“Why hasn’t Waldo Boehener had a press conference?”

Because Boehner answers only to NeoCons

The Rise of the Neoconservatives

Mises Daily: Friday, March 02, 2012 by David Gordon

Mises Academy: David Gordon teaches The Betrayal of the American Right and the Rise of the Neoconservatives

President Obama is without question a warmonger, but except for Ron Paul, his conservative Republican opponents attack him for not being enough of a warmonger. We need to start a new war now, they say. We must immediately destroy the Iranian “nuclear program,” though exactly why Iran poses a threat to the United States they don’t bother to explain. Iran is just one example: we also have to wage a worldwide crusade against “militant Islam.” In the Republican debates, Gingrich and Santorum told off Ron Paul. He doesn’t want to kill people on useless crusades. To them, this makes Dr. Paul unpatriotic.

Things weren’t always like this. In the years before World War II, American conservatives opposed global crusading. The Old Right opposed the New Deal and favored the traditional American policy of not getting involved in foreign wars....

Right. Doodledog says the constitution requires The President to call a
special session?

The constitution does not restrict Waldo Boehner from conducting a press
conference and demanding a vote in the house.

So where in the World is Waldo Boehner?
Is he drinking? Is he playing golf with Obama? Is he crying? Is he at a tanning salon. Americans want to know.

Yeah and we ended up with Pearl Harbor and having to go in anyway. Millions of lives would’ve been saved if we were just a bit more proactive instead of waiting for the world to end before finally doing something.
