From Politico.com reporter Kevin Robillard:

Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin has seen the enemy — and it is Republicans in Congress.

“The one thing that stands in our way of prosperity, of job creation, right now, is this Congress, which refuses to work with the president,” Shumlin said Friday on POLITICO’s State Solutions Conference, adding: “We have a Congress that is holding American prosperity hostage right now; we have Republican governors who are passing the tax policies they can’t get past a Democratic [Senate] and a Democratic president.”

He was speaking at Politico’s “State Solutions” conference, and had much more to say, on gun control and on the 2016 Presidential race. The interviewer gets in a nice sigh, about 45 seconds into the video – watch the video and read the full story at Politico.com.
