Full Text of Boehner's 7/25 debt ceiling speech. What did he mean by "outsiders" ?
Edited on Mon Jul-25-11 09:13 PM by cyberpj
Can anyone tell me what Boehner meant by using the word "outsiders" in the excerpt below:

snip-
Obviously, I expect that bill can and will pass the Senate, and be sent to the President for his signature. If the President signs it, the 'crisis' atmosphere he has created will simply disappear. The debt limit will be raised. Spending will be cut by more than one trillion dollars, and a serious, bipartisan committee of the Congress will begin the hard but necessary work of dealing with the tough challenges our nation faces.

The individuals doing this work will not be outsiders, but elected representatives of the people, doing the job they were elected to do as outlined in the Constitution. Those decisions should be made based on how they will affect people who are struggling to get a job, not how they affect some politician's chances of getting reelected.

4. He's trying to say OBAMA is influenced by big corporate interests
And in most cases, it would be a pejorative. In this case, it's because the financial elite are pressuring the top guys to get the fucking deal done.

I heard it as code for Boehner to the big dawgs to stop pressuring both of them.
