Levin speaks truth to power.
We need Mark to run for office!
Levin is one of the few radio hosts worth listening to. It’s funny, I recall him being far more annoying and simplistic in the past, but over the past year, he has really grown on me. He’s principled as they come and has some very old but very (lately) original ideas.
Right on Mark!
Can I be on your ping list? Pretty please?
That is a resolution, not a law, so it’s like a “sense of the senate” which also means nothing. They would need to start impeachment procedures if they go that direction.
They could also not pass ANY spending measures Hussein wants to accomplish related to an executive order. So far, they are not withholding money from the dictator in the White House. Any measure he tried to start, he would need money. If the house wouldn’t give it to him, he would be stopped.
We have a speaker who has battle fatigue and doesn’t have the fortitude to stop Hussein’s spending.
If, however, when Obama wants money to fund an action he caused to happen by an executive order, the House voted not to fund it, that is law and Hussein is shut down on that measure. That action of the House has meaning and is law in that case.
Your post made me laugh, calling out Boehner as battle fatigued is a riot! I must have missed when he suited up for battle.
My sense is that this is rallying call so to say. We all know the weak gop is not going to even attempt to impeach this imperial acting fraud, lets at least start to make some freaking noise.
“Your post made me laugh, calling out Boehner as battle fatigued is a riot!”
I should have explained more. His battle fatigue is self imposed as he can’t handle the stress of the job - it’s one problem after another and he doesn’t know which way to jump so he has self imposed battle fatigue - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is what we call it today but his stress disorder doesn’t stop, so he is ineffective. Hence, battle fatigued. :o)
yes. articles of impeachment yes.
would have some impact, at least force Harry Reid and Company to act one way or the other.
the proposed resolution of disapproval or whatever, would seem to have no teeth or impact at all, however
understood. just frustrated here is all.
it would be a tempest in a teapot, signifying almost nothing.
if the Bard will forgive me

My take on Boehner is:
1) He has no guiding principles. When you don’t know where you are going (or need to go) any road will take you there.
2) He is inherently not a fighter. It isn’t in his DNA. He is the type of individual who will avoid unpleasant confrontation no matter what to the point he’ll walk away or cave to avoid direct engagement.
3) He has no passion.
4) His is in the comfort zone. He paid his dues climbing he party ladder and is now in a position where he intends to enjoy the perks of his lofty perch. Having an expensive dinner and cigars with his Chamber of Commerce buddies and benefactors is much more enjoyable than duking it out with the President. He’s in a safe seat so the only thing preventing him from fully enjoying his lofty position is the noise from the pesky tea party.
5) He, like many others in Washington, may not have a soul and if so does not know God or aspire to be a virtuous man. This point is related to #1.
I don’t believe Boehner is fatigued. He is at the pinnacle of his profession (politics). He is annoyed by the pesky tea party whose demands and influence distracts him from playing the game the way he wants. What looks like fatigue may actually be outward signs of boredom.
It is very much a crisis. And this dude has no bones about telling congress that he will act on his own. Impeachment instead of resolution.
Yep.
We are going to have to reign these bastards in.
We created them. The duty is ours.
Thank you. I'm bookmarking for later.
You’re right. Nothing against Rush, but for me, Mark is head and shoulders above the other talkers.
Rein, not reign.
