Rep. Eric I. Cantor, R-7th, promised today to work with President Barack Obama, but said the president is trying to do too much at once.
Cantor told about 1,500 people attending his annual fundraising breakfast in Richmond that “government is not very good” when it loses focus.
Obama and Congress should be concentrating on stimulating the economy, he said.
Cantor, the House Republican whip, helped lead the GOP in unanimous opposition to Obama’s $787 billion plan Cantor said the plan lacked focus. Instead of trying to create jobs, he charged, it recycled old government programs.
Lobbyists, Republican legislators and Richmond’s business elite crowded a ballroom at the Richmond Convention Center to hear Cantor and former eBay president Meg Whitman, now a candidate for governor of California.
