(6,440 posts)Does Boehner have a string in his chest that you pull to make him talk?
I'm guessing that the repetition of talking points and that off-flesh-tone orange coloration should have been our clues that he's merely a robot with the "Chatty Kathy" pull cord. Now it's so obvious... and very late for all of us.

PS. It then struck me that the correct question to ask Boehner would have been:
We know your top priority is on NRCC fundraising but is there anything else your focusing on?

(769 posts)He is very vidnictive to Benghazi victims' families. They asked them to move on. They asked them to not capitalize on this tragic event. They asked them to not politicize the event. They asked them not to conduct fundraiser of any kinds relate to Benghazi. They asked them to forgive and learn more from this event to build better security. They asked them to honor victims (not single Republican has honor them).
One thing that has been frighten me, as of this very moment, I can guarantee you all that despite for two years, none of Republicans will be able to remember all of victims' full names. They can only remember one or two, maybe three.

(6,699 posts)Honestly, he is perfect for showing the entire world just how pathetic and low this country has sunk when it comes to leading the once proud nation of leaders. It's good proof of just exactly why this country can't move forward.
When you have leadership like this orange clown and Turtle-head mcConnel, along with Gohmert, Cruz, Bachmann, Closet-clinger Graham, mcGrumpy, Issa, and 95% of southern Dixie-flag waving hillbillies; it's a wonder we are as far as we are...yet.

Sir Ronnie the actor..."b-grade", mind you.

Make them arrive 30 mins a day early and answer questions directly to Americans.
We 'the people' elected YOU Boehner, to work in OUR Gov.
