I’m backing off on Boner for a while too. He’s showing some real leadership here.
Mind you... the solution Boner is proposing is merely a rounding error and will have absolutely no impact on our fiscal crisis other than to kick the can into 2012...
BUMP that!
Cripes, it's time to lay off the guy. Some people here forget that Boehner has to herd 240 GOP members of the House and keep them united in the face of relentless pressure from the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms as well as, in some cases, their own cowardice.
My hat is off to Boehner and the rest of them for not caving.
At the end of the day, it's the result that counts.
How is he showing leadership? I am so confused. He is allowing this inept president to SPEND more money that we don’t have. I guess everyone’s just happy that Boehner has not burst into tears. Leadership would be saying NO to the debt limit hikes! THAT would be leadership. Cutting pennies over YEARS and allowing trillions more to be spent over those year is NOT LEADERSHIP!
This is serious business and they are all acting for the cameras to shut us up and let them continue spending! It’s complete madness!
