"It's too short." Boehner on White House Plan...

[tallahasseedem]

A spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner today ridiculed President Obama's health care proposal because it's too short.

"The White House's 'plan' consists of an 11-page outline, which has not been scored by the Congressional Budget Office or posted online as legislative text. So they want to reorganize one-sixth of the United States' economy with a document shorter than a comic book, and they're complaining that they can't find our plan on their own website? C'mon," said the spokesman, Michael Steel, in an email to reporters.

This situation would be quite funny if it were a movie.

25. Too short? This from the same politician that brought out a 5 page Republican answer to the Federal

Budget for 2010, with no numbers? And criticized the White House' budget for being hundreds of pages long?
