BREAKING- Boehner Gives Low Grade To Obama's 100 Days

[underpants]

Source: CBS News

For the first time in years, the majority of Americans believe the country is heading in the right direction, according to an Associated Press poll released today. Their spirits have apparently been bolstered by President Barack Obama's whirlwind first 100 days in office. But House Minority Leader John Boehner, as can be expected, does not share their view.

Where others see cause for hope and optimism, the top House Republican sees only taxes and spending.

"I think if you look at the first 100 days you can sum it up pretty simply: spending, taxing, borrowing, and ducking the hard choices," said Boehner. "The Democrat policies, you know, like raising taxes on everyone in the middle of a recession, is going to hurt our economy and hurt jobs in America."

"The American people want us to work together, Democrats and Republicans, to -- to deal with the issues that -- that they're confronting every day," said Boehner.

Boehner wouldn't say if Mr. Obama got a passing grade on his first months in office, stopping short of assigning a letter mark. But he did say this: "the grade would not be very good."

1. Boner gets a "D" ... for "Delusional".

:eyes:

[underpants]

7. Maybe he will issue a glossy 19 page report with no specifics

but I doubt it-he is too busy backpedaling and covering for saying "torture" in public

:bounce:

[Lucky Luciano]

23. or "Dickhead" nt

[Dr.Phool]

36. Nah. Give him an "F" for Fuckwad.

I give Boner a failing grade for his entire life.

Sub-zero for the last 100 days.

[obiwan]

56. Yep, I agree. John Boehner is a fuckwad.

[indepat]

24. And Ds for dishonest, disingenuous, dichotomous, dolt-like,

dumb-ass :P

[GiveMeFreedom]

42. I disagree with your grade Professor,

Boner gets an "F" for fucking things up. I am personally disgusted with Bone-Head and the republicans overall.

[DesertDiamond]

48. I was thinking D for "Duh." Of course the republicans want to see Pres. Obama as a failure.

The only thing that bothers me is when some well-meaning people mistake statements from these people as sincere criticism, instead of the play for power that they really are.

[edbermac]

53. I'd give him an 'A'

Asshole.

[Cha]

67. You're too kind..I give him

a F for Fucked Up.

[wordpix]

78. How quickly Bonehead forgets it was BushCo & repukes that gave us the $10 trillion debt before O

was elected :grr:

[Wetzelbill]

2. Now that is a good sign things are going in the right direction

If the GOP thinks it's bad, well it's probably the right way to go.

[polichick]

3. LOL - guess those were some long days for "Just Say No Boehner"

[Forkboy]

4. Did the Dim Weeper cry over it?

[bobburgster]

20. Haha

That's good!

[Zynx]

5. Raising taxes on "everyone"? He means raising taxes on about 1%?

Apparently John Boehner has a narrow definition of "everyone".

[Jackpine Radical]

25. "Everyone"=everyone who matters, i.e. his political contributors.

He's a fucken Republican.

[rfranklin]

32. Republicans have successfully convinced millions of...

working class Americans that they are amongst those top one-tenth of one percent and that affirmative action for black people isthe reason that there are no good paying jobs.

[Jackpine Radical]

69. And they've convinced a lot of working-class Americans

that the real problem with America is the outrageously high wages of working class Americans, while the executive bonuses are justified.

Un fucken believable.

[The Wizard]

61. From the perspective of the Boner

There's his class and no one else counts.
What a douche bag.

[jpak]

6. BREAKING- Boehner IS "Low Grade"

:evilgrin:

[underpants]

10. We'll see if this last more than 4 hours

if so we may need to contact a doctor

[yellowcanine]

8. Well bonerman, your opinion actually does not matter. The American people give Obama high ratings.

They matter. You don't.

[Mz Pip]

9. Gee, I didn't see that coming.

:eyes:

All he's been doing since Jan 20 is put his fake tanned hungover mug in front of the camera and whine. :nopity:

[meegbear]

11. Whoa! I did NOT see that one coming ...

I guess I've been living a lie about Obama all this time :-(.

[underpants]

12. "The American people want us to work together, Democrats and Republicans...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8364744

The Cincinnati Enquirer is preparing to rank President Obama’s first hundred days. In doing so they listed how local lawmakers have voted with the President.

* Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio: 100 percent
* Rep. Steve Driehaus, D-Ohio: 86 percent
* Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio: 71 percent
* Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio: 43 percent
* Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.: 41 percent
* Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky.: 24 percent
* Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio: 0 percent
* Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky.: 0 percent
* Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio: 0 percent

[Lucky Luciano]

27. Wow - Voinovich seems sort of reasonable! (Emphasize sort of given he voted down big ones)

Even Mitch McConnell voted with Obama sometimes!

Boehner Davis and Pyscho-Schmidt all bagels - not surprising other than the fact that somebody actually voted to put them in office!

[Chemisse]

46. That is the kind of information

that reveals to voters just who is being negative, obstructionist, and partisan. It also sets the context for whatever they say publicly. I hope such voting records are displayed all over the country.

[underpants]

57. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

13. Boehner should suck a candy bar out of my ass and choke on it.

The world would be a better place: It's a FACT!

[TEXASYANKEE]

14. Raising taxes?

On one of the Sunday shows, I heard another Congresscritter say that Obama was raising taxes on everyone. This must be one of the Repubs' talking points ... along with saying Democrat instead of Democratic.

Until the media talking heads start correcting these Repubs, the lies will simply continue.

[bobburgster]

15. So negative....what else is new

He has been negative from the very first day Obama took office, so what else is new. I'd fall off my chair if I heard something positive out of his mouth.
What really drives me nuts about him is the faux anger and outrage he always tries to display....he can't even do that good.

[mvd]

16. I'll say what my grade would be for Boehner

Epic Fail!

[GiveMeFreedom]

43. Ya,

Boner is going to get

"Pwned"

before it's allover.

[onehandle]

17. The American people, for the most part, don't know who Boehner is.

So his declaration holds little water.

Next.

[OwnedByFerrets]

18. Fantastic news....If the Boner loathes it, it must be good.

[MineralMan]

19. Well, I'd be worried if Boner gave him good marks.

Screw you, Boner.

[ProudDad]

21. Boehner - prounounced "Bon-er" (n/t)

[KamaAina]

22. BREAKING - KamaAina gives low grade to Boner

See me after class.

[BBri]

26. What a twit....

Yes, President Obama is doing what the people voted for. The exact opposite of what the Repugs did. What he should have said is "He's doing a terrible job of keeping everything exactly the same way they were before.".

[liberal N proud]

28. It hasn't even been 100 days and they have made up their mind

But then I suspect they had that done for them by January 20th.

Fucking cry babies.

[quidam56]

39. Right ! How can anyone clean up 8 yrs of deception

in three months ? I am sure Fox News has their talking points ready. Hannity's America sure ain't My America. http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=138 They can say all they want about Bush keeping U.S. safe from another terrorist attack on the "homeland". HELL ! What they are doing in Appalachia is homegrown toxic terrorism. We are being bombed, blasted and bulldozed right into 3rd world America.

[TerribleLarryDingle]

29. BREAKING NEWS!This isn't news at all and isn't even worth discussing.

[indimuse]

40. first thing I thought when I read the OP's headline!

ooohh...now there's news. :eyes:

[KansDem]

52. I thought the same thing...who cares?

Apparently it's what CBS News thinks is news...

[geomon666]

30. Why aren't we calling this pig a liar in every news outlet we can find?

He's flat out lying!

[DFW]

31. Bonehead wouldn't give Obama credit for having his tie on straight

There's no surprise in hearing he finds fault with anything else, either.

[MasonJar]

33. Boehner is at the bottom of the bottom class. Who cares what he says?

[Stellabella]

34. Riiiiight. Like YOU 'worked with Democrats' when you had control.

Hypocrite.

[bowens43]

35. are all cons insane? nt

[Owl]

37. LOL!

:rofl:

[HopeHoops]

38. Well I am just SO shocked!

I expected him to say he danced like a fairy and spread peace and wealth throughout the world.

:sarcasm:

[Joe Chi Minh]

41. What a crushing blow.

[Bette Noir]

44. Who gave this d1ckhead a microphone?

Watching the news, even on "left leaning" MSNBC, one would think that everyone in America hates Obama. No, he has had an approval rating in the 60s since he was inaugurated. The only *legitimate* complaint I've heard against him is that he's taking too long to reverse the damage the Bush regime inflicted on the country.

I'd give Boner an "F."

[Overseas]

45. Well I say it is now time to officially stop calling him Bay-ner and go ahead and say BONER

Or should we say Bonehead?

Basic J-E-R-K at the very least.

[struggle4progress]

47. Time to check a few polls

Now let's summarize! Lots of people have no idea who Boehner is -- and if they know, they mostly don't like him. But most people do know who Obama is -- and they mostly like him. So Boehner naturally concludes -- Obama must be doing something wrong!

[Third Doctor]

49. just wait

Until KO reacts to this.

[sofa king]

50. The people who fucked up our country are disappointed that we would attempt to fix it.

[mulsh]

51. why is this person's opinion of any importance?

seriously, there are few public people more irrelevant than this piece of excrecence.

[katty]

54. precisely! Why? He's a moron-NO ONE is listening!

[shaniqua6392]

55. I think Boner spent way too much time in the tanning bed!

He has melted what little he had left of that pea brain.

[DollyM]

58. Do they forget that Bush started this spending spree?

The first bail out was orchastrated under Bush and gave Banks millions of dollars that they apparently squandered with no oversight. Obama is trying to fix the mess that Bush made but the Republicans can't admit that their "godly leader" Bush made a terrible mess and got our country into incredible debt and walked away.

[L0oniX]

59. Who cares what that jackoff says.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

60. I'm troubled by this revelation.

:scared:

[ohtransplant]

62. Yeah, yeah...sky - blue, water - wet...

Boner resents Our Democratic President. Yada, yada, yada...

Color me surprised.

Is anyone rally fooled by this guy's predictable sour grapes? Cry me a river.

Does anyone else smell desperation?

[burning rain]

63. I don't think Olbermann can even call Boner the worst person for that.

More like the saddest. For Boner to rate policy is like Rush Limbaugh writing a guide to dating!

[Hawkeye-X]

64. Boner gets a double F

Fucking Failure.

[regnaD kciN]

65. BREAKING - wind from Bo(eh)ner's Gluteus Maximus...

As Stephanie Miller so often puts it: "What a Bo(eh)ner!"

[The Stranger]

66. If Boner is the best they can do, I'm loving this.

[Solly Mack]

68. Theatre by Boehner

bad theatre at that

[tigereye]

70. yeah, cleaning up the mess that Bush made - what a terrible thing to do

Boehner's an ass.

[wordpix]

80. Bonehead needs to get out the Big Broom to clean up the elephants' mess

[TankLV]

71. I'm SHOCKED!!! I truely trusted his opinions as a fair and forthright pervayor of truth & judgement

(do I really need a smiley here?!!!)

[rocktivity]

72. Candidate for this year's "You Call This NEWS?" award

By the way, the one hundredth day after the inauguration isn't until April 30. Today is the 93rd day--Bohener's pulled a boner!

:headbang:
rocktivity

[0rganism]

73. the real story is in why this gets reported at all

Why the FUCK is this considered newsworthy? Why is this even published? It's time for a really comprehensive evaluation of the initial quarter of the Obama presidency, and instead we get Boehner spouting his predictable party-line lies.

All around the newsmedia, it's a parade of teabaggers and republican party donors flapping their lips about what a horrible job Obama's doing, for this reason or that reason or whatever kookoo shit they happen to come up with on any given day.

"It's Obama's fault we're in a recession" except that it isn't
"Obama's a socialist fascist commie dictator" except that even if that made sense at all, it isn't true
"Obama caused the pirate attacks" except that he didn't
"Obama won't do anything to help those poor sailors" except that he did
"Obama's taking away our guns" which he isn't
"The country's less safe because of Obama" which has no basis in measurable fact
"Obama's justice department is writing nasty reports about republicans" except that it was bush's DHS
"Obama's taxing us too much" except that they were bush's tax rates again this year

The news media is full of clowns chanting these political mantras as if repetition would make them true. The thinly veiled racism of the right wing is on full parade. The real tragedy is that some psychopathic nutjobs are going to go on killing sprees because of the shit that gets poured into their brains from hate radio every day.

When do we hold the press responsible for its role in allowing -- no, ENABLING the bushistas?

[underpants]

75. As long as everyone is "on message" about their "beliefs" it will be reported as fact

that is what we are dealing with- beliefs and ideology vs. facts. The right is good at three things: everyone being on message, organizing, money--and that is it.

Great post Organism.

[lbrtbell]

74. BREAKING: GOP is now the party of the unhinged

Pretty soon, Glenn Beck will be the most sane person on their side. :rofl:

[Vinca]

76. Give Boner an "F" for fried. Another hour in the tanning booth and that's what he'll be.

Ed Schultz needs to have him on to explain the Republican healthcare plan.:rofl:

[wordpix]

79. Boner's high on his 3 pack-a-day cigarette habit. I WOULD like to see his healthcare plan

:rofl:

[No Elephants]

77. This is CBS's idea of

breaking news?

All I can say is


CBS News

:rofl:

Boehner (pronounced like both bonor and boner)

:rofl:

Ah, good times. That was fun.

Next.

[and-justice-for-all]

81. His party is a living fossil

Bone brain gets an F for Fucking idiot.

[Hugin]

82. Is this where I chime in to say... "Who cares what Boehner thinks?"

:eyes:

[esquire415]

83. Email from a gay Republican at work...

"Hopefully you now realize that you have been sold a bad bill of goods by a really smooth operator. Already 66% (Gallup) of the populace have severe reservations about these stimulus pakages back to back.

Social Security isn't even being mentioned nor is the inherent inflation risk. Lost in all this is a parrallel budget being offered up by Rep. Ryan of Wisconsin which is bad on deficit but still less than half the Obama deficits.......

There is absolutely no defense for this administration. The hated war on terror has now been rebranded as "foreign incursions" Another campaign promise out the window ( I knew he could never deliver but the "intellectual" machinations of the left to stay in love with their boy would be hilariously funny if it weren't so serious).

Check out yesterday's Wall Street Journal for the graphs of the projected deficits ---that can't be rebranded."

[Big_Mike]

84. What a gasbag

The man is an idiot. Who let him out to gibber in public?

[Brother Buzz]

85. That bonehead is the perfect reverse barometer. Cool beans
