John Boehner Has New Bar For ‘Beneath Dignity’ Of Presidency: Obama Flying In His Plane (Video!)
John Boehner is so sad you guys. Won't Obama PLEASE pay up and reimburse the nation for the $179,000 per hour in taxpayer munneez it costs when he goes places and talks to people? Going to colleges and firing up popular support for the extension of low interest rates on college loans is especially "pathetic," Boehner says, because everybody knew the extension was gonna get passed! Everyone, of course, except for all the Teabaggers and GOP regulars who were voting against it. Like this guy, who is the chairman of the Education Committee!
“Bad policy based on lofty campaign promises has put us in an untenable situation," said Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., and chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. " We must now choose between allowing interest rates to rise or piling billions of dollars on the backs of taxpayers."
So, you know, except for that. What else is beneath the office of the presidency today? Campaigning, teleprompters, vacations, golf, Air Force 1, being a celebrity, being "cool," being funny, singing,wearing sharp suits, and anything Michelle does ever , because fat bitch.
But wait, Speaker Boehner, is your complaint particularly disingenuous this time? Well, lessee:
President Bush is using Air Force One for re-election travel more heavily than any predecessor, wringing maximum political mileage from a perk of office paid for by taxpayers.
While Democratic rival John Kerry digs into his campaign bank account to charter a plane to roam the country, Bush often travels at no cost to his campaign simply by declaring a trip "official" travel rather than "political."
Gonna go with "yes."
<i>&quot;We must now choose between allowing interest rates to rise or piling billions of dollars on the backs of taxpayers.&quot;</i> -- R. Kline, R-Minn
Oh boo hoo. Now you need to make a decision. Being in Congress is harder than you thought*.
While you&#039;re crying in your Dom Perignon, think about some of the hard decisions your fellow citizens face. Mortgage or food. See the doctor (w/out health insurance) or hope it&#039;s nothing. Have the rape baby at age 40 or drive 750 miles to get an abortion. _______________________ * In theory. There is no evidence he actually thought.
A &quot;campaign issue,&quot; as redefined by these GOP liars, is anything that reveals what obstructionist grifters they are.
