He has made his share of mistakes but this is what he is up against... a President who is like a "shopaholic" and can't stop spending and is out to destroy the Republican Party. It also confirms what I said during the election, that without a Democrat House nothing is going to get done for the next 4 years.
"Given what we heard yesterday about the president's vision for his second term, it's pretty clear to me that he knows he can't do any of that as long as the House is controlled by Republicans," Boehner said in a speech Tuesday to The Ripon Society. "So we're expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party.

So he and his band of losers will sit back and do NOTHING. Did you here the cons asking questions yesterday at the hearings? By dog could have done better.
Are the republicans really just this stupid or do they just not care?
They need to step up with a PLAN and hit the talk show circuit endlessly not rollover and play dead.

We need more Rand Pauls. As mnay pundits pointed out, they needed to ask one questions not 10 and no prefacing them with blowhard speeches.
They blew the one chance at finishing off Clinton for good which is why I always manintain that there is no difference in the 2 parties. When they get behind closed doors it's all "the old boys club mentality". Neither cares about anyone but themselvs.

I was thinking the same thing. More and more I think the dem and rep leaders are nothing more than smaller pro wrestlers. On mike they talk like they want to kill each other and then they really go at it until the chosen one wins. Then they go in the back and party like buddies.
I think it is one big scam where they are just pretending to disagree and the outcome is already known by both side. Right now the Dems hold the belt so they get to win until someone hits them with a chair and puts them in the hospital. Then the Rep's win for a while.

I couldn't agree more with both of you. The pubs should have gotten together and lined up the questions by each. However, they felt it more self serving to pontificate and then not have time for probing questions. It was really a sad job by the pubs.
I'm telling you anyone that thinks there isn't something more going on behind the scenes is naive. I know many label the Bilderberg Group nothing more than a conspiracy but there are people far more powerful than any one President or the Congress running the show. There are more people/officials bought and paid for than the limited amount of representatives that are actually sincere, honest and trying to do the right thing.
Honesty is outgunned by corruption and the American people are mere pawns. Yesterday hearings were a charade by both sides which is why Rand Paul was the only stand out. To those with the power he is harmless. If he ever gets traction they will destroy him politically. Ron Paul never was a threat so they just let him be.
I never bought into the one world order theory until Obama came along. Virtually out of nowhere with a shady past, no one interested in verifying anything about him, a passive media where he is concerned and policies intent on the destruction of this nation along with much more finally made it credible to me.
Hillarry should have been "nailed to a cross" yesterday and look what we got...a dog and pony show.
Obama doesn't need to try to annilate the GOP. The party, more or less, is dying of a thousand self-inflicted cuts. On the bright side, the 2012 elections will be good for the GOP. Parties often need defeat before they obtain victory.
Boehner is a slow learner...

Right after an election the losing party is always written off as "going out of existance". The opposing party always comes back. We jsut need to go to work and make sure we make gains in the House and Senate. The Senate has some good opportunities for the GOP if they don't nonimate folks woth "foot in mouth" disease. STAY AWAY FROM ABORTION AND RAPE!

Abortion and Contraception need to be avoided. Do they right thing on both but avoid public debate over them.
All the GOP needs to do is pick and choose their battles more carefully and sadly fight fire with fire. The Dems play dirty and the GOP needs to do the same....at least until they regain power.
Taking the high road in a nation with the demographics that now exist...won't work.

Silly boy! You believe THEY lead with those issues! Did you learn nothing from the George Stephanopoulos debate questions?
They will always be hit with these questions and more. THEN they'll take bits and pieces to CREATE an issue Remember "binders full of women"? Still have no idea WHY that's so bad, but Demons ran with it.

destroy the opposition is what Totalitarian regimes do. ask the Cubans, venzuelands or some guy living in cambodia.

Boehner is right on the money.
Obama knows the GOP is already weak especially after last years election, and he knows the growing demographics in this country, such as hispanics, are on his side. So deciding to load up on ammo to aim blows at the GOP when its almost at the point of being on its knees is EXACTLY what hes planning to do. As you'll hear some say Boehner is just stirring up more bs, but then again he was the one who scored the epic win with telling Henry Reid to "f*** off!"
Why wouldn't they want to destroy the Conservatives? That is EXACTLY what I want to happen to the liberals in this country. I want to make them disappear and allow our country to prosper in the manner I think is best. Liberals feel the same about us, they want us to disappear allow the country to "prosper" as they see fit.

Don't worry my friend the democraps will disappear, just a matter of time. Their young can't survive by killing their babies 300,000 plus a year, their young adults can't reproduce with gay marriage or being gay, and now they will be killing their elderly with ObamaCare.

I was going to say something similar....
Most of the republicans will be fine. They have either already been neutered, or are on Obama's side. It's the conservative movement and the constitution that Obama wants destroyed. We've got republicans that are actively helping him squash conservatives. :mad:
BTW- Was Boehner crying when he made that announcement?
He's not in Obama's crosshairs. Obama is looking right past him. Boehner thinks that he's the target, but in Obama's eyes, he's nothing but a pesky fly.
If he wants to be perceived as a threat, he needs to start acting like one. Man up, and become a warrior for freedom, the constitution, and the country. If he can't do that, he can shut up and sit back down until we can get him replaced. :mad:
It pisses me off to no end, when the GOP behaves as if Obama is something to be scared of.

It's true, kids always hate their parents for wanting them to act civilized and do the right thing in becoming productive citizens.
Sadly it appears somehow parenting has become a lost art and the children refuse to accept guidance and since they've gained the right to vote (18 and smarter than anyone) they decide the candy store is open for the taking.
Yes the kids will inherit the country, like an OWS group occupying an abandoned hotel.
There won't be anything left to clean up.
It completely makes sense when you consider, their parents were the hippies of the 60s.
