Senior Capitol Hill Republicans are applauding the White House decision to shelve planned smog regulations while reviving their attacks on the White House regulatory agenda.

Their responses — a week before President Obama is slated to give a major speech before Congress on jobs — signal that the ozone decision will not sap GOP attacks on the administration’s agenda.

“This action alone will prevent more job losses than any speech the President has given, and I hope he will listen to the bipartisan calls from across the country to address his administration’s negative impact on job creation,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a statement.

Now the Republicans will be reasonable and accomodating forever!
