So predictable.

President Barack Obama’s plan to allow expanded offshore oil and gas exploration won rebuke from the top House Republican on Wednesday.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) dismissed the president’s plan as not going far enough in opening up U.S. waters for exploration.

Obama’s decision “continues to defy the will of the American people,” Boehner said in a statement, pointing to the president’s decision to open Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters, while leaving Pacific and many Alaskan waters largely closed to exploration.

Obama could propose cutting taxes to zero, deporting everyone who can’t speak English, renaming the country “Jesusland”…doesn’t matter.

The GOP answer will always be the same.

5. The memo hasn't hit TeaBagger HQ yet...

They didn't know that even though they are supposed to be "for" offshore drilling, when Obama is "for" it, then they must be "agin" it. Being "agin" Obama trumps everything, donchano.

[monmouth]

12. Oh I've noticed. The very "smart" and indy thinkers I think..LOL...n/t

3. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

He must have been reading DU... where opposite is true!

When W was in charge, we knew he would do the opposite of what he said. Now, Obama must do the opposite of what he wants because the Pubbies can't agree with him on anything!

C'mon, Barack! Proclaim the sky blue with white clouds! Please! Pretty please? I so want to hear the Pubbie proclamation that it is actually purple with green clouds!

:rofl:

No surprise here.

7. "...purple with green clouds!," the sky's falling in, and "their" rapture is here, now

hopefully they can all ascend into the heavens and be gone, leaving the rest of us in peace.

8. Or at least hide in shame when their predictions fall through...

But you know how it goes... there will be some spinny explanation... up is down, etc.

4. "Oppose" isn't actually accurate as used in the title. ( n/t )

[JuniperLea]

6. They must oppose Obama...

Even when what he wants is what they've been screaming for.

[Make7]

13. How is wanting more offshore drilling than Obama's plan opposing offshore drilling? ( n/t )

[JuniperLea]

14. Where did they say that?

I've not seen it and I've been reading about this all morning.

16. Umm... it's in the OP.
