Obama determined to destroy the GOP according to GOP Congressional leadership. Always remember, what goes around, comes around.



 From The Hill:  Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he believes the primary goal of President Obama’s second term is to “annihilate the Republican Party.” 

“Given what we heard yesterday about the president’s vision for his second term, it’s pretty clear to me that he knows he can’t do any of that as long as the House is controlled by Republicans,” Boehner said in a speech Tuesday to The Ripon Society. “So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party.

“And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal — to just shove us into the dustbin of history.”

Boehner’s remarks referred to Obama’s inaugural address. Republicans were hopeful the president would use that speech to lay the groundwork for a partnership over the next four years, but he instead made it a rallying cry for an active federal government — including on such politically charged issues as climate change, gun control, gay marriage and immigration.

The Republican leader ripped the president for not taking the country’s deficits seriously, and said the failure of the "fiscal cliff" talks last year reflected the president's refusal to face facts on the budget.

“In our meetings before Christmas, the president was so tired of me talking about when we were going to deal with an entitlement crisis that he looked at me and said: ‘Boehner, we don’t have a spending problem. We have a  healthcare problem.’ It gives you some idea of the challenge that we’re facing,” Boehner said.  <<<  read the full article at The Hill. 

Editor’s notes:  understand that Obama has increased the national debt 60% “all by his lonesome.”  He is on pace to double it,  before his time is finished,  in 2016.  In light of that fact,  to argue that “we don’t have a spending problem”  is more than stupid.  He is averaging a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit, each year.  The Bush baseline for deficit spending was 440 billion.  It would take Bush spending habits,  three years to match what Obama over-spends in a single year.  That is how quickly we are headed for the proverbial “cliff,”  and this increase in spending, is all on Obama.
