I think this should have come from Romney, but it could be argued that Boehner gets to be the bad guy, which shields Romney from looking over aggressive. Maybe like Reid saying Romney hadn’t paid any taxes? Except Reid was wrong and Boehner is right.
You make a valid point and if that’s the case I believe it should have been done sooner, Obama has stonewalled from the time of the attack.
We have elected officials to hold the POTUS accountable. Unfortunately Boehner is one of them.
