Is the Constitution not clear, Mr. Crybaby?
He’s gonna’ cave in, so why doesn’t Boner cut the crap and cave already. What a jerk! Are we supposed to be impressed by his pre-cave-in dance? Cave already . . . we know what you are, Boner!
It is clear that Obama does not respect Boehner and that Boehner has no idea what to do.
The best the Republicans could do for the American public, is to go home immediately. turn the lights out.
The problem is to stop the spending, not kill our own.
Bendover Boehner readies his jar of Vaseline.
IMO..
1) Walk away. Go over the false crisis called the “ciff.”
2) Bend Barry over hard on the debt ceiling.
Obama will cave. He can’t afford to have his 47% pay any taxes and he certainly can’t afford for anyone to find out we can in fact live if DC is shut down.
Call the bluff Boehner. You’re getting blamed no matter what happens. Make Obama bite the pillow.
Boehner’s problem is that he has been drawn into an asymmetrical battle.
He is debating parliamentary procedure with the President. This is a losing proposition from the start!
He needs to continuously call upon Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer for THEIR proposals and IGNORE President Nil!
Mitch McConnell should do the same for Harry Reid.
Put it on the table each and every day that we are beyond 4 years without Reid passing a budget.
Barry will jump, twitch and complain....but IGNORE him! Call upon the Democrat Legislators to get about the business of the budget....
Force President Nil to veto the result!
The propaganda blackguarding of the word “entitled”, “entitlement” is underway folks.
Bound, “free”, to earn, “labor”, camp, an income, “State Banking” “Insurance Fascist Riders”
What John Boehner should be doing now is preparing his response to Obama’s proposal, which will be made two days before he leaves for Hawaii, to extend the 2011 agreement beyond January 1st.
That will allow Obama to golf and swim and enjoy his favorite ice cream cones on his $4-million vacation without looking like he’s deserting America while it’s left to go over the fiscal cliff alone.
If John Boehner just says no to Obama without explaining to the public why kicking the can down the road another time would destroy investors’ confidence that America can ever be trusted again, he will look like Scrooge right in the middle of all the Christmas festivities.
So John had better start practicing a good speech. Otherwise, Obama will add another recreational activity to his repertoire in Hawaii - blaming the Republicans for pushing America over the cliff when he himself was perfectly willing to avoid it.

Why can’t the speaker come out with something along the lines of the following, said in a happy, friendly, but forceful manner? He would be able to sound “nice” but at the same time point out the extravagance of the President’s trip, would be able to suggest that the President is being grumpy and petulant, but said in a very benign way.
He would be able to convey the phoniness of all of this running around screaming about doom and cliffs. He would have an ear to the points that Democrats didn’t pass a budget when they could. Here is what I would like to hear in a press conference from the Speaker of the House:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
There is not an emergency. This country has gone four years without a budget and we are still all walking around. If this were an emergency today, it would have been an emergency two months ago, yet it was barely brought up in the election cycle, certainly not as an emergency. When the President sent his budget, Democrats voted against it. When the Democrats held both houses and the Presidency they did not pass a budget.
The President has just been through a long and grueling campaign season which can wear on anybody’s nerves. He is about to take a (put in dollar amount and time period) vacation over Christmas, a generous gift from American taxpayers. We wish him a restful and revitalizing period of time with his lovely wife and beautiful daughters, after which he may return in January refreshed and renewed. At that time we may all feel more inclined to reasonableness. Until then, we, the Congress plan to pass yet another continuance and then we will go home and celebrate the holy days with our families and friends, to come back in a better frame of mind after the first of the year. Merry Christmas to the press corps and American people. See you in 2013. (no questions....he walks off).
