Anyone else notice that anytime Boehner is criticized in any way, there is a rash of post saying, “No”, just give him time...I have.

“And IF this illegal alien does violate the war powers act...will you move to impeachment on him?”

Or maybe just another strongly worded letter?

There are several reason that I don’t think this letter will amount to anything. The main reason is that it was written by John A. Boehner.

He’s let me down way too many times. I cannot take him seriously. He’s a tool.

Past performance IS indicative of future results.

Boehner needs to go.

Why don’t you just ask him on the golf course on Saturday, Mr. Speaker?

“I’m always amazed that so many conservatives are willing to participate in circular firing squads to purge the ranks of everyone who isn’t sufficiently pure. “

That’s because 99% of our politicians are 99% IMPURE.

We’re sick of it. Sick of compromising with the enemy. Sick of grandstanding politicians who... at best, say the right words, then go back to their cocktail parties and photo-ops, smiling next to the very people who want to destroy us.

If I was in congress, I wouldn’t share a bathroom with those people, much less be civil to them.

The Boehner Deranged Brigade is full regalia today and don't like to be contradicted.

Where Boehner wrote, “You took an oath before the American people on January 20, 2009 in which you swore to “faithfully execute the Office of President” and to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States . . . “

Obama interpreted it as “F*** You.”

That is a good thing. Hussein does not take criticism well. The wind is at the back of the good guys.

Michelle says Obama was too busy creating jobs to read the letter and we should give poor Obama a break he has been working tirelessly around the clock since taking office.....

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

obama doesn't want to justify the war because he was never crazy about going against his crazy muzzie friend.

He was pushed into it by our NATO allies who fear the threat of state backed terrorism even more than our own president.

I think everyone is missing the big picture here. Between Issa, Boehner and the debates they are playing Obama hard. He is being pushed from every angle and it is getting harder and harder for him to cover his tracks. he way over stepped his bounds and they are closing in on him from every side.

Impeachment is not even an option. They will never get the democrats to vote for impeaching Obama and they need 2/3 vote for that. They NEED democrats for an impeachment t happen..

Impeaching Obama and getting a no bill would only make him look like he was being persecuted and make him stronger in the upcoming election. It will infuriate the obots and they will work 10 X harder to get him re-elected.

Just keep hitting Boehner and our representatives with letters, calls and faxes about all the stuff that is wrong with Obama and how things need to be changed.

With enough pressure on him, he may not even continue his run. Today he mentioned in two instances that being one term would not be so bad. That MoocHell wouldn’t mind if he left the WH and that days like today make him wish that he was only a one term pResident.

I think that's important. Hurling insults on FR doesn't do anything to improve the situation, but writing firmly and often to one's reps sometimes does. I think they need to know that last November wasn't just a fluke and we really do want a major change.

I think so too. VERY important. If Boehner thinks he can get away with less resistance, he will. As well as our representatives. Sure it is nice to blow off some steam here and I think we all do. But to demand an impeachment is so counter productive it is in the land of destruction to our goals.

We want obama gone. Not stronger.

Impeachment will only suffice to give him another platform to play the race game and show that he has support in the senate and congress yet. There is no way that we will ever get enough to get rid of him. If I thought for a minute we could I would be at my congressman’s office first thing in the AM demanding it, laying out every reason for it (and there are plenty)

But it won’t happen. Just like with Clinton. It only made him stronger and energized his base.

Anyone really want to make Obama stronger and energize his base more? EVEN they are getting sick of him. Let his own actions, his lies, mishandling of everything, Holder taking the brunt of an agents death, ALL Of it, weigh down on him.

Meanwhile, We need to keep the letters going to our representatives since they think that the tea party is no longer a sizable force to be reckoned with. They think that we were placated with 2010. What we need to show them is that we were just getting warmed up and hold their feet to the fire.

I like the way this is being done. I think it is being properly laid and played.

The follow-through is critical of course, but this is the way to build the case, IMHO.
