In reply to the discussion: Boehner: Don’t blame us [View all]Heathen57
(573 posts)46. Obama IS leading
Boner cannot grasp the simple idea that nobody can lead when those you are supposed to be leading are all running around throwing temper tantrums because they don't get to run things.
The GOP remind me very much of a group of spoiled rich kindergarteners whose parents never said the word NO! to them. I expect to see McConnell hold a press conference and tell the world he is going to hold his breath until he turns blue because Reid and Obama didn't bow down and kiss his high and mighty arse.
Now they have once again screwed the poodle, but this time, at least some of the news outlets are not spreading the blame but heaping it squarely onto the GOP where it belongs.

Well, it looks like Boehner is leaning toward not bringing the Senate Bill to a vote...
