Wow - John Boehner is Impressive!

As we all know, before Broom Hilda conceded the power of the gavel to John Boehner today, she hogged the limelight for ten minutes for a swan song.    Marking the occasion with symbolism, she ginned up quite a whopper for her final press conference:  "At her final press conference as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, "Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go." 


Is that not unbelievable?   She also said she would continue working for the 'middle class'.   As far as I'm concerned, the only thing she's ever done for the 'middle class' is worked to siphon more money out of our pay checks and cut services we're entitled to to give free stuff to people who were too lazy  and addicted to pull themselves up by their bootstraps to earn them.  

Who are we to look a gifthorse in the mouth, but...are there really 175 dems that are so afraid of her that they really voted for the woman who torpedoed in two years what it took the democrats 12 years to build?

Today was a day marked with faith, prayer, humility and hope.  I haven't paid much attention to John Boehner's career but from what I've seen of him these last few weeks, I really like him.  

"In the Catholic faith, we enter into a season of service by having ashes marked on our head," Boehner said in his remarks. "The ashes remind us that life in all of its forms is very fragile, our time on this Earth fleeting. But as the ashes are delivered, we hear those humbling words: Remember, you are dust and to dust you shall return.  "The American people have humbled us. . . . They've reminded us that everything here is on loan from them. That includes this gavel, which I accept cheerfully and gratefully, knowing that I am but its caretaker."

It's going to be an interesting few years.  Buckle up.    :O)

Speaking of John Boehner

CMR has quite an edifying press release sent out by Boehner in response to five Dems promising to gum up the repeat of Obamacare.


Senators Reid, Durbin, Schumer, Murray and Stabenow:
Thank you for reminding us – and the American people – of the backroom deal that you struck behind closed doors with ‘Big Pharma,’ resulting in bigger profits for the drug companies, and higher prescription drug costs for 33 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D, at a cost to the taxpayers of $42.6 billion.
The House is going to pass legislation to repeal that now. You’re welcome.

Love it.

This is exactly the kind of confidence and courage (and humor) we need to oust the remaining socialist tyrants out of office.
