Boehner plans to leave Washington amid "fiscal cliff" stalemate Reuters – 29 mins ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner plans to go home to Ohio on Friday, his office said, in a sign that there is no deal in sight to avert the looming "fiscal cliff."

Spokesman Michael Steel added, however, that should President Barack Obama decide he needs to talk or meet with Boehner again, "Ohio has both cell phone service and airports - so ... it won't be a problem."

Steel said Boehner - the top Republican in Congress - will likely return to Washington on Monday.....

Given that Bonehead Boehner is a dork.

However, at least he’s been in Washington lately...unlike the Dork-in-Chief, the Alien-in-Residence, the leader of the West Wing Clown Show of Felon/Cretins YOUR very own Obamadork.

Nice try, Yahoo, but it’s your guy that’s a complete piece of excrement - complete with flies (Pelosi & Reid) and the inevitable smell.

Yawn.

The article assures us he will be back on Monday...

To have a holiday beer with his puppet master and make excuses for caving.

... unless it’s time to play another round of golf, cry, or talk about a super-dooper “bi-partisan” committee to fix everything.

Boehner leaving Washington for the session is actually good news. Bad for the military, very bad. But raising taxes, stifling the economy, then spending more on unemployment and other necessary social safety net expenses, then needing to raise taxes again(those Dems)...turns into a cycle which will grind America down into what these socialist/communists want.

Perhaps only a world war,...much more so God, can shake us out of where we are headed.

This is not really news.

I would never wish this on anyone, but if he wants to, Boner has my permission to now go on a three week AWOL binge.

Heck I would buy the booze and provide the cheap hotel fare.

I am honestly puzzled.

It doesn’t matter where he goes this president isn’t budging so why sit around for him to make another bashing commercial on how the GOP is letting us go over the cliff. Pathetic. Half the country glorifies every word this president says so if he says the GOP won’t cooperate that’s what they will believe anyway. We’re in a pickle.

I have no problem with this.

He needs to have some photo-ops playing golf, like the Sodomite-in-Chief.

Show the press for hypocrites they are.

Obama typically leaves for Hawaii on December 23rd after Boner’s annual surrender.
