While the main source is Joe Biden, two former Republicans have confirmed. >>Biden says that during the transition, he was warned not to expect any cooperation on many votes. “I spoke to seven different Republican Senators, who said, `Joe, I’m not going to be able to help you on anything,’ he recalls. His informants said McConnell had demanded unified resistance. “The way it was characterized to me was: `For the next two years, we can’t let you succeed in anything. That’s our ticket to coming back,’” Biden says. The vice president says he hasn’t even told Obama who his sources were, but Bob Bennett of Utah and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania both confirmed they had conversations with Biden along these lines.<<

When McConnell took to the media and announced the GOP's main goal was to make sure Obama was a one term President, you knew the GOP was determined to let the country fail just so they could regain the White House. It's treason is what it is.
