Boehner: Obama doesn't have 'the guts' to tackle deficit
Fox News ^ | Feb 12, 2013 | Bret Baier

House Speaker John Boehner, in advance of President Obama's State of the Union address, said Tuesday that he doesn't think the president "has the guts" to seriously address the country's debt and deficit.

The speaker aired his concerns during a breakfast outside his office on Capitol Hill with anchors and reporters covering Obama's address Tuesday night.

He said he's pessimistic about the odds the president will tackle the country's long-term spending problem, which he sees as the biggest threat to America's future.

"I don't think he has the guts to do it. He doesn't have the courage to take on the liberal side of his own party -- never has," Boehner said.

I think the Republicans are not going to break this time.No way the media will keep that in the news for 2 years.

Where's the sarc tag?

When it’s the other way around it’s “black calling the kettle pot.” So said Archie Bunker.

To Boehner:

Just stop it! Obama is a Bolshevik Communist that is determined to regulate, Control and DESTROY America. Deal with it!

Stop pretending that Obama is EVER going to “work with you.” Stop it!

Pass the House bills that need to be passed.

Hold weekely press conferences to accuse do-nothing Senator Reid of being a Communist Enabler to Communist Obama.

Criticize the Media for being Communist enablers to Communist Obama.

Let Obama veto anything he wants to.

And stop bawling like a baby RINO that causes all of us in Flyover Country to hurl!

BTW Boehner: Lead -— Follow -— or get the Hell out of the way!

We have lost all patience waiting for you to grow up!

Exactly right, but so damned depressing.

He doesn't have the courage to take on the liberal side of his own party -- never has," Boehner said.

How can Boehner be so Bonehead? He is utterly clueless. A real house leader would be able to read the tea leaves of Ø's true intent from looking, for example, at appointees like Hagel, SCOTUS, NLRB and on and on. Look at his support first for O'Dinga, then Zelaya of Honduras, PA, Iran, Mudslim Brudderhood, and on and on. Ø *****IS***** the Marxist side of the relatively one-sided 'Rat party. Period!.

“I would say If there is an increase in revenue you win. If there are only cuts in spending I win. If there are both, we both lose.”

In the end, America will lose.

LOL

Personally, I would prefer to make the donation to Wounded Warriors Foundation, but that’s just me!
