Boehner “I would hope that my friends on the left would listen to the American people and sit down and have serious discussions on ending this.

Quit lying Boner.

You and everyone else knows, they are NOT your "friends".

Truer words were never spoken. The Repukelicans need to start wearing little labels about the size of business cards that say “Media Target” for those not regularly called for interviews and “Media Victim” for those who are. When asked what they mean, simply say the Socialist Progressive Democrat members of the media will either distort or misconstrue any comments made by any conservative.

Yes, the would be be king is a petulant, narcissistic, egomaniac. He cannot lead anything except community organizing. That is all he does is campaign, campaign, campaign. think about it this way: community organizing is gathering a group of people, convincing them that they have a problem or have been discriminated against, and the organizer has the remedy if they will just follow him. So it's a lot like campaigning for office. Hey it worked for Hitler, what not Obamalamadingdong?

[cashless]

you forgot to mention that he will fold as fast was a worn out lawn chair and will cry about it at the same time. There has never been a WORSE, MORE PATHETIC, House Speaker than John BooHoo Boehner. I hope he is on the list to be primaried against by FreedomWorks.

That's why they are trying to do away with the Individual MANDATE, at least for one year!!

Democrats want COMPLETE CONTROL OVER US!!

[Ann Archy]

REID is a NASTY, EVIL, VILE Little man-girl......Behner MUST stand firm because the TIDE WILL TURN AGAINST THE DEMS!! THIS time it’s DIFFERENT!!

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!!! If OBAMACARE is SO great, they should BE UNDER IT just like us PEONS!!

[Ann Archy]

Yes, but WE CALLED our REPS., and they LISTENED to US instead of the MEDIA!!

KEEP CALLING...ENCOURAGE THEM....CALL THEIR LOCAL OFFICES!!!

[surrey]

I still want an answer. Let them tell the peons that they’re so wealthy that they don’t need it.

The GOP really needs to stand pat on this one - Obama is going to completely freak out.

exactly. Obama is used to dealing with Republi-caves, rolling over every time he makes a demand and refuses to budge. Any other response will have him floundering for a strategy he doesn't have. The perfect strategy for the republican is to refuse to budge and watch Obama lose it. And people will gain enormous respect for them again.

Another case of ‘The Obama Games”.

Obama provides the site.

Obama provides the tables & chairs.

Obama provides the refreshments.

Obama provides the cards.

Obama names the game.

Obama sets the rules.

Obama CHANGES the RULES when he wishes.

ONLY OBAMA WINS....

Except maybe not THIS time.

"This is the law of the land, passed by both Houses and signed by the President. Republicans need to get over that."

OK, then, if it's the law of the land, EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY should be put into Obamacare, including Ferdinand and Imelda Obama and the "royal" daughters, Congeress, union members, all Obama/congressional cronies. NO EXCEPTIONS!

That which one Congress does, does not encumber the next.
