Obama pokes fun at Boehner
It’s Wednesday, and we’re just now getting to the funniest Dayton-related humor out of last weekend’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner: President Barack Obama’s shout-out to House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester.
Here’s Obama’s quote direct from the White House transcript:
“In the next hundred days, our bipartisan outreach will be so successful that even John Boehner will consider becoming a Democrat. After all, we have a lot in common. He is a person of color. Although not a color that appears in the natural world. What’s up, John? “
Boehner, R-West Chester, an avid golfer, is notorious on Capitol Hill for his deep tan, though we prefer to point out his penchant for poking fun at reporters’ wardrobes.

Bohner’s only concern is his own political movement and his own political ambitions. He should be corrected, it is not CO2 that comes out of a cows butt. What exits a cows butt is similar to what exits a republicans mouth.By Vote Him OUT

Mr fake and bake is nothing but a gasbag, whining grandstander and an embarassment to Ohio. Where was he the last 8 years when the we went from surplus to deficit. Now he is the watch dog for the GOP? He is in it for the big corps., rich and cares nothing about the Ohio middle class.By jim

And Obama is good for the blue collar workmen? Obama takes a trillion dollars of your tax money, and then gives it to the banks so they can lend it back to you at 29% per annum. Who makes out in that deal?By Nero

“He is for immigration reform, energy independence,cutting taxes and winning the war on terror.”(fightforamerica) Funny, his record over the past eight years shows no such thing. Well, yes, he is in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy. And that worked very well - for the wealthy. Now Obama has to clean up the mess those tax cuts and other Republican greedbased policies have caused for America. His “energy policy” has consisted of giving huge tax breaks to big oil while trying to halt any thing which would shift our energy needs from oil to other greener supplies. “winning the War on Terror”??? He and Bush stopped that war the minute they invaded a nation which had never attacked the United States. Now Obama has to go back and win the war on terror which Beohner and bush forgot about.By fightforamerica
