Boehner: Obama Wants To ‘Annihilate’ The GOP

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) circled the wagons on Tuesday, one day after President Obama's second inauguration, in an attempt to reassure his fellow Republicans that he would do everything in his power to challenge a "hostile" Obama administration in budget battles yet to come.

"So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this Administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party," Boehner said at a private Ripon Society luncheon, a Republican think tank in Washington. His comments were released on Wendesday.

"And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal – to just shove us into the dustbin of history," Boehner added. "I’ve been in these spots before. I remember November of ’06, January of ’07 -- we’ve been through these periods before. And you know, our Members get down, our supporters get down.”

Alluding to a costly debt ceiling battle that some members have pushed for, Boehner reiterated the need for temperance on behalf of more eager elements of his party, arguing that Republicans must choose wisely which battlefield they meet Obama on in the coming months.

Dear Republicans, you're doing it to yourselves, and the President is simply letting you.

[kelliekat44]

27. Didn't they vow to destroy his Presidency? He does not fear them and that frightens them. nt

[Blue Owl]

3. Next he'll be telling us how much Dubya worked with the Democrats

After another drink and smoke break, of course. And maybe a round of golf.

[malaise]

4. Ha - this from a party that held a meeting on Inauguration night 2009

and declared that their sole intention was to make Obama fail and make him a one term President.
Fugg em! Can't wait for the group to get going!!

[Taverner]

9. "shove us into the dustbin of history"

You dumbasses dug yourselves so deep for the past 4 years that you're down near the mantle of the earth of history now. The dustbin stage happened when McLame and Caribou Barbie lost.

[Scuba]

10. It isn't just Obama.

[nc4bo]

22. No, it isn't but it won't stop me from wishing it were.

If any group of people deserve to be put down, it would be every GOP neocon, teabagging, corporate-whore, capitalist slop bucket pos in existence.

[Speck Tater]

12. The Republicans are already doing that to themselves. nt

[grantcart]

13. And Boehner is just the man to make sure it happens.

[barbtries]

14. you're right

they're steering themselves straight into the dustbin of history.

[LisaLynne]

15. Projection!

They are ALWAYS accusing others of what they themselves are doing. They are annihilating themselves! So funny and yet sadly predictable.

[Deep13]

16. suits me nt

[KharmaTrain]

17. It's Called Being Held Accountable...

The favorables of the rushpublicans in the House are less than people who like botulism. Boner knows he has a dysfunctional poor excuse for a party and already has the excuses laid out. Gerrymander can only help for so long as the pressure on blue and purple state congresscritters will grow as more light is put on these losers. Today's sad demonstration in the Benghazi hearings show how disconnected his party is from reality and the electorate. Thus instead of confronting problems head on and governing (which rushpublicans have no clue on how to do) it's more rhetoric and attempts to obstruct.

[Cha]

19. Please Proceed boner.

[marions ghost]

34. +++

[spanone]

21. gawd, i hope so....he has my help.

[freshwest]

23. Obama said:

[markpkessinger]

[ellisonz]

25. They could just get it over with already.

And save us the trouble

[Lil Missy]

28. I hope that is true, but you guys are doing a good job of annihilating yourselves. n/t

[lunatica]

29. Boner, you walk around with both your feet in your mouth and claim it's President Obama's shoes.

[OldDem2012]

30. LOL!! Poor Boehner! The President doesn't have to do anything....

...because the GOP Tea-Nazis have kick-started their own demise.

[lpbk2713]

31. As if there's something WRONG with that?

Best idea I've heard all day.


But seriously, why bother? The GOP is doing a fine job of it without any help from us.

[toddwv]

32. Please proceed Speaker.
