White House believes assaults on Boehner are bearing fruit
the Hill ^ | 9-14-10 | Sam Youngman

White House spokesman Bill Burton said the White House strategy of elevating House Minority Leader John Boehner in recent days appears to be working.

Burton told reporters on Air Force One that the assaults from White House officials on Boehner have been successful in getting across Obama’s defense of ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

“What’s important here is the underlying fight, which is that the president and congressional Democrats are for extending tax cuts for families who make less than $250,000 a year,” he said.

“So to the extent that we’ve had a vigorous debate about that, I think that, yes, it has been successful,” Burton said.

Virtually no one in America knows who Boehner is.

Hussein personally calling him out just falls flat, IMO. Such a thing simply elevates Boehner, and makes 0bama look smaller(if that’s possible).

The whole country is laughing at the mob in this administration.

Let them think they are winning the debate.

Then, when the 2X4 hits them in the head in November... maybe they’ll become even more stupid.

“So to the extent that we’ve had a vigorous debate about that, I think that, yes, it has been successful,” Burton said.

When a president is forced to step down to engage in vigorous debate with a congressman, the president loses. Period.

Good point - Boehner has low name recognition.

We should start the rumor that Boehner is a guest-host on the Rush Limbaugh Show, and it would backfire just like previous attempts.

They also think the stimulus bill and economic recovery, foreclosure assistance, etc. are all working. HA

Exactly right. What a stupid strategy. The wheels are definitely starting to come off the 0bama machine.

Tip to the Whitehouse:

Assault is a crime in the United States.

That’s all they got. Attack Ms. Botox’s replacement since they are ashamed to run on healthcare and the rest of their unpopular debacles. They are pathetic losers. They pass massive legislation that will change our country forever and they are too cowardly to stand by their vote and their commie leader.

Less than 1% of the US population even knows who Boehner is. And 100% of the US population can't even pronounce his name correctly.

Let the Dems waste their time. It's their specialty.
