John Boehner Knocks Obama IRS Targeting Defense as ‘Inconceivable'
ABC News ^ | June 11, 2013 | by Abby D. Phillip

Posted on 06/11/2013 7:43:17 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

It’s “inconceivable” that President Obama was unaware that the IRS was targeting conservative groups, House Speaker John Boehner said today.

“It would be inconceivable in my operation that my staff would know it and I wouldn’t,” the Ohio Republican told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.”

“It just doesn’t pass the straight-face test. How could – how can your chief of staff – your general counsel know, and you not know?”

Obama has said that he first found out about the outcome of an inspector general audit when the report was released publicly, but his aides say they were informed that a report was forthcoming weeks earlier.

Boehner would not say whether he believes Cincinnati employees were directed by the White House.

“I don’t know where it was directed from,” Boehner said.

And what are you gonna’ do about it, Crybaby Boehner? Huh?

You’re all mouth and worthless. I can’t imagine what you’re putting our country through by refusing to withhold funding from scores of illegal programs.

Yawn. He will huff and puff. And then support amnesty. He sees his future as House minority leader.

Even when Boehner makes a good observation it’s of little to no value.

- He won’t follow up, or take any action.

- He’s currently doing all he can with the immigration bill to be sure that his Democrat masters are viable in the 2014 elections.

Boehner is hurting the public almost as much as Obama.

Serious... what kind of 60 year old man spends lots of time in a tanning booth? Seems kind of creepy to me imagining it.

“I don’t know where it was directed from,” Boehner said.”

Just happened I guess....in a pigs eye. House leader? This guy is nothing more than the guy who picks up after the circus parade has passed. They had soft balls tossed their way from the ATF gun fiasco, to Benghazi, to monitoring tel records of reporters, to the IRS targeting, to the latest NSA matter and they are too scared of their own shadow to call a spade a spade.

I think Boehner will retire. He will be 65 next year and is a heavy smoker. Boehner is raking in the bribes to pass amnesty. He will take the political bullet for amnesty and Cantor will probably be the next GOP House leader.

looks like we’re getting our punishment...

Quoting Barack Hussein Obama from a Univision interview he gave in October 2010:

“We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us”

Source:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/10/transcript-of-president-barack-obama-with-univision.html

Openly declared as “Obama’s Brain”, and the figure whose second story West Wing office has been described by political insiders as the true Oval Office of the Obama White House, Valerie Jarrett is letting it be known that if Barack Obama secures election victory next week, there may be, quite literally, hell to pay for those who opposed him.

“Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay”

I’m just surprised he took his thumb out of his mouth long enough to say anything. I’m even more shocked to see him standing erect without a spine.

We’ve elected an incessant, prevaricating sonofabitch to the highest office. Bad news.

Somebody put Viagra in his Froot Loops today, I guess.

He's standing up for something.

It won't last for four hours, though.

Uh, wouldn't that be YOUR state, Mr. Speaker (OH)?? Is that YOUR finger in the pudding?

He has been hiding out during the IRS & amnesty debates. This appearance is about the NSA. Bonehead got marching orders from K Street to go out and support the NSA. He is little more than a high priced hooker at this point. Meet his price and he is available.
