I've looked and can't find it anywhere. It should be a politician's training tape.
Maggief can find anything........except BO’s BC! ;^)
Slightly off topic. But I gather that Boehner did a great job. Now if only he could follow up with a little discipline.
Like, how about punishing those Republicans who voted on the wrong side? Words are good, but we also need some action. Maybe if there had been more discipline earlier, these guys wouldn’t have dared vote with the Dems this time.
The very least he could do is give them offices in the basement.
It should show up in the congressional record eventually. They only seem to be up to June 23 not.
I’m hoping someone has the audio/video
Watch this video in a new window

John has a YouTube site, it’s probably there. If not, check his Senate Site.
The entire session, including Boehner’s rebuttal, is here:
This may not be the right place to post this, but here goes.
A disturbing trend in today’s America: un-Americanism!
Am not talking about the White House, that is a given. The man is angry, hates America, has no idea as to why and how America reached the top. And the man does not care, he just knows that he and others have not participated in the benefits of freedom and hard work. He thinks with new programs etc. he can legislate equal benefits to all. Such thinking has taken place before, and is in use in many nations today. Results, complete failure.
What I am talking about is the lack of Americanism in the Halls of Congress and in the citizens of our Nation. At least 50% of Congress is un-American. They can say what they want but their voting records say otherwise. The same with our population. Many say they are American, but at least 50% do not vote that way.
Why do their votes indicate un-Americanism? Simple. Take Cap & Trade. Is that to benefit America? Restrictions on finding new energy sources, like drilling, coal plants, nuclear, refineries. Is that to benefit America? High taxes and punitive laws cause companies to move out of America. Is that to benefit America? Do higher taxes and restrictions on individuals to make choices help America and its people? Is causing the Nation to go deeper and deeper in debt helpful to America and Americans? Is taking care of people from birth to death helpful even if it bankrupts our Nation? Is rewarding failure and penalizing success helpful to America and Americans? Has lack of standards, moral or otherwise been helpful to America and Americans?
You know the answer to all those questions. Yet the American voter keeps sending the same un-American people back to leadership positions. What does that say about them? Are they true Americans? That is a question each of us must answer, truthfully. Are you an American, or an American in name only?
Agreed. Who would ever have thought that we would arrive here after the wake-up call we got on 9/11?
Good one.
Too many voters have been lead to believe this nation is ruled by consensus of the governed, as in majority rules. Too many voters wink and nod at vote fraud, especially if it gets their favored candidate elected. Too many voters have little or no study of the issues of the nation and are voting on personal;ities and party affiliation. We the people have been usurped as the sovereigns of a Constitutional Republic, replaced by a federal oligarchy which a larger number of votes has ushered in, too many of which are fraudulently cast and protected by a party which is relieved to find that the sheeple haven’t a clue regarding the criminal enterprise that is the democrat party. The Constitutional Republic is dead, long live the Republic.
The Constitution seems to be dead.
