John Boehner calls Obama a chicken shit....

[cynatnite]

"Now, listen, I've voted 'present' two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn't feel like I should vote," Boehner said. "In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chicken sh!t. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."

Obama voted "present" 129 times, 3 percent of the roughly 4,000 times he voted during his 8 years in the Illinois legislature, according to factcheck.org

on edit: In Boehner's defense he was at a bar and grill so it's possible he might've been drunk at the time. :evilgrin: :sarcasm:

3. Yes Senator Obama taking on the political establishment of both the Democratic Party

and the Republican Party was such an act. And he had so many advantages, name, title, family and generations of wealth.


Well you are all about to be spanked very very hard.


Just think Mr Boehner you and your pea size brain will soon have to process:


"President Elect Obama will see you now".

4. Stupid argument

It may sound nuanced, but there's times when the 'present' vote makes a statement. You may know a measure is going to pass easily, so you want it on record that you disagree with a particular element of a bill, but don't want it to seem like you are against the bill entirely. You could argue easily that its the chicken way out and just throw your name in the 'yes' column, because it's not controversial to just agree with everyone else.

Politics is a tricky game. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
