They just gave obama a blank check. He can now give the peoples’ money to anyone he wants. Including our enemies and his staff. The house is now irrelevant.

That dam project is in Ohio and Kentucky.
Bonehead is from Ohio. McConnell is from Kentucky.

Ironic isn’t it?

It does so by allowing President Obama to waive the debt ceiling,
a move that can be overridden by a resolution of disapproval by
Congress that Obama could still veto.
It's a coup de grâce...so what's the use of the House of Representatives?...
..so Usama's *itch McConnell & John "*HIC!*" Boehmer are dancin' / singin' @ the White Hut."

Like Mark Levin just said: “so much for the ‘clean’ continuing resolution”

House Dems Sent Boehner a Message: Strike a Deal and Maybe We Can Help Protect Your Speakership

He said, “I’ll get back to you.”

Yeah, that will come after the Christmas Eve announcement that amnesty has been granted. So...in that case...who cares anymore?

I hope it was worth it to you Mitchie. You’re going down.

I am sure that Mrs. Lautenberg is a lovely person, but she is richer than Midas. Frank Lautenberg was worth about $100,000,000 when he died. Why to the hard pressed taxpayers have to kick in another $174,000 for his widow?

This is chump change to her, but real money to you or me.

Absolutely agree- obama threatened them with the complete destruction of our country. But he’s going to do that anyway. the sooner we deal with it and face it the less painful it will be .But we better hurry up and face it, cause it’s going to be more difficult to get our country back the longer it goes. It was like obama told congress- either I kill you or you kill yourself.Figurativly. They shoulda pulled a Deerhunter on him. Metaphoriccly

Why don’t they just put an Enabling Act in there?

May as well.

In other words, Senator Mitch McConnell gave away what is the House's prerogative. No wonder Harry Reid was willing to give him $2 billion for his damn dam...

And, if I'm not mistaken, this is the second time Mitch has tried to pull this trick.

How can the House possibly stand for this?

Well! Well well well! Well well well well!

We now amend the Constitution with a few laws, not with an Amendment! How... progressive!

Well! Well well well! Well well well well!

That used to be called "logrolling" and it used to be illegal.

Oh, well.

Boner is just dumb enough to believe them. If someone challenges him everyone of the democrats will vote for Pelosi and she would be speaker again. The democrats are hoping someone challenges Boner. I wish someone would challenge boner. Then the rinos would have the choice of voting for a true conservative or voting for Pelosi.

The Speaker of the U.S. House is elected by the majority of the majority caucus. The minority caucus has no say.
