John Boehner says NO to America yet again ....

John Boehner turns down Air Force One ride to Tucson



Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) turned down an offer by President Barack Obama to travel on Air Force One to Arizona for a memorial service on behalf of the victims of Saturday’s shooting.

As if this could not be more profane.. the Speaker of the House John Noehner chose to attend a 'Fund Raiser' on behalf of Maria Cino, a former top House GOP aide who is seeking the Republican National Committee chairmanship. Boehner is backing Cino’s challenge to current RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

Boehner, instead of joining the rest of the nation in the memorial for the victims of Saturday's national tragedy, skipped joining the President’s and bipartisan congressional delegation to the Tucson Memorial so he could host a Washington D.C. cocktail party for RNC members.

This action speaks volumes towards his own priorities when it concerns our nation.

4. Priorities, man
There will no doubt be another massacre some time soon (especially considering Republican policies and continuing cheap and easy access to firearms), but fatcat donors can't just postpone their party because some people got themselves shot.

5. Truely unfortunate observation
But....

This may be truer than you proposed and insinuate.

Not 1 day later there was a shooting outside of a bar/pub/club, what evah, in upstate WA.

The beat goes on.
