As the leader of the Republicans what I'm telling that we elected the president to be president. It's time for him to step up to the plate and lead us in the direction of reducing our excessive spending.

More quotes by Mitch McConnell
Public disclosure of campaign contributions and spending should be expedited so voters can judge for themselves what is appropriate.
Mitch McConnell
Forcing free market plans to compete with these government-run programs would create an unlevel playing field and inevitably doom true competition.
Mitch McConnell
It's a shame that the president doesn't embrace the effort to reduce spending. None of us like using situations like the sequester or the debt ceiling or the operation of government to try to engage the president to deal with this.
Mitch McConnell
If you believe one of the biggest problems confronting the country is overregulation by this administration, the single most effective way to begin to rein in the aggressive regulators, who in my view have done great damage to this economy, is in the bills that fund the regulators.
Mitch McConnell
Tiger Woods and John Edwards had a better year than the stimulus bill.
Mitch McConnell
We didn't make much progress on the country's agenda. And in my view it's because the Senate basically hadn't done much of anything, with a couple of exceptions, for the last four years [of Barack Obama's presidency]. And that's going to change.
Mitch McConnell
This heinous crime should be of particular concern to all of us. . . . I know my colleagues will agree that the murder of Americans overseas cannot go unpunished. I will continue to closely follow developments in this case[.]
Mitch McConnell
It seems with every new day, we have a new veto threat from the president.
Mitch McConnell
We're living under the Obama economy. Any CEO in America with a record like this after three years on the job would be graciously shown the door. This president blames the managers instead. He blames the folks on the shop floor. He blames the weather.
Mitch McConnell
It took us in this country 11 years to get from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution.
Mitch McConnell
The biggest problem confronting the country is our excessive spending. If we're not going to deal with it now, when are we going to deal with it? And we've watched the government explode over the last four years. We've dealt with the revenue issue.
Mitch McConnell
The new troops in Iraq need to be Iraqi troops.
Mitch McConnell
I don't think there's any equivalency between the way that the Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.
Mitch McConnell
It's important to remember that some of our best sources in the war against radical Islamic terrorism are Muslims, both in America and overseas.
Mitch McConnell
The president feels not only do we need to change these rogue regimes, but even our friendly allies, who really basically have, sort of, benign dictatorships, need to get with the program if they want to have long-term security and prosperity from terrorism.
Mitch McConnell
I think the important thing to remember here is that we haven't been attacked again at home since September of 2001.
Mitch McConnell
Obama hasn't been working to earn reelection, he's been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour!
Mitch McConnell
We have a debt the size of our economy, which makes us look a lot like Greece.
Mitch McConnell
I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting. Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this - it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming. And it focuses the Congress on something that must be done.
Mitch McConnell
Are we still a country that takes risks, that innovates, that believes anything is possible? Or are we a country that is resigned to whatever liberty the government decides to dish out?
Mitch McConnell
