House Speaker John Boehner and Barack Obama

Barack Obama: Defiant congressional Republicans attacked President Barack Obama agenda from all sides Tuesday, ignoring veto threats and pushing bills to uproot his policies on immigration and Wall Street, force approval of energy pipeline legislation he opposes and make him justify any new federal rules before he makes them. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "The key now is for us to work as a team," said Obama, who has issued five veto threats with the new Congress not yet two weeks old. He cited taxes, trade and cybersecurity as areas for potential co-operation, and also told lawmakers he would work with them to come up with a proposal to authorize military force against the Islamic State group.
