1. WHAT THE @#$!

2. “There’s widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws,”

Boehner: Immigration Reform Until Obama Regains Our Trust
By Carrie Dann http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/boehner-immigration-reform-until-obama-regains-our-trust-n23671

House Speaker John Boehner dampened prospects for immigration reform this year, blaming a lack of “trust” between the White House and Republicans.

“There’s widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws,” he said Thursday in a briefing with reporters. “And it’s going to be difficult to move any immigration legislation until that changes.”

But the GOP leader did not say what rebuilding that trust might entail.

3. Boehner needs to grow the F* up.

Do your job or resign. Geez.

[atreides1]

4. He is doing his job

His job has been to obstruct...I think he's been doing it very well...don't you?

[Coyotl]

5. His job as a Congress critter or his job as a politician?

His job is not to single-handedly destroy the USA.

That was Bush's job and he did it very well.

6. What's next? "How do we know he isn't an alien (outer space kind)?"

There is no end to Boehner's excuses. And, there is no creativity to them just more propaganda and feeding the base.

7. Nothing funnier than a self-cock-blocked boner

8. Does the president go out and prevent

police, and regulators, in person?? What happens when Obama leaves office? will we all of a sudden have laws enforced again?? Gee what an idiot boner is!

9. Had a similiar conversation with an old dear friend today.

I'm afraid I don't understand all I know about the President not enforcing laws. I thought the Justice Dept. did that. Can he mandate orders to DOJ?

[Coyotl]

11. The President is supposed to NOT interfere in the operations of the DoJ. Politics, you know!

So, I guess Boehner just doesn't understand government.

Oh yeah, and Bush upheld the law when Gonzales was AG

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. Republicans and Democrats passed laws just fine under Bush

even though Bush attached those "signing statements" to the laws stating that he could pretty much ignore them whenever he felt they intruded too much on his authority.
