"SNIP..........................................

Because if there was a mandate in this election, it was a mandate to work together to do what’s in the best interest of our country. And right now what’s best is getting our economy moving again and keeping it moving, so we can begin to restore our children’s future."

1. What an a**! I hope Obama hits them with a two by four and marks

the public's brain with his awesome winingness by doing so.

[Webster Green]

2. Well, I totally agree with the statement in that snip.

So, at long last, it's about time for him to get with the program.

[Fridays Child]

3. He's simply trying to define the public's perception that no matter how...

...hard 'pukes try to work with our side, we remain intransigent.

[applegrove]

4. Yup.

[Angry Dragon]

5. look for cancerous cantor make a run for boner's job

[msongs]

6. Dems refuse to claim mandate so repubs rush in. some dems have learned nothing in 4 yrs nt

7. Who's this guy Boehner and who said he could talk?!

Sit down and shut the phuck up!

[DCKit]

8. He's a Republican. They hate children. nt

[Sunlei]

9. exactly one year ago it was Boehner who walked away/QUIT the same mandate!

[Coyotl]

10. Given the Dems won the popular vote in the House, the mandate is the Dem platform

and they know it!!

[Mr.Turnip]

11. If Boehner wasn't such a patheticly weak speaker I think some things could actually get done.

However Boehner over the last two years has shown no ability to keep his caucus in line, has allowed Cantor to gain too much power and generally has just sucked at his job of running the house republican caucus, if he could I have little doubt that Immigration reform at least would get done because he'd force those bastards to vote for it or suffer the consequences.

12. Conservatives all over the country are now screaming for Boehner's removal...

...from the Speaker's chair.

13. So Boehner, what date and time is the super secret meeting to plan your agenda.

Because we know you guys aren't going to wait until the evening of Inauguration Day this year to start scheming; too much to plan, so little time.

[bamacrat]

14. Boehner knows that this is a mandate...

The mandate being that if they continue to block and refuse to work with O then there will be huge insurmountable gains by Dems in the mid-terms and his ass may be out of a job.

15. Translation: Let's all work together to screw over seniors, the weak and vulnerable.

16. Letting tax cuts expire on the top 2% (or "raising taxes on ANYBODY") is "off the table." n/t
