Boehner: Obama ‘Playing with Matches’ on Amnesty, and ‘He’s Going to Burn Himself’
National Review ^ | 11/06/2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 11/06/2014 11:44:44 AM PST by Rusty0604

Republican House speaker John Boehner warned President Obama ...

“I’ve made clear to the president that if he acts unilaterally on his own, outside of authority, he will poison the well,” Boehner said in a Thursday press conference. “And there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this Congress. It’s as simple as that.”

The speaker trotted out the same warning when pressed on whether executive action would be a “catalyst” for congressional immigration action, as the White House has suggested. “When you play with matches, you take the risk of burning yourself,” he cautioned. “And [President Obama] is going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path.”

Boehner must go asap. He is damaged goods, he is too close to Obama and the New World Order.

In 6 months if Boehner is still speaker, we will have amnesty.

Lord Foul is a narcissistic megalomaniac, reality and it’s consequences have no meaning for him and never will, I bet he ends up in a mental institution when the world finally sees the truth in the damage he has done.

Bonehead and the entire GOPe want so badly to work with, bend over for, and take it from Obama! They want to be able, in 2016, to say, “See, we worked with the Democrats, please re-elect us?!?” They are just try to pander to the independents and stupids!

But they know that if Obola does this executive action for amnesty, there is no way that they will be able to work with Obama on anything, without taking it in the shorts from conservatives, Republicans, and Libertarians.

That is why Rubio, Bonehead and so many others are begging Odumbot to not step on their toes, here at the very beginning of this dance!!

Exactly..

AMNESTY = "Democrat voter registration drive for +10 MILLION illegal aliens"

The Republican party will DIE if this happens. Republicans will NEVER win another election. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

Dear Boehner and McConnell: WAKE THE EFF UP!!!!

Let’s say the R’s say:

1. We never built the wall we promised Reagan in the first deal the D’s did with us.

2. We have some pretty good laws on the books as it is. Let’s agree to enforce those.

3. If you want to keep the folks that are already here, a lot of new things are going to have to happen:

- No more anchor babies
- Means test for any new immigrants
etc.

The only “reform” we need regarding immigration is to start enforcing the laws we already have.

1. Start deportations.
2. Ban any immigration from terrorist countries.

So Boner has his own plan for Amnesty.

That’s what he means.

Like Obama cares.

Below is a perfect depiction of Obama. He is Tonto, in America but not American. The Lone Ranger is us. We are surrounded by Indians, whether they are ISIS, ebola, a bad economy, Russian expansion, Venezuelan marxists. He does not care.

Reminds me of diners in a restaurant who insist on everything with no salt, no fat, all kinds of allergies and then complain that the food doesn’t taste as good as it used to.

Exactly. Amnesty is the Marxist win for the next 50 year.

0bama will do anything, suffer any consequences for Marxism.

No more anchor babies would be a great start. That was meant for ex-slaves that were brought here against their will children and I guess the court decided it was good for all illegals.

But he’s not “slapping 0bama down”.

Boner is saying he (Boner) wants to pass the Amnesty himself.

if this Obama is allowed to pass amnesty by himself then America is just a dictatorship. whey did we work so hard to get Congress elected if they are irrelevant as the dictator issues executive orders that do things like give amnesty

the Constitution made the presidency a weak office .the Obmama creep has no authority to do this

these executive orders are illegal and unconstitutional

Obama must be impeached, removed from office and Jailed for his lawlessness

call Congress 202-224-3121 to stop Obama’s executive order for Amnesty for illegals

also tell congress to threaten jail for this criminal Obama if it dares to do this treasonous act

“And there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this Congress.”

Ah, but if 0bama doesn’t unilaterally act, then Boner himself will ensure he will get “immigration reform moving in this Congress.”
