ā€œThe fact is my job is listen to my members and listen to the American people,ā€ he continued, ā€œand make their priorities our priorities.ā€

Screw you, jackass! If that were your job you wouldnā€™t oppose the twice elected president on every damn thing he tries to do. An exponentially larger majority of the American people voted for Obama than voted for any Republican in Congress and yet that didnā€™t stop you.

I have had enough of being lectured by this marble-mouthed half-witted asswipe about what ā€œthe American Peopleā€ think and want and about his ā€œcommon senseā€ solutions, all of which seem to involve tax cuts for rich people or fucking everyone else.

Itā€™s like he sincerely believes that ā€œThe American Peopleā€ is synonymous with ā€œOld White People.ā€

Your job is to work with the President not threaten him daily with legal suits, impeachment, ACA repeal, government shutdowns, refusal to fund expenditures you yourself authorized, etc.

More of the same shit coming up, ladies and gentlemen. Time to become an ex-pat, 'cause this place is going down.

Thatā€™s a really fancy way of saying heā€™s just going to throw a whiny tantrum, obstruct, and pass poisonous bills for two years.

Bone head has had too good, they all have in the House.
When he isnā€™t tanked, courtesy of the House and taxpayer funded saloon, heā€™s hung over. Its why I support term limits for the House, to get rid of these vermin
This country will go down because of his ilk and the hate he represents that appeals to the lowest common denominator being mailed at election time, funded in large by the 1% who keep them poor and scared. I have faith in the American people are better, but donā€™t discount chicanery, deceit and dirty low down tactics by these win any costs ā€œpublic servantsā€.
The Democrats need to toot their horns loud and tell the American people and expose these ā€˜leadersā€™ for who the the scoundrels they are. No more nice

Finding common ground is impossible if one side does not bend at all, talking about the GOP here. And it should be a game of give and take, not just give by one side.

As for listening to the American peopleā€¦only when you like what they have to say. Or listening to your district. Otherwise background checks would not even be a controversy.

Boehner you douchebag, how about this: Tell the American people the truth about Obamacare for once, and see if they still truly dislike it.

Hereā€™s what Obamaā€™s response to Boehner should be: ā€œHey, f*ck you.ā€

Civility. Can you at least fake civility?

I really hope they repeal the ACA and Obama calls their bluff and lets it pass. Then sit back and watch the shitstorm of people in a panic about losing health insurance. Let all those who hate Obamacare go without it. Oh, and when the Republicans then blame it on Obama for not vetoing their repeal, of course the Democrats will let them do it. No problem!
