Boehner: "This is Not About You Mr. President"

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) stated the following after a meeting of bicameral GOP leadership:

"The President's latest ploy as he's dealing with Members trying to convince them to vote against their constituents and to vote with him, is to make the point that his presidency is on the line. Well, I'm sorry Mr. President, this isn't about you. It's not about the office you hold and it's not about the Speaker. This is about the American people and the health care system that they want for our country."

If it were up to me the american government would be able to take away every single penny from ass wholes like john Boehner and his republican tea party members and the Gop and give it to the people maybe then we can get out of this recession, by taking back the presoues tax payer money he so gladly accepts wall he sites in his seat in congress and literally gets paid to sit on his ass disagree with obama and do nothing, God people like him should be in Guantanamo.

@sweethonesty520 Well said ,Now if you want real change wait til the election and dump any incumbent in office.President , Senator.congress house members.Send the message loud and clear "you work for the all of the people,not just the lobbyist and the rich. If not folks its all over except the crying.!

[sweethonesty520]

WAKE UP AMERICA ,wake up to this new day in America. A day when democrats act like Republicans and republicans act like Democrats . Now both parties will tell you what you want to hear . Knowing what ever they promise will be soon forgotten once they get in office .And the Tea party has sided with the republicans in the recent budget battle and they both won . Any budget cutting will happen to social programs No new taxes for the rich ." The truth will stand when the world is on fire ! ! !

Yeah we gotta stick with boehner and help protect them wealthy folk and bust more o' them there union folk.Then we can go after them old folk and shut off their damn social security checks so they dry up and die, Just think if they die it'll be a win win.we can grind em up and use em for fertilizer.Then we'll have saved so much money that we can pay for Boehners tanning sessions and keep him supplied in high quality gin. Let's go get em boys.

@danosamo1424-"Drunk black thugs"? Because the John Q. Public, the American people, those 64 million that put Obama in office, were drunk black thugs? Mate, I'm a fuckin Republican, I've had to wade through this President's shit for a few years now. But you need to re-evaluate mister. You may not like it but Barack Hussein Obama is still President. And if you're a patriot you will call him Mr. President as George Bush is President Bush. Stop being a poofta and get your head straight you RINO.
