Obama to Boehner: 'I Will Use Inaugural Address, State of the Union to Blame GOP'

What I’m wondering is who is going to give the Republican response?

This is a sterling opportunity here if the right person does it. The person needs to be a solid, rock-ribbed conservative.

Maybe it should be Jim DeMint as he is on his way out the door anyway.

The person should be able to list all the proposals, studies, analyses that have been done (e.g. Simpson/Bowles) that Ears has rejected.

It’s time to call out Ears on what he has been doing, as Reagan said, in bold colors. There should be no mystery, no wiggle room, for Ears and his cohorts, Stretch and the Undertaker.

If Ears truly does this during the State of the Union speech, the entire Republican caucus should walk out.

I’m not kidding.

They could claim to have a concussion from playing golf, and having a tragic golfing accident.

[maine yankee]

I think that the every Republican should not show up, and claim they had a pressing golf game they had to attend...

DING DING DING

This should be the standard reply ANY TIME obama’s office calls

[Wildbill22]

“Ears”, “Stretch”, and “The Undertaker”.

I laughed out loud. That is great.

I know exactly who each refers to.
I am going to use it. We should all make it stick.

[mosaicwolf]

OK. Here we go Pubbies. 1.2.3 in unison at the State of the Union. LIER!

[FrdmLvr]

I would be happy if they would shout “You LIE!” at every lie he speaks. This, of course, would make it a very long night.

[tacticalogic]

He should simply turn off Barry’s microphone.

And point the cameras at the teleprompter.

[b4its2late]

He’s a community organizer. Never been anything more or anything less.

"With an attitude like that"

Lot's of funny stuff in response to this article, BUT, consider what would happen if

(a) We had a wimp as Speaker - Bozo would get what he wants and while ignoring the constitution he would destroy America financially

(b) We had a Democrat controlled House as well as a Senate - we would descend into a Dictatorship in 2 years flat. He would ask for powers to be granted and would seize other powers that he wanted without regard. The Left is 'Deceitful' and Authoritarian to the bone.

Poor old confused Mr. Boehner forgot one little thing. The King doesn't negotiate. He tells his subjects what to do or they suffer the consequences...

"Negotiations? We don't need no steenking negotiations!!"

[LibLieSlayer]

boehner has surrendered and he will make obama’s SOTU a platinum historic event. They will shower obama with rose petals paid for by the rnc... you have to realize that these are not republicans that control the gop... they are not gop/e... they are gop/D for dim!

It will probably be retired progressive gun grabbing kay baily hutchison who wants to ban all weapons... or maybe jim jeffords isn't busy.

The SOTU address is delivered in the House chamber. Boehner’s in charge there. He should simply turn off Barry’s microphone.

Even better, take the British example and when Barry arrives at the House chamber's doorway, slam the door in his face.

and the media continues to spew out it’s the TEA party and the right wing extremists fault.

[Bud Krieger]

The GOP house members should just yell, “ You lie “, after every sentence of his speech.

The answer to the demagogue must be based on careful analysis of our own opportunities to use coming events to hit back in the arena of public thinking. The time between now & Obama's major opportunities, should be employed in evaluating opportunities & constructing strategy. Conservatives must not assume that the public is too stupid to understand economic reality. There are plenty of "folksy," common sense, points that can be made, which will trigger levers of credibility in people's minds.

Traditional social values, including market economics, and the need to have local decisions on every local & immediate subject, not distant centralized bureaucratic decisions, govern. (It is also a lot cheaper to have welfare, education & medical care for those in genuine need, financed locally, rather than through incredibly wasteful bureaucracies. And most people can easily grasp that, if it is properly explained.)

We need to stop fearing a debate that we can win.

"With an attitude like that, Obie must have gotten his butt whupped a lot when he was a kid."

Au contraire, FRiend -- his is the attitude of a punk kid who didn't get dragged behind the gymnasium for a by-the-numbers butt-whupping nearly often enough.

Touche'. That's a better answer.

"You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."

Because I'm the Won....

[redgolum]

Boehner allowed himself to be played. He stayed true to the high earners, and screwed everyone in the process.

Just wait till he gets to 2nd amendment stuff.

[a fool in paradise]

At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?"

"You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."

This same POS was just as bis of an a$$hole when Bush was still President and the resident of the "newly created Office of the President Elect" demanded bailout money that he then blamed Bush for "spending".
