Tongue-in-cheek Boehner refers to Dems' tax cut vote as 'chicken crap'
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/131671-tongue-in-cheek-boehner-refers-to-dems-tax-cut-vote-as-chicken-crap

Speaker-designate John Boehner (R-Ohio) called the House Democrats' vote on extending certain tax breaks "chicken crap" on Thursday.

"I"m trying to catch my breath so I don't refer to this maneuver going on today as chicken crap, all right," the top-ranking House Republican quipped sarcastically, "but this is nonsense! We're 23 months from the next election and the political games have already started trying to set up the next election.

"We have an honest conversation at the White House about the challenges that we face to get out of here. ... and to roll this vote out today it really is just ... it's what you think I was going to say," he said.

Moments earlier the House voted to move on to general debate of a tax cut measure that would extend current rates, set to expire at the end of the month, to individuals making less than $250,000.

(END SNIP)

So, that's what Boner thinks of the American Middle Class and their tax break - Chicken poo.

3. He needs to sit down and shut up until the new Congress is seated in January.
This is still the Congress we elected in 2010 and they have work yet to do.
