John Boehner Posts Cringe-Worthy List Using TAYLOR SWIFT Pics To Attack Obama Community College Plan
House speaker John Boehner has employed an unusual tactic in his latest salvo against Obama - pictures of Taylor Swift. Boehner (R-Ohio) illustrated an argument attacking the President's plan to fund community college fees for some students by imagining the pop sensation's reaction.
In an article posted to his speaker.gov website, Boehner tried to turn voters against the scheme by showing a 'disappointed' Swift falling out of love with the plan. While the excitable singer starts out being thrilled by the idea, the 12-part 'listicle' then shows her furious at the funding implications of the plan - which Boehner's staff say will cost taxpayers $60billion.
The authors, members of Boehner's staff, then observe: 'Not even all the Taylor Swift album sales in the world would cover that bill.' Continuing with a punning Swift reference, the next picture is captioned: 'Still, 60 billion dollars is a lot of money...you can't just shake it off.' She is later shown applauding Republican suggestions for helping people by cutting tax - and reforming early education with unspecified reforms.
It is unclear what Swift would make of being used to make a political point. She refused to say who she would vote for in the last presidential election, despite intense speculation. A Myspace post from 2008 on her page reportedly said 'Republicans do it better' - but she has since expressed support for issues, such as gay marriage, which align much more closely with the Democrats.
