Send ONLY Joe Wilson to the SOTU speech.
“At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, “I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?”
“You get nothing,” the president said. “I get that for free.” “
the only way to interpret behavior like this is that obama wanted to go over the cliff all along, and is being a deliberate a-hole just because he thinks he can.
this is not a professional way to negotiate, anyone with any experience negotiating would recognize that behavior like obama’s is stupid to the extreme, you don’t deliberately antagonize your opponent like that (especially if you will be working together in the future)
obama is like many weaklings, when they think they are in a powerful position, they overplay their hand.
If I were Boehner, I would have told him he would be invited to the House of Representatives to make his SOTU speech from the womens sh!tter since control of room assignments are at his discretion.
You mean the same fool who just whipped Mitt and picked up seats in both houses when polls less than two years ago showed Rs setup to pick up the Senate control?. He is ahead of clueless Rs every move.
The debt limit will be part of Os terms of surrender to Republicans. Extend it for ~ 2 years. They are like Charlie Brown.
O last two years with the Pelosi House will turn this country to hell.
I don’t know why Boehner doesn’t see this!
Don’t just do something, stand there!!
So what’s new? He does that every time he talks about the Repubs.
State of the Union “speech”? Maybe the speaker of the house will neglect to invite the One to speak before a join session of congress. The constitution requires the president to report to congress. It doesn’t require congress to listen, or host, a speech.
Boehner should tell the One to have one of his lackeys write the report on a Big Chief tablet with a fat pre-school crayon, and mail it in by the deadline.
Come to think of it, there’s no reason for congress to invite the One to give an inauguration speech on the grounds of the capitol either. The swearing-in can be done in any convenient broom cupboard in the white hut.
Fine. Go for it, bozo. It’s not like the msm isn’t already spreading that little lie.
Let that evil bastard zero blame Boner. The GOP can throw Boner under the bus and maybe we can have someone to stand up to this God damn Devil. In WW2, Neville Chamberlin gave up his post to Churchill in order to face the enemy. Time for Boner to give up, but where is our Churchill?
Obama holds the world record for debt, what’s to stop this despotic and diabolical man from exerting his real desire? If unchecked, I have no doubt that Obama would happily exterminate more people than Mao, Stalin and Hitler combined; he is that depraved, IMO.
I pray every day that we are spared from this bastard.
Of course Obama’s gonna do that. It’s his M.O.
Yup. And what's Boehner going to do? (As if we don't know).
The fact that there is a 1% chance of that happening tells me that we're now in free fall. I don't see anything changing until we hit bottom. The only question is when.
The proper response (assuming Boehner’s not carrying a sidearm) is, “you’re such a lying scumbag, you plan to do that regardless.” Thanks chiller.
We've already seen that he is powerless. He will never get a vote on anything that raises any taxes.
At least that's how it appears to me. The Tea Party Congress is in charge now. </optimism>
“If Pubbies cave again, I’ll support a move to bring Sarah out of retirement and lead the charge. Screw the Republicans.”
Really! You know, there was a time that I liked Sarah, but she hasn’t worn well with me and many others. I fail to understand this “Sarah’s Brigade” nonsense. At this point in her “career” she is powerless, and she owes that fact to the way she’s operated for the past four years. Just tell us what you think she’s good at. Her “endorsements” yielded nothing this past election. Inquiring minds want to know! I do agree with your assessment of the GOP however. They are noting but a pack of feckless turds.
Bingo ! Don’t invite the bastard. After that obnoxious display, he would not get an invitation from me. What are you made of John ? Do you like sand kicked in your face?
Take the gloves off now or get out of the way. If there EVER was a time, a place, and a reason this is it !!!!
When you ask; Who in this party is I unafraid to call the bastards out? She’s the only one I know. She rallied the troops before and could again
Perfect analysis. I now understand why Boehner went home.
If true Obama has exposed his hole card and we will have to see if Boehner has the wits to counter. I doubt that he does have the moxie to call Obama and he is so enamored with his dude appearance he will not willingly let any other player call Obama.
