WASHINGTON -- If Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada still feels remorse for calling President Bush a loser, he didn't show it on Tuesday.
In a news conference, Reid was asked if his comment about Bush would make it more difficult to negotiate with Republicans.
"I tell people how I feel about things. I don't try to hide how I feel," Reid said.
"Maybe my choice of words was improper, and I have indicated that maybe they were, but I want everyone here, I repeat, to know I'm going to continue to call things the way that I see them, and I think this administration has done a very, very bad job for this nation and the world."
Asked for a comment, the White House referred a call to the Republican National Committee.
"I think the Party of 'No' would be better served if it set aside its angry rhetoric and obstructionism and joined Republicans at the table to provide solutions for the issues confronting our country," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz.
