Whose fault is Cantor's loss? Obama's of course, says Boehner.

BOEHNER BLAMES OBAMA FOR CANTOR'S DEFEAT BECAUSE REASONS

"You have to understand, the American people are being squeezed by Obama's policies. The economy is not growing. Incomes aren't growing. We're not creating enough jobs. And two-thirds of America have seen no increase in their wages but their food prices are going up, their gas prices are going up, and their health insurance prices are going up. And so there's a lot of frustration that's out there, and they look to Washington, and wonder why we can't resolve these issues. And they're hard to resolve when you've got a president who won't engage."

What bullshit.

Obama has had every policy and nominee blocked by these raging assholes strictly for spite. They are at a 5% approval rating for being the lamest, non productive, lazy, rotten, worthless, obstructionist, insane and stupid , House, in history. Boner, you and Yertle are next.Go ahead and obstruct something else, while you still can. You %#! $@**&! $@%!!!

My parents gave me that Dr. Suess record when I was five. Fifty years later, I can still remember it, "Yertle the Turtle" on one side and "Batholomew and the Oobleck" on the other!

"And Yertle the Turtle,
oh marvellous he,
was king of the mud,
for that is all he could see."

Kind of fitting, now that I think about it......

I'm seeing it a lot all of a sudden. Like being reckless and emotional was the right way to go.

...who am I to argue? Regardless of who's to "blame", it's a real pleasure to see that smarmy asshole Cantor lose his House seat and leadership position. Here's hoping he fades off into the belly of some welcoming corporation, never again to be heard from in polite company.

For the good of all 'The People',the Orange man should resign and let a real Leader take charge.

We 'the people' have waited way, way, to many years for Boehners 'gang' to get some real work done! all they do is ponder their RW tabloid crap and nag the President.
