Scarborough ‘Salutes’ Obama for Being the ‘Adult’ in Dealing With GOP Congressional Leadership
MSNBC's “Morning Joe” panel hit the Republican congressional leadership Wednesday for not admitting its faults in dealing with the President the past two years. After playing a video clip of leading House Republicans Eric Cantor and John Boehner praising President Obama for his admission of not having reached out enough to the GOP, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough challenged the GOP to do the same. “And now the polite thing to do…is to say 'And you know what? We could have reached out more, too',” ex-Republican congressman Scarborough said of the congressional GOP. “That would have cost them nothing,” he preached. Co-host Mika Brzezinski complained that the GOP focused on the negative, and scolded them for speaking out like they did. “I just heard them emphasizing anything that the President might have given a little to put out an olive branch,” she griped, “and then they focus on the negative.”
