[workinclasszero]

Source: CNN

An emboldened House Speaker John Boehner, fresh off Tuesday's midterms when Republicans secured a bigger House majority and a GOP controlled Senate, warned President Barack Obama if he tried to go around Congress and take executive action on immigration he will get "burned."

Boner issuing threats already.

Hope all the folks that stayed home the other day are happy now.

[Ineeda]

1. Does Boner's threat mean that congress would

retaliate against the president by doing even less for the American people than they've already (not) done? Big effin whoop.

[christx30]

3. It's not like they would

do anything reckless and stupid like shut down the government.

[louis-t]

2. Second repug to wave his dick in Obama's face.

McConnell was the first.

[George II]

4. I say that we alert the Secret Service!

[yeoman6987]

23. His secret service?

Yep they all have secret service in those positions.

[MurryMom]

5. Public hearings

Speaker Boehner ought to be encouraged to hold public hearings on the ACA in order to investigate Obamacare stories about persons who allegedly lost health care coverage as a result of the law. My hunch is that nearly all of the Obamacare stores will be debunked and there will be hundreds of times more stories about people whose lives have been turned around as a result of having coverage now that they lacked before. Congress also ought to investigate whether people are saving money for health care under the new law, compared to what they spent before January 1.

40. Unfortunately nobody cares about the truth

Boner and the GOPers will make a great show this before they try to weaken the law, and to hell with the American public.

In fact I believe I'll email my new tea-bag Senator and tell him I think it would be a good idea to do away with the ACA - just as long as they leave alone the parts that keep insurance companies from discriminating against pre-existing conditions, allows kids to stay on their parents plan until age 25, provides for free checkups, allows people to find affordable plans on the exchange, etc. etc. (And I imagine if they try to do away with the mandate that a lot of deep pockets in the insurance industry will suddenly dry up, so that won't get touched either.)

[crim son]

49. I think you are absolutely right and that people would care if this investigation

was made into a big freaking issue. I personally know a few republicans who despise Obamacare for various reasons, none of which would be an issue if they actually looked into taking advantage of the available benefits. They'd rather pay more for less than admit that Obama's government has done something right. It's frustrating as hell.

[Kber]

6. Well he'd know about getting burned

Politically and otherwise

[Blue Owl]

7. Have another cigarette, Mr. Boner

n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. And another magnum of Merlot

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

9. He's drunk

Intoxicated to the max. He thinks he's coming out swinging . He hopes to punch Putin in the mouth some day.! He see's himself as a prize fighter. He's a drunk.

More drunk than as usual.

[GeorgeGist]

10. He was gonna say 'hang' ...

but everyone can hear that dog whistle.

[Fla Dem]

25. My first thought too, that's what he wanted to say. nt

[tavernier]

59. Me too...

The minute he said "Burn", I immediately pictured the cross and the noose. Indeed, as close to a dog whistle as could be. And yet, I've heard no outrage on the msm. Interesting.

[freshwest]

11. Yes, they are happy now.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Disrespectful Arrogance

Arrogant swine, the champagne's gone to his head already

[AlinPA]

13. He's talking impeachment.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Yup.

In a sly almost sadistic reference to something painful

Is torture always on their sick minds?

[GusBob]

38. ding ding you win the prize

Bullseye

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. Boehner should watch himself in case someone 'burns' him

[Burf-_-]

15. Racist asshole

Boner .... was thinking of a "burning cross" when he said it. Anybody doubt it ?

[workinclasszero]

32. Nope

I bet he was thinking about strange fruit also.

The whole damned republican party is thinking the same thing.

[LuckyLib]

48. My immediate thought as well -- you racist slimeball.

[Ccarmona]

17. He's an Intellectual

little person.

[heaven05]

18. 10-4

on the could have but preferred to stay home.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. Actually, I expect the Republicans to spontaneously combust.

[Enrique]

20. i.e. the election didn't change anything

unless Boehner was a stand-up guy the past six years and I missed it.

[Cha]

21. Well, looky here.. boner all waving his limp flabby

tongue off.. threatening POTUS with getting "burned". Fucking idiot.

[99th_Monkey]

22. Talking to Obama like he is an ignorant child. Shameful Dick-waddery nt

[Raine1967]

24. Working together for the GOP means nothing more than this:

Do what we want you to do and shut up, Obama.

The president came out yesterday with a wonderful presser, congenial and fought at the same time, and right out the gate we get this BS.

I don't think it will Obama that gets burned with an executive action. He's going to do this. IT will be up to them to make it law. If they don;t -- it will be really interesting.

[Fla Dem]

26. Just waiting for any reason to impeach. You know the RW crazies would jump at the chance. nt

[bravenak]

27. Burned as in lynched/burned?

I heard nothing about playing with fire.

[Dont call me Shirley]

28. ...Says the burnt orange guy

[valerief]

29. Does that mean Boehner is going to set Obama on fire? If not, what does he mean? nt

[adigal]

30. I was very offended by this

I think we should all write to Boehner, accuse him of threatening Obama and being racist, and demanding an apology.

He knew exactly what he was saying, that bastard. Racist bastard.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Is this what he means?

[flamingdem]

34. Ouch!

didn't think of that but hmm

[Amonester]

43. First horrifying thought I had while reading it.

Just read all the replies upthread to see if I was not the only one.

I knew I wasn't.

Obvious, since it can't be about losing an election (political "burn&quot , or make the Senate "convict" after any made-up impeachment (political "burn&quot , then it must be about...

^^

[flamingdem]

33. This is just an extension of Voter Suppression

They don't want the new citizens to vote Dem over the long haul. Idiot repukes. Oh and racism.

[jimlup]

35. by contrast of character ...

It it had been a democratic blue tide turning and a red dick head president, the new majority leader would be talking about "working with the president on common ground."

Fucking Republicans are reactionary haters. I hope Obama stands his ground against these motherfuckers.

[RandiFan1290]

46. I remember that

[bearssoapbox]

36. Then that drunkard shoudn't stand close to President Obama.

With Boners alcohol infused body, they'll both go up in flames.

Especially now, since he's probably been half in the bag since the election.

[alcibiades_mystery]

37. Boehner to Obama: My caucus is a pack of dogs that could tree you...don't get hung up

Understand this election as a good whipping.

Now you go on and get to work, boy...

[PatrynXX]

39. hey whoever voted and didn't vote

voted or didn't vote to keep things running exactly the same. no I don't think not voting is a good idea. Thats what write in's are for. although not sure if you can vote yourself in. can I ? never tried that before

[BlueStater]

41. What a disrespectful douchenozzle.

He talks to the POTUS like he's a fucking dog.

[mfcorey1]

42. Who the h*ll are you threatening, you impression of an orange peel?

[JudyM]

50. ha! nt

[Politicalboi]

44. But Obama wasn't on the ticket

Anyone who thought that, wasn't paying attention. Obama should tell Boner a big Fuck You!

[6000eliot]

45. Translation: "Don't get all 'uppity.'"

[muntrv]

47. Try it Boner! The Senate does not have 2/3 repukes to remove him from office.

[Corruption Inc]

51. CNN is a propaganda network and Boehner is a repuke

Neither know what the truth is.

[shenmue]

52. That's a code word

and we all know what it really is.

[ladjf]

53. Boehner sounded like a petulant teen ager. nt

[AnnieBW]

54. Says "The Tanning Booth Congressman"

Eerily similar:



and

[Chemisse]

55. He's trying to let the crazies in the House know he is going to keep up the fight.

They were like a trio of roosters trying to outcrow each other this week.

With his speech, Obama let us know he is not going to kiss Republican ass. McConnell's speech was to get Ted Cruz whipped into line by saying no government shut downs. And Boehner preserves his power by dangling fighting words to the nutjobs he is in charge of.

[Greekme]

56. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/06/politics/boehner-presser-midterms/

Lord help us all. Warning the Commander in Chief. Absurd!

[Darb]

57. Please, please, please Mr. President, issue the order,

and go big.

[santamargarita]

58. Nothing more than a loud mouth drunk!

[Stonegonads]
