar set of irresponsible policies.”
He also weighed in on the possibility of his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, running for mayor of Chicago.
