Gov. O'Malley: GOP prolongs economic woes to hurt Obama

Democratic Governors Association Chair and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said Thursday that Republicans were opposed to any plan proposed by President Barack Obama that could lead to job creation.

"I firmly believe that Republicans in Congress, driven by a concerted group, have decided that it is not in their party's political interest to have the president succeed at creating any jobs," he said at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. "And I believe therefore they will do their very best to deny him any victories that could lead to job creation or a speedier recovery."

"I don't think there is another rational explanation for much of their opposition," O'Malley added.
