Skelton:The White House lost its way

Fourth District Congressman Ike Skelton apparently has been at odds with the Obama Administration:

"Somewhere along the line, the White House lost its way," said Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the Armed Services Committee. "Instead of focusing on solutions to help America's families wade through the wreckage of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s, Washington has wasted valuable time wrestling with partisan politics in an effort to rush through drastic reforms that do not directly address our most immediate needs."

Skelton added: "The president's address has lent us all hope - hope that the administration is finally heeding our concerns. It's about time."
