Leadership. Congressional leaders were forced to ask President Wonderful and his aides to leave the White House meeting so that they could get something done. The Hill reported:
GOP aides and lawmakers, speaking on background, portrayed Boehner as the calm negotiator who repeatedly exasperated President Obama.
Boehner last month asked the networks to televise his response to Obama’s address to the nation, a request which infuriated the White House, Republican sources said.
On July 23, they claim, the White House called Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), telling her not to participate on a call with Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Pelosi informed Reid, who declined to participate, and the call was canceled, the Republican sources said. (A Pelosi spokesman could not be reached for comment.)
Later that day, the four leaders met with Obama at the White House. At one point, GOP officials said, the Democratic and Republican leaders asked Obama and his aides to leave the room to let them negotiate.
A tentative deal was subsequently struck, but Obama privately threatened to veto it, the sources said.
Someone please post the crybaby obama pic.
Considering the disaster they got done, what good did it do?
LOL...I bet that really bruised his ego.
That ole boy is quite the Leader, isn’t he. I feel so good knowing his finger is on the button.
heh heh
“Considering the disaster they got done, what good did it do?”
Couldn’t agree more. The Cretin-in-Chief still won.
Bone-Head should go.
NOW!
That ole boy is quite the Leader, isn’t he. I feel so good knowing his finger is on the button...............
But where are the missiles pointed straight up?
it was like having a hyperactive kid in the room , bet they told him football was on and off he went
LLS
This is TOO funny!
I can just see it now...
This is even more ridiculous than the new normal that has been established for these daily idiocies that were once widely seen for the ridiculousness they are. Other countries routinely have the leader of the opposition party have a say in response, or in parallel, to policy.
Obozo is one of the dumber white guys out there. You can’t take him anywhere without him embarassing everyone.
He proved himself to be the child in the room.
No problem. He had to go out for a smoke anyway.
My God, Obama must really think he is the king or something. I can just picture him losing his temper over the audacity of Boehner getting time on air.
Oh what a precious event to have read about!
Even Rats and RINOS don’t want to deal with him now!
