Sen. Barbara Boxer called rumors that she planned to resign "bizarre" during a news conference in San Francisco's Ferry Building late this morning.
Boxer, 73, said she has no plans to leave a job she loves while serving her fourth term in the U.S. Senate and will decide next year if she will run for re-election in 2016.
Speaking to a crowd of reporters, the senator highlighted multiple regional, state, national and international issues she will address when Congress returns to session on Monday following a five-week recess.
She noted that this is the 54th straight month the country has experienced an increase in private sector jobs, with the unemployment rate at about 6 percent. She is pushing for Congress to increase the federal minimum wage for workers to $10.10 an hour.
She also said her thoughts are with residents of Napa, American Canyon and Vallejo who are suffering from the aftermath of a 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the region nearly two weeks ago.
Boxer said she sent her staff members to the area to help assess damage and commended Gov. Jerry Brown's declaration of a state of emergency for the region. She said she is waiting on President Obama to issue a major disaster declaration in order to provide affected residents with access to federal resources.
Boxer also touched upon immigration reform, ISIS and other state and national issues.
“Boxer sent her staff members ... “
Napa responds: “We shoot looters.”
There is another alterative Babs.
Not the 54th straight month of Net job increases.
As long as she is able to pull down that government paycheck, why would she quite? She is a professional leech and leeches seldom give up their cushy power trips.
It could have been a self reflection. Maybe she said “54th straight month of nut job increases.”
That’s too bad. Her sanity resigned unbeknownst to her a long time ago.
Typical lifer politician, hasn’t done a damned thing for this country or a damned thing for the state of Kalifornia.
The hag has not gotten smarter since then, or accomplished anything either.
The only way to get rid of a leech is to pull it off and end up leaving bloody wounds or apply fire to it.

And in the beginning, when our government was created, they were supposed to have REAL jobs at home, and only be in DC for two or three months, at a very low pay, then back to their farms and businesses at home.
Gee we have come a long way.
Sen. Barbara Boxer Dismisses Resignation Rumors, Calls it “Bizarre”
Well Rumors say constituents call Babs “BIZARRE”
boxer and difi are Exhibits 1 and 2 that Kalifornia is nutso and part of the reason I left the home of my birth.
“As long as she is able to pull down that government paycheck, why would she quite?”
Even if she did “QUIT”, she would still draw that same check.
Evil never retires. Boxer loves having power over the little people too much to leave our Senate.
California gets what they vote for and for 20 plus years they’ve re-elected it time and time again
How about tar and feathers instead?
Boxer = Major Disaster
