http://thehill.com/homenews/house/247635-boehner-blames-obama-for-immigration-inaction"Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) is putting the blame for Congress's failure to move immigration reform squarely on the shoulders of President Obama.
The House Speaker said he's been pushing immigration reform since he took the gavel four years ago, but the president has "poisoned the well" with his executive actions on the issue.
"He's stirred up the American people in such a way that it would almost be impossible to do immigration reform, given the environment that we're dealing with," Boehner said on CBS's "Face the Nation" program, which aired Sunday morning.
"I want to do immigration reform and the president knows it. I asked the president about a year ago, gave him some ideas about things that should happen if he wanted to do immigration reform, and some things that he shouldn't do," he added. "Well, the president didn't take my advice. And he doubled down on the executive orders that, frankly, far exceeded his authority, and the courts have got him stopped.
"He's really poisoned the well."
========================================================
So. let me get this straight you drunk "effing" asshat! It was the "President" that poisoned the well? Sure
I guess in a way, Boehner may be telling the truth. Maybe he was all ready to pass comprehensive immigration reform before the "shit-kickers" in his base got their panties in a wad. But, then again, this is a guy who can't even get enough of his members onboard to block the unfurling of the Confederate "hate-flag".
In the Navy, we would call Boehner a "waste of skin".
Kind of feel sorry for him. His party created the insufferable hatred and bigotry of the "Tea-Baggers", and now he's got to make sure he provides them care and feeding.
Has there ever been a more worthless excuse for a human being than "effing" John Boehner?

That idiot lives in upside down bizarro world.
It is patently obvious which party hates immigrants and the undocumented, and it's not POTUS or his party.

For the last 6-1/2 years that is all the fucking republicans have done is blame Obama for everything that has happened since and before he was elected.

asked for a non-binding resolution stating that "Water is wet", Boehner would get killed by his base if he allowed it to pass.
