President Should Not Be Held To Lower Standard Than Mayors And Governors

WASHINGTON, November 22, 2011--Senator Sessions appeared on CNN Newsroom today to discuss the failure of the supercommittee to reach an agreement. Earlier in the year, House Republicans produced an historic long-term budget plan while Senate Democrats failed to produce one at all.

During the interview, Sessions remarked: "It is amazing to me that the president would not be a leader and a player in this, I cannot imagine a mayor or a governor facing anything like this kind of debt threat not being engaged in any of the reform... he is not a player in the great debate of our time. There is no greater threat to America than this debt crisis and he has refused to look the American people in the eye and tell them how serious it is."
