This is encouraging. On this week’s Meet the Press, Speaker of the House John Boehner was asked if he had turned his back on negotiating bipartisan compromises with President Obama. He replied, “I never give up, and I’ll never give up on this president and this process to try to help do what the American people sent us here to do.” He added:
We have honest differences with the president, and he knows it. And the fact is that I have worked all year is to take those difference and set them aside, and to find enough common ground to help our economy and help Americans get back to work…Our job, his job and my job, is to find enough common ground to do the right thing for the country every day.
Does the Speaker believe the Tea Party elected Republicans in the greatest wave election in a generation to “set aside” his differences with Obama and find “common ground”? Does he believe a policy somewhere between his and Obama’s would “help our economy”?
That may explain why Boehner blinked on the debt ceiling, giving us the failed Super Committee; why he did nothing to stop the president’s illegal Libyan war; why he goes for golfing photo-ops with the president instead of holding this administration responsible for its various derelictions of duty and assorted sundry misdeeds.
What can we expect when “our” opposition leader sounds like this guy?

He is SO full of crap his tears stink like unowat.
Boehner is absolutely nuts! Compromise is one thing, but his behavior of crawling across the carpet/golf links to Obama is the pits. Boehner needs to grow some @&*#^ in a hurry!
Boehner – you have shown your true colors when it comes to IMPEACHING the crook in the WH when you made the dumb statement, "I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON OBAMA". Well my friend, you have made a hard decision I have been wrestling with about you, and with this dumb ass statement – 2012 will not be kind to you, but yu have been in DC long enough, got a lot money from insider trading, a lucrative pension, etc., and you will probably give us another crying session before you depart with all your goodies.
Boehner is a RINO, and a traitor to the American people, and only idiots and cowards elected this garbage into the position as Speaker of the House. If only voters had the good sense to send the traitors home for execution, then I would be proud of my fellow voters. Won't happen, for Americans have more ignorant with each generation. Of course right now, only the young voters are showing signs of being awake.
The mole in the White House is so fortunate to have a herd of RINOs in Congress and Bonkers Boehner, the blubbering old sot, leading them 'round the bend.
"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no
distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
Mark Twain, 1897
He will never give up on Obama? When did he ever begin to go after him? I have emailed this wimp many times to tell him to get off his duff and do what he was elected to do! What a joke he is and he is one I hope will lose in 2012 along with all the RINOS and LIBS!
When any Congress person can just leave and go campaigning around the country and when any Senator, can just vote, "PRESENT", and when any President, can go on a vacation, any time he wants to, many times a year, do we really need them to be in Washington D.C., 24-7….
Does any body have the statistics on how much is spent by the United States of America, when Congress is in session, compared to when they are shut down ????
What do you think people ???
