Boehner just handed the Democrats victory in November.
BINGO!
I agree with you! Boehner's comment will be used to scare voters who have paid into social security for decades whose jobs are dicey or who have already been laid off or terminated (most without pensions and who have very limited savings to fall back upon).
The reality is that democrats are the ones who have all along blown social security funds to smithereens but will use Boehner's words to blame republicans for the suggestion to take their desperately needed (and long paid into) social security income away from them.
The times we're in (it's way past time Obama got the blame for spending money on porkulus- killing the economy - and jobs that never materialized) and Boehner's "timing" are both bad.
