POLITICS - Boehner's Boners

"OBAMA SHINES A BRIGHT LIGHT ON BOEHNER'S 'IDEAS' ON JOBS" by Steve Benen, Washington Monthly 7/24/2010

Excerpt

It was largely overlooked during a busy media week, but House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), who's been reluctant to talk about his party's policy agenda in detail, was willing to outline three measures he'd pursue as Speaker to create American jobs. The list made it painfully clear -- to anyone who takes substance even a little seriously -- that Boehner has no idea what he's talking about.

In fact, the remarks were so patently ridiculous, President Obama devoted much of his weekly address to shining a bright light on Boehner's understanding of job creation.

After talking in some detail about his own approach to economic growth, Obama warned against going back "to the same ideas that created this mess in the first place," adding, "Unfortunately, those are the ideas we keep hearing from our friends in the other party."

This from the party that, for 8yrs, dug the national financial hole we are in today.

Yap. Good idea (NOT) to put the GOP back in power so they can dig the the hole deeper, filling in what LITTLE progress in FILLING the hole by Obama and the Democrats.
