Boehner is desperately trying to change the subject, and little Luke is doing his level best to help, and all you libruls can do is remember stuff, like that the House Republicans promised, promised, promised, pinky swore, crossed-their-heart-and-hoped-to-die, that 2011 and 2012 were going to be all about jobs.

After all, it's a branch of government, a bicameral body defined in the Constitution. Yes, perhaps the House of Representatives could fulfill it's Constitutional mandate and introduce legislation! And that legislation could facilitate the expenditure of government revenues to promote the general welfare for ourselves and our posterity.

Naaaaaaahhh!

Your party is the one that has said its "top priority" is obstructing and defeating Obama, rather than helping the country.

Republicans are masters at projection.
