Boehner’s Office Says Obama Avoiding Personal Responsibility For Drought
TPM

On its website and in an email Monday, House Speaker John Boehner’s office said President Obama needs to take personal responsibility for the drought ravaging the Midwest.

Obama, “continues to blame anyone and everyone for the drought but himself,” reads a release from Boehner’s office posted online and distributed to reporters Monday. The quote was attributed to Boehner himself in a Financial Times story. The online post and the press release came from Boehner spokesperson Kevin Smith.

1. Has this asswipe finally lost his mind?

Obama needs to take responsibility for the drought?

Well they try to pin everything else on him, why the hell not?

2. Wait 'til this meme gets to the Fox news/Limbaugh crowd

in a land and time where reason and rationality don't exist! Those folks will
take it as fact. Yet another reason to hate Obama - won't even blame himself for
the drought!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Yeah. He hates Illinois so much that he wishes a severe drought on us.

Hmmmm...wonder if he ordered today's rain, too? Doesn't Boehner know about Acts of God?

4. Does this mean that Boehner has acknowledged Obama as God?

[DCKit]

11. For real. And I thought my sister was a bit demented blaming Obama for everything Congress...

has been blocking. She seems to believe that the President runs the country, and I tried to correct her. I didn't realize just how powerful he really is.

It's good to be on God's side. Just wait until be begins smiting Teabaggers. The smell of bacon will linger for months.

5. Its a UN plot to turn US into a desert Islamic dictatorship.

I'm surprised the GOP isn't solidly behind the idea...

[coalition_unwilling]

6. OMFG, I just about pissed myself laughing so hard. What we need are

a group of flagellants who walk around in public beating themselves with flails for the drought.

I'm so channeling Monty Python right now.

[WilliamPitt]

14. You mean...

...like this?

[coalition_unwilling]

20. LOL1 Thanks for that - brought back some great memories. - n/t

[kentuck]

7. Oh MY!

I had no idea...

[Sheepshank]

8. Well that tears it...........

I'm going to march right down to the Whitehouse and...........................

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Typical stereotyping. Hey asshole not all people of African descent have

weather control powers like that lady in the X-Men.

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. Time to cut Boner off at 15 martinis a day.

[DCKit]

12. What'll he do for lunch and dinner? You bastid! nt

[Panasonic]

13. In your own fantasy world, Boehner

Get back to work, and start working on the jobs bill or lose your job.

^snip^

* UPDATED @ 4:30 PM ET: Clarifies that the president is blaming others for failing to respond to the drought when he has yet to urge Senate Democrats to adopt a bipartisan drought-relief measure passed by the House

16. He can't be serious, can he?

[treestar]

17. Obama is God now?

You'd think it would be us cheerleaders that would get accused of it. Yet we find it's Boner who thinks it.

[lunatica]

18. If he had Godlike powers they still wouldn't respect him

[trof]

19. I guess Twain was wrong then.

He said "Every body TALKS about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it."
Now Obama can control the weather?
This may be bad news for U.S. 'enemies'.

[tridim]

21. I guess Obama controls the weather machines?

[mick063]

22. Ugly face at it again

Congress will launch an investigation for sure. How many millions will they spend to investigate on why our fine President didn't make enough rain?

Those champions of fiscal responsibility and enemies of frivolous litigation are at it again.
