Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) used Twitter Monday to describe the November midterms as a choice between those who would "build" and those who would "kick ... down."

He said:

It takes a great man to build a barn. Any jackass can kick it down. Campaign '10: You with the builders or the asses?

The charge of GOP obstructionism is familiar from Democrats this election cycle, especially as Senate Republicans choose to filibuster legislation like a recent small-business aid bill.

President Obama urged the bill's passage on Monday, and said he hoped Congress would take action when it returns from August recess.

"Holding this bill hostage is dire! ctly detrimental to our economic growth," he said in a short Rose Garden speech.

Republicans have said that their opposition to the bill stems from the Democrats' refusal to allow votes on individual amendments.

Anthony Weiner, who has 1,870 followers, has represented parts of Brooklyn and Queens since 1999.
