ANOTHER REASON BOEHNER HAS TO 'GO!'...

To say that John Boehner has been little more than a disappointment as Speaker of the House is something that I think, most would agree, is an understatement. The grand hopes we all had after the election or 2010 just never materialized. Political capital was wasted because of poor leadership. And the list of reasons for why we can no longer afford to trust Boehner has grown to be a rather lengthy one. And over this past weekend that same list became longer by one. You see, it was during an interview that Boehner said that he "absolutely" trusts Barry "Almighty", not that they don't have their differences.

In his recent appearance on ABC's "This Week," Boehner said that he and Barry have a good relationship and that they're "open with each other ... honest with each other." But the Ohio lawmaker says they're trying to bridge some big differences. And as bizarre as this may sound, the one issue that they seem to agree on is the fact that the U.S. doesn't have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. I guess I'm a little curious to know just what it might take for Boehner to finally come to the realization that our current debt crisis is just that, a crisis. I'm not sure how it can be viewed as anything else.

I feel quite comfortable in saying that more than a few conservatives have come out and criticized Barry for his saying just last week that our country doesn't really have an immediate debt crisis. And Boehner apparently agrees with him on that point, saying that a debt crisis does loom in the years ahead because entitlement programs are not sustainable if they aren't changed. He says balancing the budget will help the economy. I guess I just don't understand how it is that someone can look our nearly $17 Trillion in debt, and NOT view it as being a crisis RIGHT NOW!.

And another thing that puzzles me is how anyone, who I assume has at least half a brain, can bring himself to trust someone who is a pathological liar. Barry has proven, more times that I care to count, that he will lie about anything. So just how is that Boehner can bring himself to trust someone who has lied to him, repeatedly. Either Boehner is simply not as smart as I give him credit for, or he's one of the most gullible people on the planet. Either way it's pretty obvious that he's now become much more of a hindrance than a help to the cause. We need more responsible leadership.
