Based on the dismal state of the union and after four years of doing exactly what Rush Limbaugh said he hoped that he would do, by any thinking person's standards President Barack Obama has indeed "failed." Yet, despite the catastrophe, on Election Day the American people inexplicably invited the President to spend the next four years beating the dead horse that he killed during his first term.
The next day, after being MIA for months, Speaker of the House John Boehner crawled out of the tanning bed long enough to publicly assure the President that House Republicans plan to work with him on his sole first-term accomplishment - the looming "fiscal cliff."
Wait a minute, wasn't it way back in 2008 that Barack Obama told America that "this is the moment" when good jobs would be provided for the jobless, the rise of the oceans would slow, and the planet would begin to heal? Why then, as America drowns in an ocean of debt and sinks in a sea of unemployment, would the Speaker of the House tell Obama "This is your moment...we want you to succeed?"
SNIP SNIP
if Boehner believes that this is truly Barack Obama's "moment," why not just let the President do whatever he wants? Republicans in Congress should politely step aside and allow Obama to finish what he started. In so doing, they will inoculate themselves against any ensuing liability as well as avoid becoming the object of Obama's notorious blame game.
And so, as conciliatory bipartisanship is cultivated and John Boehner encourages Barack Obama to forge ahead, one can only hope that the newfound collegiality in Washington DC includes Republicans helping our determined liberal leader to aim that big ole' policy gun he has pointed at America's head downward toward his own foot.

Did he say something since Tuesday? Because you’re right, I’ve been trying to avoid his voice at all costs. My BP goes stratospheric when I hear him talk.
“The future should not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
—Barack Obama
Hey, that’s so true.
They’ll still be patting themselves on the backs for all the Ochievements when the EBT cards are empty and the dollar is worth its equivalent square inches of TP.
I agree. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and these are DESPERATE times. Therefore I would advise Boner to recess the House and not call it back into session til after Barry is sworn in again. In the meantime the Bush tax cuts expire for EVERYONE, the sequestration takes place and ta da!!!... the debt limit is reached. Boner to Barry....”Sorry Preezy of the Steezy, but I’m down in the Keys gettin in some rounds of golf. I’ll call you back in a couple of months. Better dust of that plan of yours. Bye”
Never happen but it sure would be fun to watch the Moochers burn down their neighborhoods when their EBT cards don’t show up in the mail.
Spot on. He isn't concerned for the country and he darned sure wasn't upset at owebama winning. All he cared about was keeping the majority in the house and keeping HIS position.
He and barry obama should go have a good cry together. Heck, the probably already have.
The Headline reads “ Boehner should get out of Obama’s way”
My question is, when was he ever IN Obama’s way?
If Boehner had one ounce of integrity, he would resign and just go away.
It would be different because it would then be on the record that the GOP will not block anything.
The Obama Zombies believe this is the reason for why nothing has gotten done.
Take away any and all excuses to blame us for the mess.
TOTALLY AGREE!! Let the Dems HAVE IT ALL. If the Repubbies try to stop this tax cut or anything...it will be a crutch for the dems to use against us. This is a time to let them have it all. It’s the only way to wake them up. We can’t block...we will only be blamed.
Only if they were to make the mental connection between the cause and the effect of the economic decline, which they won't because
1) The media will continue its brainwashing mission and hammer the theme that the evil republicans and conservatives are causing their economic misery
2) They have been thoroughly conditioned to believe that what they hear from the media is true and accurate
3) The vast majority of them are incapable of critical/ analytical thinking, which is why they were so susceptible to being manipulated by Obama and his cohorts to begin with.
I guess my question would be: why would someone vote for the GOP in 2014?....especially when they sat on their hands for 2 years.
Well, to parse his words, he did say “should not” and not “will not.” That gives him some wiggle room, but you and I know both know exactly what he meant.
I wouldn’t even think about putting any eggs in a basket being carried by John Boehner.
Exactly. This is what I’ve been saying. Let Obama have everything he wants. Let him show the American people once and for all how wrong he is. Let him destroy the Democratic party. If you want to win future elections, let the people drink the whole gallon of Obama cool aid and then maybe, just maybe, they’ll find out who’s really been telling them the truth.
Except spending.
Spot on.....surprised it took so long to get to the correct answer. Continuing resolutions after continuing resolutions. “Just give the magic negro what he wants....*hic*——John Boner.
If there is even one Republican left in the House or Senate, the State Run Media will blame him or her for Osama’s policies.
If the Repubikans are not going to get rid of Boner and shut down the government and de-fund every unconstitutional program and alphabet soup agency, then they should all RESIGN IN MASS.
At this point, we’re beyond the point of no return, and might as well let it crash and prepare for that crash.
We’ll stand back, let it crash, be amused by the confused look on the 0zombies’ faces, then perhaps help with the rebuilding.
IMO, Boehner needs to be replaced due to his lack of spine, guts, and gonads. I also believe that he should step aside and treat his ED.
***** “My husband and I were just stating that very same thing. Call a press conference on the steps of the Capitol and announce that for the next 2 years, the Republicans will sign off on everything the President wants. Then we will see what the country thinks.” *******
Rush was just talking about this but with a twist....
Just Vote “Present”
TT
Mitt Romney should call a press conference (since that will draw the biggest audience) and announce on live TV that the GOP has decided to step aside and allow the Democrats to implement any policy they choose “in the spirit of bipartisanship”.
How would this be any different from what the Republicans have done since 1989?
Haaahaahahaaa
