The PEOPLE have spoken Mr. Speaker, you just refuse to listen. We are tired of your recipe for failure. Lies an deceptions to protect the folks you receive your white envelopes from has ended. We the people have witnessed the emperor, and he has pimples on his ass. The increase is all on you sir. You can fool some of the people......,,

Boehner should learn how to stand up to his own damn members before lecturing Obama. This is classic GOP stupidity. Make shit up about the other party and hope it deflects attention away from your own lies, incompetence and corruption. Same old stale tactics from a decade ago. And they wonder why they're drifting towards irrelevance as a national party.

Obama isn't completely our bitch yet. We are disappointed that we've only made him reverse some of his promises, like cutting social security, something that isn't even an expense, and is peoples money they earned and forcibly placed aside for retirement, we've only made him cut that, imagine what he is capale of once he starts obeying like a good bitch

please republicans are wasting time and playing with peoples lives and want to cut aid to the poorest americans and give tax breaks to the rich buddies who fund them during elections like koch brothers did for mitt romney

"Actually," no. "The Cliff" was scheduled a year a half ago to occur after the election regardless of who got elected."

Who "scheduled" the cliff in the first place? Was it not Boehner and the Tea Party Republicans? I suggest you go back and research the entire debt ceiling debacle along with the House GOP rhetoric over the last two years. That's how we got to where we are today. This was a completely manufactured crisis, and it's shameful.

Actually, 1/3 of the Govt' called the House of Representatives invented this "crisis" last year in a cynical attempt to hurt the economy and make Obama a one term president. They were betting on a certain Republican becoming president and making this whole thing go away. Well, as you can clearly see, their little scheme failed miserably and now they're fucked. That's why they did it, and shame on those pieces of shit for betting against America. I hope they all get voted out of office.

Boehner is a piece of shit! I am British and I cannot believe what the Republican party are doing, they don't care about the people who are suffering. Boehner and all his republican mates are RICH probably all millionares so they will not suffer even if they are taxed but, they are soo desperate to hold onto every penny of there money while making the poor pay for their tax cut, its unbelievable and why aren't the press making more of a deal out of it DAMN.

[Donald McClellan]

opps - perhaps he spoke to soon, since his party did not vote for it. He has a very short memory - his party Lost the election and he is still trying to hold on to tax cuts for the wealthy. Well on Jan 1,2013 perhaps he can start over.

The GOP are selfish assholes. They don't care what the ppl want.

If i were deaf, I would assume he is slobbering uncontrollably when he speaks.
