What's even better, he is calling on the President to fire Treasury Secretary Geithner and Economic Advisor Larry Summers. Two people, who have strong personalities and a measure of culpability for the 2007-2008 economic collapse, who know a whole lot more about economic policy than Boehner and Eric Cantor.
The best line from Boehner's speech this morning:
“It’s time to put grown-ups in charge,... I’ve also told my girls how I was raised to never accept the next best thing for myself or my country.”Words to live by and good advice. I'm just wondering who are the grown-ups Boehner's talking about? If Boehner thinks the recycled GOP Economy Wrecking Agenda (that killed millions of American jobs) is better than the emergency measures the Obama Administration (lets not forget, with Republican support) and Democrats implemented, then he needs to check his cigarettes to see if someone switched his brand for something more exotic.

It seems as though Ruth Marcus at the Washington Post is thinking the same way:

ReplyDeleteIt seems the GOP and House Minority Leader (wannabe Speaker of the House) John Boehner might come up a little short if the slate of Tea Party Candidates continue act like, well, Tea Party Candidates and not Republicans.
ReplyDeleteSo, what's up with the French Senate passing the anti-burqa law? Doesn't that go against the whole concept of Free Expression?
