John Boehner Should Just Get Out Of Obama's Way

Republicans in Congress should politely step aside and allow Obama to finish what he started. In so doing, they will inoculate themselves against any ensuing liability as well as avoid becoming the object of Obama's notorious blame game.

I agree with this strategy. Don't vote No, use Obama's trick and just vote Present. The Dems can't say Republicans voted against Obama's agenda - they just didn't vote for it. Let the Dems know that it's all on them. The Dems will be begging the Republicans to vote yea or nay, but they need to stay strong and just say, "Nope! We want no part of it."

The GOP will get blamed for everything anyway, so what’s the point?

If they were smart, (yeah, yeah, I know) they’d be in front of the TV camera every week w/ “Where’s the budget”, “This weeks unemployment figures”, “Household income is down..”

Lay the flaming pile of dog-squeeze @ 1600 P. Ave.

Republicans are getting so set up. They are going to get tax increases and a bad ecomony hanged around their necks.

They will also get amnesty hanged around their necks.

When people see how bad it is, dems will claim, “hey, they voted for it”!

I say when it comes up for a vote, Republicans should just walk out en masse, hey Rats, you own it now.

“Present” votes would be a jab at 0bama.

You are right. This would be the only way to do it.
