President Obama called Boehner at 10:45 this morning to reiterate his position

[BluegrassStateBlues]

Sam Stein @samsteinhp

Boehner spox says Obama "called the speaker again today to reiterate that he won't negotiate on a government funding bill or debt limit"

1. Why Is He Even Calling. In "Boner's" Eyes That Is A Victory.

[pnwmom]

2. So Obama can say they talked. It's not a victory for Boehner.n/t

[BlueCaliDem]

5. Exactly!

Even the president understands that corporate media are trying very hard to turn this Republican Shutdown into a "gridlock of Congress" situation in order to offer cover for their preferred political party's lackeys.

This was a masterful move by the president since Boehner, for all his "we need to negotiate!" caterwauling, hasn't even tried to call the president.

Hey Boney, I won't play games on paying our debts, CLICK!

I'm sure Boehner broke out the hard liquor to cope with that message.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

12. Looks like you were first to envision this call

Too funny.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Broke out?

I'm sure the bottle is on his desk at all times. Easy access you know.

8. Boner: "All he has to do is call"

"He knows what my phone number is. All he has to do is call.”

And he did. Ball's in your court Boner.

Okay you owe me a new keyboard.

9. "Good morning, John.

So I hear you're dressing up as Newt Gingrich for Halloween. Don't bother coming by the White House for "trick or treat. Michelle's handing out soy crackers and apples. By the way, jackass, it's still your move." CLICK.

19. Boehner isn't sober until noon

then it starts all over again at 2 o'clock.

[backscatter712]

21. He has sober moments?

I thought he was all the way into maintenance-alcoholism territory!

I imagine Bohner doesn't go anywhere without his hip flask.

[Erose999]

24. His gavel is filled with rum.

[thecrow]

30. Yeah, that's when he cries.

Then he starts up again. Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

[BlueStreak]

34. If you had to deal with the teabaggers?

wouldn't you be a drunk too?

Of course Boehner was a drunk long before there was ever a Tea Party.

[TheCowsCameHome]

35. More likely somber than sober.........

[Erose999]

23. He called at 8am too, but Agen Orange doesn't get up until the bars open at noon.

26. "Morning, John. I'd like to you to meet my new negotiator."
