Mitch McConnell, the new Senate majority leader, has an exceedingly high opinion of his own power.
In
a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday morning outlining his priorities
for the new Congress, the Kentucky Republican suggested that the GOP
takeover of Congress - not yet 24 hours old - had already boosted the American economy.
"After so many years of sluggish growth, we're finally starting to see
some economic data that can provide a glimmer of hope," McConnell said
in his clenched monotone. "The uptick appears to coincide with the
biggest political change of the Obama administration's long tenure in
Washington: the expectation of a new Republican Congress."
