Short-term memory

John Boehner

Notice how Republican principles only apply to Democratic presidents?

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) is talking about suing President Barack Obama for allegedly exceeding his constitutional authority when it comes to administering the laws that Congress passes.

Boehner has frequently accused Obama of picking and choosing what portions of laws to enforce, sometimes by issuing executive orders. That is particularly so for health care and immigration. Spokesman Michael Steel says the Ohio Republican told members of the GOP rank-and-file a lawsuit is possible, but didn’t provide details.

Steel also noted the House has passed legislation on two occasions attempting to rein in Obama’s actions, but the Democratic-controlled Senate has refused to act on them.

One thought on “Short-term memory

  1. (Bow’-ner, n., drunkard) Why does the media so often focus on the meaningless shiny objects in politics rather then what really matters? Have you noticed that the war talk has all but disappeared for example? Why is that? Ted Cruz is a shiny object. As is Sarah Palin. The Koch brothers on the other hand warrant constant media scrutiny because they’re dangerous men. The American people are “stupid” just like Mr. Pizza said last weekend. But not by choice. They’re stupid because that’s the way the 1% wants it.
