John Boehner: I'm suing President Obama

[aztlanwarrior]

Obama is not my favorite president but if congress actually did something instead of trying to block the president from doing anything, he wouldn't have to use so much executive power. We the people should sue congress for not keeping our best interest at heart.

[rickeymurray]

He said "why do think that is necessary and what do you hope to achieve?" That was pretty clear. Not inaudible.

[srercrcr]

What????  Boehner is going to do something????  OMG!!!!

[mguapo]

Boehner will go down as the worst puppet of all time.

[BravoSixGoingDark]

Now its time to sue Trump over use of executive actions!

[pfqueen]

so when is Boehner going to start doing real work?

[digitalWinds]

This is a perfect reason I consider current Republican leaders a horrible and anti-American politicians. I invite disagreement and debate, but this kind of disrespect is intolerable.

conservatives trying to impeach obama since 2008 lol..

Obama and Boehner were on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but they both treated each other with respect. Boehner was majority leader during a tough time historically for the Republican party. A deal was made on Obamacare, and then the fringe tea party movement started gaining political momentum. Once these so called tea party Republicans began to gain seats in Congress, Boehner was forced into an uncomfortable situation. He had already established a good working relationship with the Democratic President Obama, however his constituency and tea party Republicans became increasingly bitter and hostile because he was seen as a moderate. To appease his constituency and the tea party Republicans, Boehner had to appear to be, for lack of a better word, an asshole to the President. In private however, Boehner and Obama still tried to work with one another. Unfortunately, with Boehner resigning at the end of 2015 it's a blow to the notion of bipartisanship in the government as Boehner was one of the few remaining moderate Republicans.

Won't you run the country instead of blaming Obama. We have people who cannot eat

[angel_machariel]

That lawsuit isn't going anywhere.

[rob]

Typical American thing to do, lawsuit, you people love it don't you?!

[CFthorin]

WAIT does this mean Obama can sue boehner as well if Obama thinks boehner isnt doing his job?

[leapingcat]

Laughable.  They cant lay a glove on him.

[Wyndwalkyr]

Boner is just trying to avoid ending up like Eric Cantor.  He has to put on a show.

[pistolpete]

Republicans crack me up.  They act like they've never heard of or used an executive order.  Google that shit.  Both Bush's and Reagan loved to use that executive order.  Where were the lawsuits then.  What a joke!

[emmask]

Rather than suing the President, why not use your effort to propose a solution?  Since nothing has come from Congress, then an Executive action is a step in the right direction.

[randomcrap]

Remember when we thought Boehner was the worst the Republican Party had to offer

[xWOLF]

inaudible: and what you hope to achieve?

[Laura-piht]

You tried John, I pray God gives us mercy.  Your right America did deserve better.
