The jobs that the Republicans say the wealthy create are overseas I guess, not here. The wealthy have had a free ride too long and it has to come to an end. The loopholes for corporations has to be closed. The Republicans are in turmoil. Cantor has a knife in the back of Boehner, and the tea bags have a gun to his head, and he doesn't have what it takes to stand up to them. All they are interested in is the President not succeeding, they don't give a damn about America. Never has a President been treated so badly, but he has what it takes to succeed and he will. Republicans have no one that is qualified, alot of babbling idiots that even they don't want. What a disfunctional party.
I believe that the super congress that is proposed by Boehner and Raid would be unconstutional in two different aspects. First, there are three parties in congress, not two as they both have alleged. By not including the third party (independent) in the super congress the people from their districts are denied their right of true representation as afford by the constutition. Secondly, all the other repubs and dems who represent districts are not going to be able to represent their district with just a yes or no vote. No where in the constutition does it say congress should be run by twelve egotistical prickheads. I believe the proper phrase is equal representation. This is just another example of how sleazy and degraded our political system has become.
What a crock of bull John Boehner has spewed here I am so disgusted What kind of leader is he He cant even control his joke of a party And I do believe he is paranoid about Eric Cantor I wish these idiots had to give up all their money and pay and have to deal with the reality that people arent eating,are neglecting their health under stress 24hrs a day wondering if it will ever get better after working hard all their life and being looked down upon why dont you interview some of us I am so depressed and feel like I would be better off gone sometimes People that still have jobs think you are just lazy This longterm unemployment has destroyed my credit and reputation of never having a gap in between jobs I have gone through my 401k and now they are going to take away Social Security and raise the age when I will be 65 I am now going to be 50years of age in September and everytime I go to a job interview I get discriminated by Age and the disgusting remarks that I just was living the life on unemployment which was more stress worrying at each extention if I was not going to get it I wonder do we get counted in these unemployment percentages after we exhaust our benefits mine the first week of June and when I leave yhese interviews need two days just to get over the depression from these comments
somebody has to say it the republicans will sell out the country, just to see the president fail, the main reason is because he is the first black president, and they will do anything in their power to"take their country back" the fact that a black man has the nerve to tell them what needs to be done is insulting to them. they dont respect the office of the president as long as a black man is in office, they refuse to put president in front of Obama when refering to the prez. the disrespect that they have for our president is insulting to us as americans. thank you Ed for always standing up for what is right, as a "minority" span/native amer. I thank you for always seeing me as what i am "an American"remind the people who got us in this mess in the first place..thanks again Ed....willie
John Boehner is one of the worst Speakers of the house in American history.
Mr.Speaker what have you done to help the economy?
What do lightbulbs have to do with jobs?
Where is the plan that you and your people said they would hit the ground rolling with in November?
Why have you decided to wait til now to put out a plan, were you too busy to do your job a month ago?
Do you believe you deserve the pay and benefits you receive for the crappy job your doing?
Why the hell are you asking police, firefighters, teachers, social workers to make sacrifices and give up their benefits when people like yo are not trying to help anyone or better society?
Why did you reject a four trillion deal for a two trillion one since its been you repubs. that have been harping about defecits?
Pathetic.
