Yesterday, I wrote about how President Obama is surging in the latest PPP poll (favorability rating up 11 points, job approval rating up 6 points) and how the Republicans are completely tanking (down 15 points.) This, right here, is the major reason why: That’s the front page of The Cinncinnati Enquirer this morning with the blaring headline: “GOP kills jobs […]

You know how bald long-haired hippy freak Democrats like me are always saying, “Republicans would vote against their own mother if they thought President Obama was for her”? Rachel Maddow has gleefully gone after the GOP for changing their position as soon as the president voices support. Even President Obama himself talks about it. Well, today, Speaker John Boehner confirmed […]

Um, Speaker Boehner? Sir? About that press conference of yours last night? I’d like to correct a few misstatements lies, if you don’t mind. These are difficult times in the life of our nation. Millions are looking for work, have been for some time, and the spending binge going on in Washington is a big part of the reason why. […]

With Mitch McConnell’s declaration earlier this year that his main political goal is ensuring that Barack Obama is a one-term president, everything else that has happened since makes sense. But there’s something that happened in the negotiations between the White House, Congressional Democrats and Congressional Republicans that tells you, beyond a doubt and without any room for argument, that the […]

At some point yesterday afternoon, a legislative aide leaked that the White House was caving — CAVING I tellzya! — and was going to give up everything to the Republicans on raising of the debt ceiling. According to this very serious source, the deal between House Speaker Boehner and President Obama was all but a done deal. A Congressional aide […]

Since everybody knows Congress has to raise the debt ceiling soon (as opposed to the United States of America defaulting on its loans and creating global economic chaos unseen in history), this is pretty laughable: NEW YORK — House Speaker John A. Boehner defined the GOP’s terms for raising the legal limit on government borrowing Monday, demanding that President Obama […]

The Maddow Blog has a great juxtaposition of the steady increase in the number of private sector jobs since Barack Obama took office and John Boehner’s monthly statement about how bad things are. It’s pretty clear that Boehner has basically written the entire year’s worth of statements already because they all sound the same and sound as lame. They are […]

Oh, whatever. Cry me a damn river. John Boehner has a sad because the President “disrespected” him. We met at the Capitol the day after the president announced the new tax deal. When Stahl asked him about the president, he dwelt on their differences. Lesley Stahl: What do you think of him? Rep. John Boehner: I think he’s engaging. Certainly […]

Via Think Progress. Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, John Boehner showed his contempt for the American electorate by suggesting that they are not ready for solutions to the large issues affecting this country. Host Chris Wallace asked him directly why there are no references at all to solving the big issues of entitlements in the USA which account for upwards […]
