Boehner Drops Obama Lawsuit; Says It Would Mean Doing Something

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) dropped his plans to sue President Obama on Friday, explaining to reporters, “I realized it would mean doing something.”

In a brief appearance before the press, Speaker Boehner talked about his gradual realization that “filing a lawsuit requires effort and, yes, work.”


“I came to the conclusion that while suing the President would be the best thing for the American people, it would also require that I do something,” he said, struggling to retain his composure. “And that would be a betrayal of everything I stand for.”

Mr. Boehner’s decision drew praise from fellow Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), who called it “courageous.”

“I know this was a very difficult decision for John,” McConnell said. “But at the end of the day you have to be true to your core values.”

What's your butt-buddy have to say about that implosion occurring along the border? Bush's fault?

Boehner casts doubt on border bill

By Cristina Marcos


Speaker John Boehner (R-Oho) on Thursday cast doubt on whether the House will be able to pass emergency funding legislation for the border before the August recess.

With the parties increasingly divided over changes to immigration policy, Boehner said he’s not sure that the two sides will be able to reach an agreement.

"I would certainly hope so," he said. "I don't have as much optimism as I'd like to have."

Boehner said Democrats have made passing a bill more difficult by opposing changes to a 2008 trafficking law so that child immigrants from Central America can be deported faster.

"There have been some comments that have been made by our colleagues across the aisle that are going to make this much more difficult to deal with," Boehner said in reference to the 2008 law.

The Speaker would likely need support from some Democrats in order to pass a bill, as some in the Republican conference are likely to oppose a package that doesn’t do more to secure the border..

Must not be a very important issue for Repubs or Boehner- as they are going to go home for recess.... In fact from now to election they are pretty much just going on vacation... :roll:
