This is a family-friendly blog, so I have to edit slightly the comments of House Minority Leader John Boehner on Senator Obama:
“Now, listen, I’ve voted ‘present’ two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn’t feel like I should vote,” Boehner said. “In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means ‘yes,’ red means ‘no,’ and yellow means you’re a chicken sh[]t. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button.”
UPDATE: Boehner spokesman Don Seymour, er, clarifies: “Boehner’s point was that Barack Obama consistently avoided making tough decisions and taking tough votes, and voters need to know that. You can’t take a pass on a tough issue when you’re President of the United States.”
Let me translate Seymour for Smith: “He said it. Deal.”

PS: Yeah, yeah, how horrible it is that we can’t concentrate on the issues. Whatever. After all, it’s not like we can get a straight answer from Obama on any.

A leader is defined by many things and his decision making is key…no yellow buttons in the White House, the stakes are high.

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Friday, October 31st at 10:51PM EST (link)About flippin’ time, I’d say. Thank you Representative Boehner.
A bit of advice to you, Congressman: Take Don Seymour out of the picture and look the cameras straight in the lenses and the American people straight in the eyes and say it again and again and again. Shout it from the mountaintops if you can.
If I remember right, the words Senator Obama used were “Say it to my face”.
OK, Senator Obama: This private citizen will say it to your face (if he could in person, not one word would be different) . . . and I’m not anonymous on the internet either, so I’ll say it here and now.
With all due respect sir, your philosophies and ideas for our country will result in the elimination in the most important thing in human existence: Freedom. Multiple freedoms, at that and I’m not talking about anything legislated either – it’s in the spirit.
I am convinced that you will stand by and watch as Israel and Jews are eliminated world wide. I believe that almost immediately on taking office, you will decimate the military branches of the United States because of your hatred for what you mistakenly think we are about as a country.
I fully believe that you and your supporters will knowingly and willingly incite a race war if you are not elected to become POTUS.
While I believe you are a good father to your children, I truly believe you are borderline evil when it comes to your beliefs regarding our own in terms of education and whatever this “civilian volunteer security force” of yours is to be.
I can go on, but I want to watch the replay of tonight’s NASCAR Truck Race that a fine American won (Ron Hornaday in the 33).
Oooooh, I just made a grave mistake, I showed my hand. That’s right, I’m one of “them”, a NASCAR fan……….I’m also Jewish and how “my people” could ever consider you a friend is completely beyond my comprehension.
If you lose the election (and I pray to God multiple times per day that you do), I also pray that you will have the common decency to step down as a United States Senator and apologize to the American People for bringing us closer to the edge than we’ve ever been.

It’s gonna take awhile to decompress after this one. Regardless.

There's something you can try for a bit of decompression....
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Friday, October 31st at 11:29PM EST (link)…..if you’re by yourself, I’d recommend a wee bit of Crown Royal Cask 16 over a few ice cubes in a nice glass, take a deep breath or two, watch the sunset.
If you’re married and/or have children, give the wife and/or kids a hug for no reason. I’ve heard that works too. I don’t have a wife or any kids, so this second theory can’t be proved by me.
Cheers !

I am sure John Boehner saw it!
izoneguy (Diary) Friday, October 31st at 11:55PM EST (link)Great video…like the clucking chickens.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Oh, you know some...
Husker (Diary) Saturday, November 1st at 12:12AM EST (link)race baiting sycophant from the Obamamedia will cite the chicken as a subliminal racial slur. Mark my words, or gird your loins, or whatever the heck Joe Biden says.
that would be dog fighting (remember M. Vic?)
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, November 1st at 12:24AM EST (link)guess this would be a Latino slur. As dumb as it would be, wouldn’t put it passed ‘em floatin’ it.

Great post.
seattle_ite Saturday, November 1st at 4:24AM EST (link)Fine points, all. Clarity of purpose doesn’t come as an adjunct duty of your position; it’s what the position is meant to preserve. We need more leaders with the guts to say it straight. GO JOHN!
You're right, if not in experience.

Charles Cianfrocca (Diary) Friday, March 19th at 11:13AM EST (link)I plan to be on the mall on Tax day. But there is a larger picture to see, if only for the sake of being ready for anything. As I said, Zero is no ordinary terrible president. The battle he brings is without precedent, and the stakes are not just everything we have as Americans, but rather everything we have as humans.
I didn’t mean that the local battle (by local I mean the American political battle) should be abandoned. But there is more to see, and it matters very much that we see it.
