Republicans Are Standing in the Way of Helping Workers, President Says

BOSTON (AP) — President Barack Obama used Labor Day as a chance to criticize Republicans, who he says stand in the way of helping workers and have been wrecking the economy for "a long, long time."

Obama addressed a major union rally in Boston to mark Labor Day.

He says he's glad Republicans are trying to rebrand themselves as the party of the middle class. But he says their rhetoric is all talk and no action.
