Boehner Spox: We’re ‘Hopeful’ That Obama Is ‘Finally Ready To Get Serious’

Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), released a statement Friday night in response to remarks made by President Obama earlier in the evening on the looming fiscal cliff:

Though the President has failed to offer any solution that passes the test of balance, we remain hopeful he is finally ready to get serious about averting the fiscal cliff. The House has already acted to stop all of the looming tax hikes and replace the automatic defense cuts. It is time for the Democratic-run Senate to act, and that is what the Speaker told the President tonight. Speaker Boehner will return to Washington following the holiday, ready to find a solution that can pass both houses of Congress.

2. They hope Obama will get "serious". Then on a Thursday night...

they run around in circles screaming indignitys. Beat each other about the head and ears with their ideologies. Tell their lead Boner to screw off. Get all frustrated. Pick up their balls and their bats, and go home for the holidays.
Yep that would be our "red footed friends".
Teapublicans, the threat from within.

3. Boehner knows he doesn't have the votes for anything. The

most he can do is pretend he's in control.

4. This from the man who can't control his band of bickering Teabaggers.

They're running around acting like a bunch of spoiled children angry because they can't have all the candy they want, and Boehner is letting them.

When he wants to act like a serious Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, then he can talk trash.
