Well duh!!!! Who didn't know this? ☝🏾☝🏾

Around 2009, during the early presidency of Barack Obama, there were reports of a Republican strategy to oppose much of his agenda.

A well-known example is Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell saying the party’s top goal was to make Obama a one-term president.

This reflected a broader political strategy of strong opposition.

⚠️ About Voinovich specifically

George Voinovich was considered a moderate Republican and at times broke with his party.

There is no widely verified direct quote from him stating that Republicans were told not to pass anything Obama proposed even if it helped Americans.

However, he did express frustration with partisanship and occasionally criticized overly rigid opposition.
