Obama: GOP Captive to 'Ideologically Rigid' Faction

President Barack Obama on Friday said the Republican Party in Congress is captive to an ideologically rigid, unproductive and cynical faction. "It doesn't have to be that way," Obama told Democratic donors during a fundraiser barbecue in Purchase, New York. "There has been a certain cynical genius to what some of these folks have done in Washington." Later, at another fundraiser in Newport, Rhode Island, he said, "The answer to our challenges is actually pretty simple. We need a better Congress."
