This morning, an op-ed by DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared in Politico, calling out Republicans—and presidential candidate Mitt Romney in particular—for putting politics far ahead of country in their quest to win in 2012.

"Americans can’t wait. They need action now to get the economy moving again. The president continues to work hard to turn the economy around. Republicans need to get off the sidelines and join him and stop rooting for the economy’s failure in order to win an election.
