Speaker Boehner is right. Obama is worried about his re-election and he has a good reason to. The economy he has created is in shambles and his non executive experience and his flawed ideology has proven that he is in over his head and can't lead unlike someone like Governor Sarah Palin who can. Obama is putting himself first over the American people. This was evident over the weekend when he tried to snooker Speaker Boehner and the American people by wanting more tax increases than what was agreed too. It's been over 800 days and Obama has yet to submit a plan to rid the country of the deficit for the American people. Again, not one plan. Here again, this is what Sarah Palin was warning the American voters about when it pertained to him during the 08 election and she has not let up. Having executive experience dealing with budgets is the key. It's obvious, if Obama attended economics, he sure didn't learn anything. I applaud Boehner for speaking out and standing up to this usurper.
Speaker Boehner: President Obama 'worried about his next election' - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
Excerpt:
Boehner also criticized President Obama for recommending a debt ceiling deal be timed to last beyond the next election season.
“The president’s worried about his next election, but my God, shouldn't we be worried about the country?” Boehner said. “I'm not worried about the next election. I told the president months ago: Forget about the next election!”
The administration though has indicated that the debt ceiling should be raised at least through 2012, in order to take politics out of the negotiation.
The president said in his speech Friday evening that he would be willing to work on “any plans” that lawmakers brought him over the weekend. “The only bottom line that I have is that we have to extend this debt ceiling through the next election, into 2013,” President Obama said.
A GOP leadership aide indicated Saturday that Republicans would fight back if the president threatened to veto a debt limit increase because it conflicted with the election calendar.
