Republican Reaction To Health Care Summit

Washington News Observer spoke with various outspoken Republicans.  Some Republicans claimed that Republicans came out on top at this summit, while other dismissed it as a waste of time. The following clips feature Reps. Michelle Bachmann, Steve King and Brian Bilbray.

So I don’t think we’re going to see a lot of productivity unfortunately because it would have been nice if we actually could’ve seen something move down the road. Instead I think what we’re seeing is a President who has dug his heels in and he plans to do nothing but defend his incomprehensible over 2,000 page long plan.

Former Spanish Prime Minister Aznar Speaks On Radical Islam

Last week, Washington News Observer in collaboration with Big Government attended a speech by former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.

His successor has since withdrawn all Spanish troops from Iraq.
