Sen. Mitch McConnell: Americans Don't Approve of Anything Obama Has Done

“My view is he’ll have a hard time convincing Americans he deserves four more years of this,” McConnell said. “There’s nothing he’s done the American people approve of, so of course, he’s trying to change the subject.”

He was responding to the President’s remarks earlier this week in Kansas where he claimed conservative economics have “never worked”.

“He’s totally wrong as he is on many things. Conservative economics do work. … The president is trying to pit one set of Americans against another. He’s trying to turn this election into anything but what the election is really about. … This election is going to be about his performance, and if the election were held tomorrow, he’d be going into another line of work.”

In the interview, Senator McConnell also discussed the national popular vote scheme and steps the Senate might take to push forward on the delayed Keystone XL project.
