Obama: GOP 'trying to gut our investments in education'

By Jonathan Easley - 11/08/11 02:11 PM ET

President Obama continued to hammer what he’s called the “do-nothing Republican Congress” on Tuesday, accusing Republicans of trying “to gut investments in education” as he laid out the next in his series of executive actions aimed at education reform and job creation.
“After trying for months to work with Congress on education reform, we decided to take it into our own hands,” Obama said at a Head Start educational facility in Yeadon, Penn.

The comments were similar to remarks Obama has been making over the last few weeks, as the White House looks to portray Republicans as obstructionist.
