Gabrielle Giffords' Husband Blasts John Boehner

[old navy]

Obama is a member of Congress? Had no idea.

He was a member of Congress the same time she was.

Obama was never a member of Congress.

Don't know much about bicameralism, huh?

Giffords should not be in Congress. She should step down because her brain has been penetrated by a bullet. It will affect her decision making from now on.

Well, she is still smarter and more human than the House Tea-Tards.

You aren't very smart. How many times did Pelosi visit her? All this flux out rage over Bohner without knowing who has and hasn't visited her

The inference was Obama was a congressional rep, same as Gabby Giffords was.

I should have said Member of the House of Rep. Obviously it's a semantical and honorific term -- often people refer to "members of congress and senators."

But hey, too-shay.

Clearly, you know nothing about brain injuries.

not so fast, i think usarmyrewired knows a lot about brain injuries.

Who gives a shit?....He needs to get over his sensitivity BS.

You're right. A man should never have any kind of sensitivity regarding his wife, her well being, or anything like that.

Boehner did nothing wrong.

Well that would be a straw man. Nobody here, and certainly not Mr. Kelly, seems to be saying that Boehner did anything wrong. It would appear that the complaint is that the Speaker wasn't sufficiently concerned for his taste.

...He said very nice things about her, and offered his symapathy and prayers in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

In other words, standard, cookie-cutter, political fare.

He sent her a fuckin' card.

Oh, well then of course he sincerely cared that she was nearly killed.

Nothing more is required of him.

You're right. Nothing requires him to even send the card. But nobody here is talking about what is REQUIRED of him. The question is whether his actions demonstrate a genuine concern for the well being of, and respect for, his colleague in the House, as the Speaker thereof.

It was a far bigger slap in the face when Obama dissed our wounded troops in Germany to attend a fuckin' party.

I would have to disagree. We're talking about two people who personally work together in Congress, as opposed to people with whom Obama is not probably acquainted. After all, it would be unreasonable to expect the President to come visit each and every single member of the armed forces who is wounded.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' husband came out swinging against House Speaker John Boehner over his decision not to visit the injured congresswoman.

In the couple's new joint memoir, "Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope", Mark Kelly expressed his disappointment in Boehner's efforts to check in on Giffords.

"Considering that she was a member of Congress and he was the highest-ranking member, we thought he'd ask to visit Gabby or at least give a call to see how she was doing," Kelly writes, via The Hill. "Our only contact with him had been a simple get-well card he'd sent a few days after Gabby was injured."

i didn't even send a card

 

[Inthemiddle]

Poor sap couldn't bring in the cameras so he said forget it, i'm goin' to a party.....Screw that sorry bastard!

It's appalling that you can say that when quoting articles that affirmatively reject and disprove such a claim.

And I bet 90% of the democrat congress and senate didn't visit her either, so who really gives a rats ass? I dont. It was a shameful thing what happened to her, but just because it happened doesn't mean she is owed a visit by anybody.

Boner was too busy trying to restrict female reproductive rights.

You worded that wrong, he was too busy protecting human life and the rights for a baby to have life. Nowhere in the constitution does it say someone has a right to destroy a human life, but it does say in the declaration of independence that we have a right to "LIFE".

We deal with them daily by the leftwing posters on this board though, so in some way we all know a little about them.

What's your excuse?

He never said Obama was a member of congress. You implied that he did though. Obama as the president and the leader of the Democratic party was what he was getting at.

And you base that on what proof or facts other than assumption?

You gotta love the title there "Urges Americans not to turn on each other" all the while creating hate and discontent with class warefare.

And we're supposed to give a shit, becauuuuuussssssseeeeeee?

Because it distracts everyone away from the real issues, Obamas failed policies and the Democrats destruction of our financial system in less than a 3 year period.

 

[grunt11b]

And? You would expect a liberal democrat NOT to be critical of a conservative republican at any and every opportunity? It would be the same if the roles were reversed, except that you democrats would be squealing louder....

Boehner is far from being a conservative, a real conservative would not have golfed with Obama but instead would have taken a rain check until after 2012.

Why is Giffords the only dem the right is nice to?
