Obama: GOP Just "Against Whatever The Other Side Is For"

President Obama has gotten more aggressive in his criticism of Republicans in advance of the upcoming budget fight. In an interview with the Louisville Courier-Journal, Obama suggested the opposition party wasn't for anything beyond opposition:

"I do think that the Republican Party right now hasn't sort of figured out what it's for," Obama said in a White House interview with The Courier-Journal and reporters from five other newspapers. "And so, as a proxy, they've just decided 'we're going to be against whatever the other side is for.' That's not what's needed in an economic crisis."

He added that "you could play that game maybe in the early '90s, when basically we were pretty prosperous. Right now, everybody's got to pull together."
