Boehner sets new standard for disrespect — the House "important" agenda revealed.

So Rachel Maddow is the one to show us what disrespecting the "boy king" is like?
I guess it takes one to know one.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Apparently you did not hear Maddow call Obama "the boy king". If Maddow wants to show others as disrespecting the President she herself should not do it.

Here Lloyd for your own ears and eyes. I am sure you will defend her, but if someone on the right were to say the same thing you and William would be all over them as racist.
Maddow is not some uneducated person. Maddow is a highly educated person with a Rhodes scholar and a PhD in Politics. Maddow has years of radio broadcasting experience to boot. So the slip of the tongue is highly suspicious, but you go ahead and believe what you want.
To me I have to wonder if Maddow believes her stature as a liberal gives her the liberty to say these comments.

Emily she was refering to his age. Get a grip. There are real issues out there this isnt one of them.

Not an excuse just saying what I thought from my perspective. and I am probably younger than both of you so you can call me a girl anytime.

And compared to McCain yes he was that young. But then compared to McCain Reagan was a young whippersnapper.

You wont find any arguement from me on that.

By the comments above we see exactly why we are in the mess we are in.

It will take all to come together and vote in people that are willing to do the work that needs to be done with out bring the attitude there are two sides.

WE ARE ALL AMERICANS

Robert, have you ever seen a President who reached across party lines as Barack Obama has done? Every time he extended hand he was greeted with a clenched fist.

Robert there's a reason why Democrats want him to be tougher on Republicans. They plain and simply don't want the country to be united. They believe a divided country is the only way they can weasel their way back into the White House.

Maybe some day we'll all be treated like we're Americans.

I hope so.

Right on Lloyd.

I remember distinctly where the President told Republicans "elections have consequences" after the big summit on healthcare. Then the President and the Democrats voted in the bill without one Republican idea and no input. That to me is not extending a hand.
This occurred shortly after the Democrats and Obama voted in the failed stimulus bill. Once again without any Republican input.
In 2010 the election we had a landslide election of Republicans in the House, Senate, state legislatures and Governors. Now the Republicans are bringing forth their ideas and the President does not want admit elections have consequence.
That is not reaching across party lines.
Say what you want, but if you look back on the votes under Clinton and then under Bush you will see crossing over the political lines to vote in major bills. Under Bush both tax cuts, the Iraqi War Resolution, and many other bills were passed with bipartisan support. That is reaching across the party lines. The votes under Obama have not.
But the biggest problem I can see is you want to say Boehner showed disrespect, but the President did not see it that way. Neither did the VP as people could easily see before the Obama speech. However, people on both sides believe the rhetoric and do not want to see how the real issue is not the Republicans or the Democrats. Or the liberals or the conservatives.
The real issue is the elites in the ruling class. No matter what party both are out to keep their seats rather than do what is best for the country. After all the rhetoric the average people are at each others throats while the elected elites live together in their little world of Washington.
Obama is no different than Bush or Clinton. Neither is Pelosi any different than Boehner.

You poor delusional child! If you cannot, or will not see the difference in the a fore mentioned, you have serious issues of comprehension, basic auditory and visual understanding of sociological and civic issues.

Step away from the computer and mingle with a variety of people if you can leave your innate bias at home.

An unsuccessful attempt to change the subject.

The GOP gains in the 2010 elections weren't exactly a landslide. They gained control of the House and increased the size of their minority in the Senate. It's not an unusual outcome in a midterm election. It's definitely not the sort of election result that any reasonable person would call a mandate.

"shortly after the Democrats and Obama voted in the failed stimulus bill"

Couple of errors of fact.

1. The results of the stimulus bill weren't as dramatic as hoped, but the Congressional Budget Office and most of the economists who've evaluated the results say that the stimulus mitigated the recession. Things would have been much worse without it.

2. Obama doesn't get to vote in Congress. The vice president can cast tie breaker votes in the Senate but the president has no vote.

The Republican party has become an embarrassment.

Even more than it ever was since AuH20.

I doubt very much the communist party of the USA would have much to do with the Democrats.

I guess Boehner didn't like being out-maneuvered on the debt -ceiling debacle. These politicians all seem to be idiots... are they really the best we have? If so, we're f**ked!

Thank you posting to the Triple Name Club.

Thanks William !

Wonderful VIDEO of MSNBC, the pettiness of John Boehner : How the U. S. House of Representatives turned down the President because they had to approve two insignificant unimportant bills about small sports events like jogging and congratulating some sport girls of North Carolina !

Wow !

How Republicans despise the President of the United States. Narrow-mindedness and Littleness. - There is something about this president that turns Republicans into masters of disrespect.

What is it ??
..

You just get funnier with each passing comment. President Obama won the election decisively and has treated everyone else with a great deal of respect. What more is required, and from who? There are some people from which respect is really irrelevant. Others wouldn't know respect if it bit them. Are you in that category?

The President dissed for a rollcall vote on Special Olympics using a venue is not tolerable, no matter what party is doing it. There is a loss of respect for office. It would be wrong for the Dems to do it to the GOP as well. It is a new low in national civility.

Hi William, just catching up and wanted to say 2 words: Nullification and Obstructionism. Both make GOP attempts at defense irrelevant.

True that.
