Boehner: Obama "Chicken Shit" For Voting Present

Politico:

House minority leader John Boehner's spokesman confirms the accuracy of this quote, from an Ohio student newspaper:

"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 s***.

"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."

Thank GOD for Obama. FINALLY we will nuke those Iranians. Obama had independent s and conservatives worried about how he would handle those who want to destroy us...but now it is clear with his appointment of Rahem Emanul--whose father was seriously part of the movement to protect Isreal during its creation...Iran had better want to come to the table and talk to Obama. Can someone send me a yard sign ...
(Wikipedia) His first name, Rahm, means "high" or "lofty" in Hebrew, while his last name, Emanuel, means "God is with us." His Jerusalem-born father was a former member of the Irgun, a militant Israeli organization ...

not surprised as this guy's obsessed by sh*t-he looks very constipated

Boehner is the biggest hypocrite in Congress. He is the one who can cry on cue and the one who sucks up to Christian fascism daily. Why would he assume that ANYONE cares what HE thinks?

I always think of John Boehner in terms of "Slick" short for oil slick-He is so far down in Big Oil's pocket that he hasn't seen daylight in 8 years. His little escapade during the "Offshore Drilling" Crisis where he stayed in D.C. after Congress left on break is a great example of Boehner's real ability to Represent his District and be a minority House Leader-That and the fact that none of the Rebeling House Republicans on the Bailout would go along with him! Boehner is going to have a tough go if Obama is elected!

Unfortunately, this guy accurately represents his constituency. I should know, I grew up there. My poor mother still lives there, a lone Democrat surrounded by Boehner and McCain signs. I love visiting her with the Obama bumper stickers on my car!

Did HuffPost run the piece a few weeks ago, after the $700B bailout bill, where Boehner's office was sealed off by HASMAT folks because of a "suspicious terroristic" package he received? Turned out somebody mailed him a slice of bacon.

How much hate can one party engender??? They have no shame, NONE! He knows O has a very good chance of becoming his president, the leader of the free world come Tues., and he chooses to openly refer to him as a "chicken shi*t???" I need a shower. How sad that a person of such political prominence would stoop so low, be so petty, so infantile. Just wondering if Mr. Boehner shed his usual hankie full of tears when he uttered these words; the man's unstable.

This guy is c------ s---!

Another true leader for the HATE PARTY. There's alot of names we could call this guy, by just using his last name, but I'm sure he has heard them all. What a JERK!

have these people no shame?

[brwnizofmine]

We'll see who is chicken dung in two days.

[pleasure2004]

Fred Flintstone with a tan needs to stop calling our future president names!

[Tinsdale]

Well, isn't that the McCain callling the Obama black? *shaking my head*

I can only hope Boehner joins the dodo in this years elections. Incidentally, I feel this type of
language is totally inappropiate, between members of congress. One can disagree without
name calling and calumny..
