Boner claims "This president has no interest in listening to the American people". Simply audacious

[ChisolmTrailDem]

considering that Boner and his gang, as well as McConnell & Co., has had no interest in listening to the American people after two landslide presidential victories placed President Obama in the Oval Office.

So, what Boner means is: "When you win, we stonewall you every way we can. When we win, we expect you to ask how high when we say 'jump'."

And no one in the media seems to call him out on this bullshit.

(This is in reference to a quote just moments ago by Boner regarding the president's threat to veto the KXL bill.)

1. After six years of the most disrespectful treatment I have seen this President go through by the

republicans, and most of their lapdogs in the media, this should come as no surprise that it is more of the same bullshit from these clowns.

I think the President realizes now you cannot work with these republicans in congress, and will do what he needs to do

2. It's so incredibly maddening to watch him stand there and say that after all the

stonewalling the rethugs have done on the past six years! ARRRRGGGH!

Absolutely audacious and no one calls them on it. No one!

[still_one]

4. and most of the MSM provide cover for those republicans which makes it even more infuriating

[LynnTTT]

3. Disrespect

Then they turn around and complain that the President doesn't reach out to the GOP and respect their opinion.

[world wide wally]

5. Exactly! Now that Republicans control the Senate, everyone is calling for "working together" and

getting things done. Not so much of that for the past 4 years when they opposed EVERYTHING Obama tried. Not much talk about it in the media either.

[woo me with science]

6. Neither party is listening to the people. That's the meaning of oligarchy:

And that's what the Princeton study revealed. We have corporate money flooding both sides of the aisle in Washington and corrupting the direction of both major parties to the point that citizens have no impact on policy anymore.

US Is an Oligarchy Not a Democracy, says Scientific Study

That's why we see this:

Mass spying on Americans? Both parties support it.
Handing the internet to corporations? Both parties support it.
Austerity for the masses? Both parties support it.
Cutting social safety nets? Both parties support it.
Corporatists in the cabinet? Both parties support it.
Tolling our interstate highways? Both parties support it.
Corporate education policy? Both parties support it.
Bank bailouts? Both parties support it.
Ignoring the trillions stashed overseas? Both parties support it.
Trans-Pacific Job/Wage Killing Secret Agreement? Both parties support it.
TISA corporate overlord agreement? Both parties support it.
Drilling and fracking? Both parties support it.
Wars on medical marijuana instead of corrupt banks? Both parties support it.
Deregulation of the food industry? Both parties support it.
GMO's? Both parties support it.
Privatization of the TVA? Both parties support it.
Immunity for telecoms? Both parties support it.
"Looking forward" and letting war criminals off the hook? Both parties support it.
Deciding torturers are patriots? Both parties support it.
Militarized police and assaults on protesters? Both parties support it.
Indefinite detention? Both parties support it.
Drone wars and kill lists? Both parties support it.
Targeting of journalists and whistleblowers? Both parties support it.
Private prisons replacing public prisons? Both parties support it.
Unions? Both parties view them with contempt.
Trillion dollar increase in nuclear weapons. Both parties support it.
New war in Iraq. Both parties support it.
New war in Syria. Both parties support it.
Carpet bombing of captive population in Gaza. Both parties support it.

We have united oligarchy, not gridlocked democracy. That's why we need to become the 99 percent, back non-corporate-corrupted politicians like Bernie Sanders who are talking honestly about what has been done to this nation, and get corporate money and power out of politics to get our representation back.

Hey, WMWS, do you have any more stuff like this? This is a better than any TV news I've seen.

7. ...

"no one in the media seems to call him out"

[global1]

9. It's Just That The American People That The President Listen's To Aren't The Same.....

American People that Boner listens to. Result = gridlock.

[Stellar]

12. Boehner American people are called.....

Teabaggers - - - are they even human?

[kentuck]

10. Yes, what about the huge majority that voted for the President?

Do our votes count for nothing?

[Odin2005]

11. By "American People" Boner means "Republicans".

These people think that only white evangelical Christian conservatives are "real" Americans.
