John Boehner's press conferences are a joke. CNN just covered the latest one.

He always has pat answers for everything and snipes at the questions. Even reporters who are friendly to him are treated in a sarcastic manner. Whether the subject is funding the government, weapons in Iran or Syria or the debt he always says, "I'm not going to speculate." "We'll see what the future brings." "We have our agenda and the President has his." "It's time for them to pick up the mantle and get the job done." "And a partridge in a pear tree." I just threw in the last one. But the rest are right on. It is embarrassing to our country that the Speaker of the House of the U.S. cow-tows to a terrorist group. The Tea Baggers have called for the destruction of the US Government and the undermining of the countries security by causing the economy to crash. They are using extortion. Destroying the US economy is partly why planes were flown into the WTC. Tea Baggers are doing it by infiltration. They were elected by people with the same ideology as any other fascist mob in recent world history. Other countries have seen this happen to their regret and it's happening now. Here. I wish I knew what to do. But so many people are beguiled by the media. Who won Dancing with the Stars? Who won American Idol, America's Got Talent? What is the latest Zombie television show or movie." "Which rich celebrity is getting married, divorced or selling they're home?"

My hope is that some day We the People will start caring more about our country than the above shallow garbage.
