“...“Clearly the president can’t be trusted,” said Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.)...”

Gee, we knew this six years ago....this is news???
Of course, while the House Republicans didn’t like Susan Collins’ Senate surrender to Obama — they can take solace, that Obama wouldn’t even accept it, and is looking for an even better deal — unconditional surrender...
Senate to try again to end fiscal crisis, after nixing Collins’ plan
“Reid rejected the plan — which calls for funding the government for six months and increasing the federal debt limit through January — purportedly, in part, because the spending level of $967 billion next year was too low, despite it providing more flexibility in administering the federal budget cuts under sequester.”
This is Kabuki on the part of GOP House leadership. They know damned well the Senate, GOP leadership there or not, coming up with a budget “deal” means frigging NOTHING if they HOUSE does not accede to it.
The House leadership is paving the way to blame their coming surrender on the Senate GOP. They are playing like they have no choice in a frigging vote.
We KNOW better BOEHNER! You’d better get your damned act together and stay the course. Keep the government shut down and forget about your barber shop, gym, special catered lattes, etc. You spineless son of a bitch!
Boehner never had any intention sticking to the obamacare defund/delay game plan.
As soon as Reid tabled the House bills the RNC and NRSC should have carpet bombed all the vulnerable Senate Dems. Instead McConnell took a powder and now we are where we are.
It seems the Boehner/Cantor plan was to surrender last week but the kenyan wouldn’t accepted it. LOL. I can’t say I feel sorry for the beltway GOP leadership now. They deserve every bit of scorn they are getting.
Obama is using Clinton’s playbook from 1995. Senate Republicans are using Dole’s playbook from 1995, too. Go along with the firebrands in the House for a while, then tell the kids “enough is enough” in a condescending way, and cut a deal with the White House. Last time, Gingrich went along after Dole cut him off at the knees. This time, Boehner would like to do the same, but my hope is that his caucus won’t let him. People like Gohmert speaking out and throwing light on what is going on keeps them from caving. HOLD THE LINE.
Obama is clearly in this for all the marbles. I hope the GOP in the senate has figured that out by now.
“Clearly the president can’t be trusted,” said Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.). “It is up to Senate Republicans to grow a backbone and stand with House Republicans like they said they were going to do.”
Duh, ya think? (’specially the part about Obama CAN’T BE TRUSTED.)
The Republicans in the House just have to remember that no deal can be done without them — just sit back and wait for them to come to them.
Democrats are communists in the Senate. And many of the Senate Republicans are communists also. Look up the definition of communists. They are hard core socialists
“Clearly the president can’t be trusted,”
Stuned silence . . .
Calling Captain Obvious. Calling Captain Obvious.....
Naive, incompetent, or just a bunch of empty suits? take your pick.
the GoP leadership has been punked so many times , they have lost sight of their own inherent powers.. and are likely to surrender them,.. again.
Rep. Schock shouldn’t be too shocked. If he actually thought that this pResident was in any 2ay trustworthy, then I would advise him to wake up and smell the coffee.
