House Republicans reached back to recent history Tuesday to rebut Democratic critics who blame them for not working on a multi-year transportation authorization bill. Rep. Don Young of Alaska asked why President Barack Obama, at the height of his power in 2009, did not push for a multi-year transportation bill supported by then-Democratic Rep. Jim Oberstar of Minnesota.
