COLUMBUS, Ohio – House Republican leader John Boehner has used a vulgar expression to refer to Democrat Barack Obama and his voting record in the Illinois legislature.
While campaigning for Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Wednesday, Boehner told a small crowd at a bar in the college town of Oxford that failing to vote "yes" or "no" on an issue meant a lawmaker was a "chickens---."
The Ohio congressman said the last thing the country needs is to have a "chicken" in the White House.
Boehner spokesman Jessica Towhey confirmed the remarks on Saturday but said the congressman wasn't calling Obama the vulgar term. "The point that Boehner was making was that Barack Obama has consistently avoided making tough decisions and taking tough votes, and voters need to know that," she said.

I’m voting for the white guy.
I love that guy. Not Obama.... Boehner. LOL
well, it’s true. Obama is a chicken——
Pick a side. Grow a pair. Fish or cut bait. Poop or get off the pot...
Oh great. Now calling anyone chicken $#i+ will be considered racist. Can we maybe save a few expletive deleted’s for common usage without being accused of a hate crime?
According to these same people, who are so offended by Boehner's comment, accusing John McCain of running a "dishonorable" campaign is acceptable. Calling The One, The Moshiach, That One, a chickensh*t, OMG! A collective attack of the vapors.
true, true...
I have never seen a guy as talented at playing both sides of the fence. but a lot of that is the media covering for him too.
No, the key is to stop caring about such accusations. We have lost way too much ground over the years worrying about being labeled by these assholes.
This guy is building some serious respect from conservatives.
That's racist but so am I since all of the blacks are voting for the black guy!!!!!!
“The chickens have come home to roost......”
Ignorance is the most expensive commodity we pay for.
no that is not racist but if you say fried chicken s#it thats racist
Soon that will be enough to get you sent to the “Gulag” or “Re-education Camp”. I’m sure many of our fellow FReepers have said worse about the Messiah. I for one have said worse about him.
:)
Oh man this race just keeps getting more and more interesting.
God bless John Boehner.
