You’re kidding. Mr. Round-Heels?

[Scotsman will be Free]

Is the author of this editorial so obtuse that he doesn’t understand why boner hasn’t isued any warnings to zero until now? Really?

Boehner is right, Congress can indeed limit what presidents can do simply by denying them the funds or by limiting how those funds can be spent.

True, but it’s useless unless they enforce it. They already have...

The House voted to approve a continuing resolution to keep the government funded from the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30 through Nov. 18. According to an analysis by the conservative Republican Study Committee, the CR permits funding for both Planned Parenthood and implementation of Obamacare.

Same old story sit and wait we dont want to look like the bad guys we want everyone to love us besides this would put a crimp in my golf arrangements with the president. I’m sick of thier do nothing attitude. We have a house of girly men with no balls. Grab the dog by the leash and pull upward and keep it there! fat chance

[hal ogen]

Talk is cheap.

Obama is saying what he’s saying, and that’s all he’s doing. When he actually asks for the money, that will be the time when Boehner should act. What else can he do?

[plain talk]

Nice use of the word “heel”. One brings a dog to heel. I like it.

From the free dictionary idioms
“bring a dog to heel”: to make a dog heel; to make a dog stand or follow close to one’s heels

Zer0 COULD use some dog training based on the pics of him walking Bo.

But the question for the House speaker is why are we just now hearing him issue this warning to Obama nearly a year after voters restored Boehner's party to majority status in the people's house?

The question isn't: Why?

Is Boehner up to the challenge? So far the answer has been no.

Who does this remind me of ? : )

Y'know, it seems every time this finance the government crisis arises, an extension is always passed.

If the thinking is .. "Wellll, we can't see beyond ___________ ", but congress almost always does pass another funding bill ... why not just say, "We can't see beyond a year from now" and pass a bill for a year instead of this month-at-a-time thing?

[Joe Boucher]

Yeah,
House Speaker John Boehner is a eunich.
About as much confidence in him leading against obammy as I would having Tonto lead a charge against the Lone Ranger.

Boehner could put his member and his nuts in a guillotine, the thing could drop and he STILL wouldn’t bleed because there’s not enough there to do any damage to him.

I am really bummed Sarah didn’t decide to run. She has a bigger set than the whole lot of them put together.

Enough with country club RINOS the hell with the lot of them.

[Westbrook]

That’s RACIST!!

House Speaker Weeper of the House, John Boehner doing a Stan Laurel imitation can not be trusted, ever.

And even with the GOP continuing to fund the government, Obama is working diligently to find ways where he doesn't even need a nod from Congress. The funding mechanism for the new “Consumer Protection Agency” and the student loan refinance programs are examples. Obama is spending money and obligating the Treasury without even a need to go near Congress.
