House Speaker John Boehner today dismissed President Obama’s idea to increase minimum wage to federal contract workers, declaring: “It will effect absolutely no one.”
An early look at the GOP’s response to the president’s plan to use more executive actions to bypass Congress was met by this blunt statement from Boehner, R-Ohio, over breakfast with network anchors and correspondents this morning .
The speaker said the president ignites the Congress and Constitution at his own political peril if he hopes to go it alone. “If he tries to ignore this, he’s going to run into a brick wall,” Boehner said. “We have a Constitution. We’re not going to sit here and let the president trample all over us.”

The House is getting burned by barbarians and he is talking tough about negociating the price of keeping vegetables with them.
Sounds to me like Obama is horse trading. “I won’t give federal contractors a raise in the minimum wage if you give me an extra trillion on the debt limit so I can give federal contractors a raise.”
Indeed. All this trading is really potemkin war. It really a rhetorical trap meant to politicize everything and to make Obama look good raising funds for his campaign.
It would be an improvement for them to sit there and let the president trample all over them. It's an improvement over all of the kneeling and bending over they have done so far. Heck, relatively speaking, sitting is almost standing compared to their current position.
All talk, no c*ck.
I don’t believe boner...he’s probably got him self all lubed-up. All that remains is the bend-over.
