I hope that some of these Republican Senators and representatives have the guts to corner Boehner in the GOP Caucus and slap him upside the head for his stupidity. If it was a mere slip of the tongue I’d be less concerned, but I believe Boehner’s comment about needing more revenues reveals his true beliefs. He believes we need to raise taxes but knows he’ll be tossed overboard by his own people, so he’s leading the GOP into a budget negotiation corner where it will eventually compromise in order to avoid the shutdown which these weaklings do not have the courage to provoke. We saw this all before with Bush Sr. and the break of his “read my lips” promise. Boehner is cut from the same “compassionate conservative” cloth.
Sounds like Boner and Obama are equally stupid when it comes to the oil and gas industry.
