boehner 'warned' the President. fuck you johnny boy

[spanone]

fuck this asshole

his response to President Obama's immigration speech.

the speaker wanted bipartisan work on the immigration bill.....total bullshit.

[madokie]

1. Drunk asshole

even makes it worse
Fuck him and the empty bottle he floated in on

[mopinko]

11. what he said^^^^^

[kelliekat44]

25. Warned the President...promised anarchy...promised not to pass anything except repeal of the ACA...

yes. Defiance of legal authority...this is the GOP.

[shenmue]

26. I have never understood a single word Rep. Boehner said

"Glerble glergle arrh blergle gerg."

That's what people sound like on "Cops," before they get put in cuffs.

[madashelltoo]

34. Who better to lead crazy than drunk?

Every time I hear Boner I think about the drunk comedian who used to be on TV years ago.

[VanillaRhapsody]

2. Obama says...

[msanthrope]

3. I warned ja' .....

http://m.

[nolabear]

4. As always, all pomp and no circumstance.

You'd think people would be onto this by now, but I guess not.

[longship]

20. Self inflicted pompous circumcision!

[George II]

28. Hah....good one...."pompous, circumcized boner"!

[longship]

31. Thanks, mate. nt

[C_U_L8R]

5. Boehner is irrelevant

His entire career is a non-accomplishment.
He has done nothing except play golf, work on his fake tan
and ensure government doesn't work for anyone.
John Boehner will be forgotten the moment he leaves office
(which can't come too soon). A truly unremarkable man.

[staggerleem]

36. NOT TRUE!

You're forgetting the heroic moment in young Representative Boehner's first term, when he stood on the House floor passing out checks from the Tobacco lobby! Now THERE'S "Republican Democracy" in action!

[el_bryanto]

6. That is pretty deceitful on Boehners part

I have to admit I feel a bit sorry for Boenher sometimes - caught between wanting to be a reasonable Republican politician and a tea-party contingent that has a lot of power and sees any compromise or even discussion as treason.

But then he does something like this and I remember what a jerkass he is.

Bryant

[Ineeda]

10. In a way, he's their 'boss'

and needs to act like it (if he's truly 'caught between'.) He wields his power against Dems and the president, but his power should be pointed in the other direction if he truly wants legitimate House functionality. But we know he doesn't want that. It would be actual work - hard work - to reign in the teabaggers*!

*NOTE: we should continue to call them Teabaggers, not Tea-partiers, because they HATE that!!!
JMHO

[jillan]

7. Who the fuck does he think he is? Obama is the President elected by the American people,

Boner was elected by his co-workers.

What part of that does that arrogant asshole not understand?

[flamingdem]

8. Boner is an angry drunk

not a funny drunk.

[Cha]

9. Yeah, boner warned him .. not to play with

Matches.



Go home, boner.. you're drunk.

[annominous]

12. Bipartisanship? Like Boner wielding the so called Hastert Rule?

Speaker Boner, show me where the Hastert Rule is established in our Constitution, then we can discuss your definition of bipartisanship ...

[malaise]

13. ReTHUGs actually believe that they own America

and the African-American President has no power. They will learn.

Bring it on Orange man!
I'm so glad Obama did this so soon after the elections.

[turbinetree]

14. Breakfast

Remember when this jerk off was at a Washington breakfast establishment a year ago and he didn't have a god damn drink in his hand yet, this little jerk was confronted by immigrants to ask him a simple little question, and then he pooh poohed them off and said that he was still trying to work on a measure to help them out, when everyone knew that he had the Senate 68- 31Passed Immigration bill sitting in his god damn office, probably in the waste basket, well guess what maybe its time for this jerk to be confronted again to remind him that not only is he a drunk but a LIAR and that he should be IMPEACHED and recalled.
Because if he is challenged before he gets his drink I can bet you a dollar that he will not come out unto the streets again, because since the corporate media has failed in there job, then it needs to be highlighted everyday by having someone sit next to him just as a reminder that he is a right wing hypocrite and a LIAR.
Enough is Enough

[staggerleem]

38. Last night ...

... the President made it VERY plain that these Executive Actions were NOT his preferred path to reform. He also told Congress, in no uncertain terms, that if they object to what he's done, there is a VERY simple course of action they can take to correct the situation.

Bring the damned Senate bill to the House floor. Debate it. Amend it if you feel it's necessary to do so. Then VOTE on it, and send it back to the Senate, if necessary. But don't just sit there with a bill on your desk that you REFUSE to move, and call the President names!

A final point he made is that if there's anything here that approaches the "amnesty" the RepublicOns keep talking about, it's THE CURRENT SYSTEM, where we do NOTHING, and the undocumented folks just stay here, in the shadows.

It was a very well-crafted speech. If you haven't seen it, you should. When you hear the case he presents, you'll have to wonder how anyone with as much as half a functioning brain could oppose it.

Oh ... wait ... were talking about John Boehner - not about "anyone with as much as half a functioning brain".

[Thinkingabout]

15. He who sits on bills for a year and half is warning who?

I hear BS chatter about how poorly Reid runs the Senate, Boenher has not gotten a handle on the Republican members of the House, he isn't capable of bringing a bill to the floor and results in bills not getting voted on. I am surprised he had time to complain about Obama.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Just got a NYT banner that Cheeto just filed suit

for the ACA... That's his way of coming out blazing but in NFL lingo, he just commited an offside.

17. Send this to the orange drunk

Ronald Reagan
Statement on United States Immigration and Refugee Policy
July 30, 1981


Our nation is a nation of immigrants. More than any other country, our strength comes from our own immigrant heritage and our capacity to welcome those from other lands. No free and prosperous nation can by itself accommodate all those who seek a better life or flee persecution. We must share this responsibility with other countries.

The bipartisan select commission which reported this spring concluded that the Cuban influx to Florida made the United States sharply aware of the need for more effective immigration policies and the need for legislation to support those policies.

For these reasons, I asked the Attorney General last March to chair a Task Force on Immigration and Refugee Policy. We discussed the matter when President Lopez Portillo visited me last month, and we have carefully considered the views of our Mexican friends. In addition, the Attorney General has consulted with those concerned in Congress and in affected States and localities and with interested members of the public.

The Attorney General is undertaking administrative actions and submitting to Congress, on behalf of the administration, a legislative package, based on eight principles. These principles are designed to preserve our tradition of accepting foreigners to our shores, but to accept them in a controlled and orderly fashion:

• We shall continue America's tradition as a land that welcomes peoples from other countries. We shall also, with other countries, continue to share in the responsibility of welcoming and resettling those who flee oppression.

• At the same time, we must ensure adequate legal authority to establish control over immigration: to enable us, when sudden influxes of foreigners occur, to decide to whom we grant the status of refugee or asylee; to improve our border control; to expedite (consistent with fair procedures and our Constitution) return of those coming here illegally; to strengthen enforcement of our fair labor standards and laws; and to penalize those who would knowingly encourage violation of our laws. The steps we take to further these objectives, however, must also be consistent with our values of individual privacy and freedom.

• We have a special relationship with our closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico. Our immigration policy should reflect this relationship.

• We must also recognize that both the United States and Mexico have historically benefited from Mexicans obtaining employment in the United States. A number of our States have special labor needs, and we should take these into account.

• Illegal immigrants in considerable numbers have become productive members of our society and are a basic part of our work force. Those who have established equities in the United States should be recognized and accorded legal status. At the same time, in so doing, we must not encourage illegal immigration.

• We shall strive to distribute fairly, among the various localities of this country, the impacts of our national immigration and refugee policy, and we shall improve the capability of those agencies of the Federal Government which deal with these matters.

• We shall seek new ways to integrate refugees into our society without nurturing their dependence on welfare.

• Finally, we recognize that immigration and refugee problems require international solutions. We will seek greater international cooperation in the resettlement of refugees and, in the Caribbean Basin, international cooperation to assist accelerated economic development to reduce motivations for illegal immigration.

Immigration and refugee policy is an important part of our past and fundamental to our national interest. With the help of the Congress and the American people, we will work towards a new and realistic immigration policy, a policy that will be fair to our own citizens while it opens the door of opportunity for those who seek a new life in America.

[staggerleem]

39. "a nation of immigrants"

Obama used that VERY phrase at least 3 times last night.

Think about it - how many generations back down the family tree do YOU have to go before your ancestors came to the US. For most of us, I'll bet it's 2 or 3 generations, at most! My dad's father was born in Russia, and my mom's Grandma in Poland (funny story ... they both came from the SAME TOWN, Great-Grandma before WWI, Grandpa after).

[malaise]

41. Obama chose his words very carefully last night

and he's correct about a nation of immigrants.

[B Calm]

18. If he wanted bipartisan work on the immigration bill he would've put the senate bill

up for a vote in the house a long time ago. What a bald face lie!

[HappyMe]

19. The orange man has had

a bill for over a year. If he dumped scotch on it I'm sure somebody could have provided a clean copy long ago.

[Zambero]

21. Not only a lie, but a lame lie at that

The GOP strategy all along has been to deliberately let the problem fester, then reassign blame. Boehner has had a full year and a half to be bipartisan on immigration reform. The compromise bill passed 2-1 by the Senate was never allowed a vote on the floor of the House, and was shelved in favor of a "piecemeal" approach, but lest problems be addressed and positive results shown, even that has not been pursued. The current so-called Speaker of the House holds that title, but his performance or lack thereof reveals him to be a non-functional figurehead, intimidated and beholden by the more extreme members of his caucus.

[Moostache]

22. Didn't Obama warn John of Orange first?

I could swear that President Obama started talking about this executive action over a year ago...guess Boehner was being Boehner and not paying attention.

[jillan]

23. That point needs to be brought up by every single "journalist" every single day.

This was not a surprise.

[staggerleem]

40. Waitaminnit!

Do we still HAVE "journalists"?

[samsingh]

24. repugs lies - redundant

[Blue Owl]

27. Threat Level: Orange

32. Look out, Bonehead is gonna make good on his threat:

He's going to have done all the shit he's done already. Can't say he didn't warn us.......

[lpbk2713]

33. This slimy sleazebag is the worst political opportunist I've ever seen.

He clearly has no sense of shame. That must be why they like him so.

[ReRe]

35. Boner thinks he has more power than the President!

... fucking orange Ahole does NOT have more power than the President of the United States.

The man is a megalomaniac and needs some serious psychiatric evaluation. The 6-yr old assault upon PO by Mitch McTurtle and the orange man is so predictable, isn't it?
It's the worst Congress in the history of the USA!.

[malaise]

42. They actually believe that

They are going to show this N-word man who is boss (but only in their own minds).
The racist meme must be perpetuated -by any means necessary.

[ReRe]

43. Really!

... instead of continuing to deny that they are racist bigots, they have assured that there is no doubt in any sane persons mind that they are! And it's HISTORY! And they are proud of it! Ignorant, bigoted, hateful and proud.

If you ask me, ALL Republicans need a cranial check.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

37. "the speaker wanted bipartisan work on the immigration bill"

Oh yeah?

So why not pass the one he refuses to bring to the floor that already passed in the Senate with 17 Republican votes?

[Skittles]

44. their meaning of bipartisan is the REPUKE WAY

FUCK THEM ALL
