Republicans don't want President Obama to achieve anything while he's in office, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said.

Cummings said that he hoped when Congress reconvenes from recess Obama would unveil a bold plan for job creation that included new spending. Republicans will probably shoot down such a plan, Cummings added.

"I think the president needs to come out with a bold plan, a very rational plan and then we must present that to the nation, he must present that to the nation too and then have the Republicans say why they can't do it," Cummings said Friday on MSNBC.

"Now, understand, I don't think that the Republicans want this president to achieve hardly anything. I think the president is right, they are much more concerned about the next election than the next generation, and sometimes their own constituents," Cummings continued.

The Obama administration plans to unveil a new plan for job creation soon after Labor Day. C! ritics have wondered why Obama did not present the plan sooner and have said he should have presented it sometime in August rather than go on vacation.
