Where is more info on Senator: better days ahead despite war, recession (AP)?
WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday the United States ultimately will overcome the daunting problems of war, recession and double-digit unemployment. Challenges will be met, better days are ahead and the nation’s leaders will unite for the common good despite sometimes sharp political disagreements that are the hallmark of a vibrant democracy, the senator from Kentucky said in the GOP’s weekly radio address. “The new year always brings with it renewed hope and a spirit of optimism – qualities that have exemplified our nation and its people from the very start,” McConnell said. He drew a historical parallel, citing the colonial army of 230 years ago winning a great military victory amid the exhaustion of a war in which the colonists were facing impossible odds against the British. “Powerful forces may be aligned against us … but when the challenges are greatest, Americans always join ranks,” the senator said.
