Republicans ‘Have Some Stuff to Work Out’ in Presidential Race, Obama Says
President Barack Obama spoke at the House Democratic retreat Thursday in Baltimore.
President Obama is set to issue an order creating Vice President Joe Biden’s federal cancer task force Thursday, and Biden says he’ll hold the first meeting on Monday to get major federal agencies working together on faster cancer research.
“I think that history will be very kind to this president and will shine a bright smile on him”, Kelly said.
Obama clearly stated that “We’re not going to build progress with a bunch of phony tough talk and bluster and over-the-top claims that just play into ISIL’s hands” Obama said.
“There’s a lot of noise and a lot of talk about America in decline”, he said. “That’s not keeping America safe”.
But it was the distinction between Democrats and Republicans that Obama returned to over and again. “As Democrats”, he said, “we believe in science-I know it’s a radical proposition”.
Yet its formation gives a formal green light to what until now has been an amorphous effort by the vice president to supercharge cancer research during his final year in office. “Sometimes I get a little frustrated that we don’t run back the tape to what Republicans said”.

“It’s election season, the press has been focused on debates and divisions they can drum up within the primary and within our party”, Obama said to House Democrats at their policy retreat in Baltimore. He promised action on Puerto Rico’s fiscal crisis.

On the political front, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California announced Thursday that she raised $40 million for House Democrats a year ago, including $30.4 million for the campaign committee.
It is far more likely that Democrats could recapture control of the Senate where Democrats need to win just three additional seats to secure a majority.
