Boehner Says Obama's Plan to Go Around Congress Leads to a "Brick Wall"
ABC ^ | 1/28/14 | Jeff Zeleny

Posted on 01/28/2014 6:42:13 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

House Speaker John Boehner today dismissed President Obama’s idea to increase minimum wage to federal contract workers, declaring: “It will effect absolutely no one.”

An early look at the GOP’s response to the president’s plan to use more executive actions to bypass Congress was met by this blunt statement from Boehner, R-Ohio, over breakfast with network anchors and correspondents this morning .

The speaker said the president ignites the Congress and Constitution at his own political peril if he hopes to go it alone. “If he tries to ignore this, he’s going to run into a brick wall,” Boehner said.  “We have a Constitution. We’re not going to sit here and let the president trample all over us.”

Boehner's brick wall isn't strong enough to stop a anthropomorphic giant glass pitcher, much less a committed Marxist.

No, you're going to be kneeling at his feet instead.

Boehner’s response should have included the words, “...and articles of impeachment are being written...”

Hey boner, you should have insisted he obey the Constitution several years ago. Too little, too late.

Boehner is dead right about this one. Obama has fallen from “stemming the rise of the oceans” to Tweeting pictures of his pen. Pride cometh before the fall. We have seen the pride, we are now seeing the fall.

"I presume these journalists meant to use the word “affect”."

After 50 years of editing (technical) reports, I have finally fallen on a simple rule for differentiating between "effect" and "affect": Never use the word "affect". Because of this simple rule, I have been right far more times than I have been wrong.

Maybe the journalists follow the same rule.

Whatever, I hope he’s right, but they’ve let him do it so far, why should he think they will stop him now?

Obama may have a pen - but so does Congress if they ever grew a set of testicles. And they should use THEIR pen - to draft articles of impeachement for after the mid-terms.

Boehner is a “brick wall” himself of OH-style socialism.

People in OH have been abject political failures since Robert Taft, Sr. died. And even ol’ Bob was known to stray to the left a few times.

“We have a Constitution. We’re not going to sit here and let the president trample all over us.”

Well, that would be switch. When does he expect to begin growing a backbone?

Boehner posing or does he mean what he says?

He means to pose. He's not going to do anything, he's already proven that. None of them are.
