They definitely need to send Reid the “Kids With Cancer” bill tonight.

Obama’s O looks pretty shaky there....

After nearly 5 years on the job, Sobber of the House Boehner still hasn’t figured out that Reid and Obama are permanently emotionally stunted at the 2 to 4 year old, temper tantrum level.

It makes me feel a little dirty to defend Boehner, but he became speaker in January of 2011, so he is in his third year on the job. The strategy in 2011 and 2012 was to win the presidency and hopefully the senate and then repeal Obamacare. So to be fair, the shutdown or defund strategy only became the last resort option this year, and he actually has gone through with it.

“The GOP stratgey is to fund in pieces. Note that funding DC is the second on the list. They’re debating the fourth item in the House now. They may not get Barry to veto but they will hang Harry Reid with being the ogre for blocking these in the Senate, esp. after his kids with cancer gaffe today.”
