Boehner is blatantly fishing for shutdown justification.

The ACA, Obamacare, talk didn't fly. Turns out it may well help many Americans regardless of party affiliation. Now it's the fall back "entitlement" meme.

Pretty poor example of Congressional leadership.

I want him to prove he wasn't sent here to destroy Democracy.

11. OMG he's a Fidel Castro plant!

Anything is possible..

Throwing shit out there to see what sticks to the wall to justify doing the wrong thing.
