Boehner has no clue, he has no control of his caucus. we'll get you his statement in just a moment about what he released today, did not come out and talk about it. he put it out in a release statement. and it's all tea party garbage. so where are we? we're just the taxpayers. we're just the american people that just have to put up with this obstruction. liberals, we have the facts on our side. we have the president who we have elected and re-elected. this is about hate and it's now at your doorstep. this is about trying to make this president be viewed in the history of this country as a man ...
