I know he was fired up tonight but there’s something about Boehner that I just don’t like. He always looks like he just came back from a 4 martini lunch or something.

I can think of others I’d rather see in his position rather than him (Pence, Bachman, etc).

Hmmmm .. that sounded pretty close to the first line of my letter to Boehner and some of the others in the GOP.

So .. I guess the next question is: What’s it going to be America .. Liberty or Tyranny ..??

His “WE” refered to the collective members of House of Reps - he was not refering to the American people

Well .. being a consumer of radio voices .. and I mean that I am intrigued by special voices that seem to have more command than others.

That is Boehner personified. When he speaks .. people pay attention. I think he will make a perfect Speaker - because now he understands that we are going to make him accountable to do things the American people want .. and not what the politicians want.

Personally, I think he is cool. For some reason he reminds me of Dean Martin. That laid back style and voice, tan. And smoking, ha.
I am old enough to remember Dean Martin well. Am 70+

It seemed obvious from my recliner that the GOP leadership - doesn’t know how to lead. (And I’m a lousy armchair quarterback, too). But when you are in the minority with the odds stacked against you and you are the visiting team, then teamwork is paramount. There were too many GOP ‘speeches’ that repeated themselves, wasted precious time, and provided rah-rah instead of facts that raised doubts in the opposition.

Instead of being dogmatic partisan, they could have won the hearts of the tea partiers by complimenting the good parts of the bill and emphasizing how their amendments would make it better, explain the amendment, and put the Dems on the defensive for denying the amendment. Assign the speakers to take a different amendment each, and throw real facts out.

For example, the $500B taken from Medicare - under which assumption was it made to have the CBO figures come up the way they did? Since the money was counted twice, why wasn’t the alternative application of the funds applied and the CBO figures modified accordingly? Of course the point of holding information until the last minute by the Dems was aimed to overwhelm the CBO so such alternatives wouldn’t be available, so why wasn’t it outsourced to a neutral analysis body - say the Canadian chancellery, for example?

And I’ll close with this weird thought. If Obama signs the executive order revoking abortion funds, and since he has declared himself inactive as an attorney, would he be culpable of practicing law without a license?

You need to contact a Republican Congressional leader and let them know you are available as a consultant/speechwriter!
