Boehner Says Obama Being Disingenuous on Regulatory Burdens

It was so nice not having to listen John Boehner moan and groan about every single thing coming from the Obama Administration (and folks were actually saying Congress should reconvene). Who wants to listen to all that bickering with no accomplishments in sight. When Congress is in session, it seems like there is a collective pall that comes over the nation. What has Speaker Boehner actually done since he’s been Speaker? Seems to me, since the Republicans took over the House, whatever chugging along we were doing has died because of all the negativity coming from them. I am not looking forward to their return. A bunch of spoiled children. Yep, President Obama, the only adult in the room. And BTW, since Boehner got 98% of what he wanted in that so-called debt deficit debate, why is not taking 98% credit for the downgrade? I’m just saying.
Have a good weekend one and all!
To all those in the path of Irene, be prepared, be safe, take good care!! (Live in South Florida-been through three so far. Wilma was by far the worst).

Once again Boehner shows himself to be a hypocrite. He says that regulations hurt hiring but doesn’t support legislation that supports new jobs.
I’d say if 80% of those in the survey cited think that the regulations are good for business, that is whose word we should take on the matter.

The results of the survey of economists the administration points to interesting:
-”More than half (56.1%) favor reducing the deficit only or mostly through spending cuts rather than only or mostly through tax increases (6.8%). The remaining 37.1% favor equal parts spending cuts and tax increases.
-Nearly 40 percent of survey respondents believe that containing health care costs in Medicare and Medicaid is likely to be the most successful aspect of a deficit-reduction plan.
-In response to a series of miscellaneous policy questions, NABE panelists expressed …opposition to the National Labor Relations Board’s recent complaint against Boeing regarding the location of a new factory in South Carolina.

Did Cass Susstein show his math?

Something tells me that if you quoted that NABE survey as evidence that we should only use spending cuts, not tax increases, suddenly this administration would try to find fault with the survey.

How does Susstein’s logic work, anyway?
The Obama administration isn’t regulating in a way that hurts the economy, because the number of regulations are about the same as 2007-2008 when the economy was….not hurting?
Anyway, I’m sure this administration will be more than happy to transparently release the list of planned rules to the American people.

Mr. Boehner name them specifically since you’re the head of congress…tired of your played out shenanigans.

“Speak up for America GOP ! So where are the JOBS ?”
The Government can’t do jack squat about creating jobs. For goodness sake look at what they have done to our country with debt.This was done by the most educated people in the country all with pedigrees from the “right” schools. Most of them never have held a job and most of them have gotten to their positions by Government grants or being born bluebloods. They don’t know any better.
In the meantime money to borrow is dirt cheap, businesses are flush with cash and they continue to use technology to shed employees and increase profits. They will also continue to invest overseas where taxes are cheaper and regulations are understandable. Anyone who says that the fear of nuts like Cass Sunstein isn’t a factor is simply in make believe land.

Some good stories on this page. Obama golf game unshaken duing quake. Obama says could rain during hurricane. Obama cutting vacation short.Obama created or saved a million jobs. Obama gets own show on MSNBC.

Right on Gene. Boehner runs the government now. So whats the holdup?

Boehner controls a third of the federal government! Boehner is responsible for jobs being created in America! Boehner has not created one job or introduced one job bill on behalf of the working class! He has fought for the rich and powerful! Not all of America is stupid!

It’s not Boehner’s responsibility to create jobs. His responsibility is to remove roadblocks so that the private sector can create jobs.
You’re perfectly free to start your own business and pay all your employees $100K per year with generous benefits. Who’s stopping you?

Political games. These republican and democratic officials are kinda full of it. They know they have to work together to move this country forward, but they play political chess with the publics popular opinion in mind to win the next election. I don’t want to hear finger pointing. John Boehner needs to just create bills and send them to the Senate. Stop this political grandstanding garbage. Create a bill and send that (blank) thing through

You obviously have no idea how private sector jobs are created. Hint: It’s not from jobs bills.

Tell that to Rick Perry. He just balanced his budget on Obama’s stimulus money and created something like two hundred thousand jobs – most of them government jobs created using goverment oney and goverment initiatives. They’re calling it the ‘Texas miracle’ and claiming they’re ‘real’ jobs.

I swear the republican side of me is leaving its dormancy. Call Boehner and tell him to cut the crap and legislate. He has the power. DO IT!

The real question is how are these regulations coming about through Executive order of through the actions of Congress? This needs to be addressed! If they are by Executive Order it is demonstrable that President Obama is anti-jobs and anti-business.

My arguement is this. If Obama’s policies are killing the economy like the repub officials claim, and you want to rewrite them to make them more business friendly, regardless if it passes or not, send the re-write of what you want through. That’s the House’s job. Legislate all you know that will create the envirnonment for business to grow. Put up and shut up…

If Obama is so anti- business, demand the business friendly House create, create,create business friendly legislation that the Senate have no other option but to sign it. Do it and shut up already. Geesh

Obama wants this country on the ropes.

Of course he doesn’t. That’s a foolish thing to say.

Actually, TV, ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ did NOT have to be repealed by congress in order to be lifted. Obama could have simply issued another executive order to that effect. However, he wisely chose to do it through congress, to demonstrate it was a policy with widespread support rather than something being done by fiat. Do you think the original “don’t ask don’t tell” executive order was “limited”? Me, neither.

See how the ‘fear mongerers’ and liars do it? Through out a ‘soundbite emotional misrepresentation’ of changes needed to be made to ensure and protect the middle class, the average consumer from another ‘consequence’ of free, unfettered wild west free enterprise of ‘running amok’ and creating another financial crisis bubble. They expect two things: one, you won’t dig into what they say or understand it and two, that you have all ready forgotten what our nation went through due to THEIR TOTAL MALFEASANCE! The GOP are crooks and liars…and they really do not care about YOU the middle class. This is nothing but ‘high priced class warfare’ conducted by the rich…through their ‘lap dog’ Party, the GOP. And people like John Boehner and Eric Cantor…have no ‘social conscience’…whatsoever.

Is Freddie and Fannie still getting our money?

Boehner…this is another ploy to make the public believe he is the reason for the recession. However, the exact opposite is true..he has lowered the rules and regulations in this regard and has done everything to promote jobs. What has the republican party done since they got in in 2010 under the guise of creating jobs..that is what I want to know? Nothing but obstruct this president from anything he wants to achieve i.e. infrastructure which you were for before he was for it. People are not fooled anymore and realize what is going on here. Look at Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida…those recently elected reps. have the lowest polls ever and are going down. In Wisconsin, the governor may lose his job for all the job cutting he has done and in Ohio Gov. Kacic has now asked to meet with the unions to offer a solution after shutting them out when he passed his bill. The people now have enough signatures to repeal it so I don’t think the public is fooled any longer by the GOP’s tactics.

Mr. Boehner will not cooperate fully. So that’s much we know. What we also know is that Mr. Obama has promised to get rid of these “evil ways of Washington”, these “broken ways of Washington”. Things are now worse since Mr. Obama got into office. A year left in his term, how will Mr. Obama get rid of this “evil ways of Washington”?

Obama put some rules on the banks..the GoP wants to remove them and allow them to once again deal in underhanded tactics like selling mortgages for profit over and over. They want Obama to lose because they know the GOP will remove those sanctions. Obama has tried to put rules on credit card companies and the GOP want none. Meanwhile everytime someone has a problem with hidden fees from banks and credit cards..who do they feel should do something?..the government. While we knock the government ..we want them when we want them. We can’t have it both ways…had the GOP under Bush been more intrusive with the banks and mortgage companies and their dealing, we would not be in this mess. You seem to remember it was Bush who gave out the first bailouts to the banks and Obama and Mc Cain did not want to do this but were pursuaded by Bush to go along…now it is his fault…this is really hypocracy.

Mr. Obama said that “We are the ones we have been waiting for”. So are we still waiting and who is this we? Where is this “evil ways of Washington” that he said to rid of?

“The Government can’t do jack squat about creating jobs.” I beg to differ, Al Gore the urban legend is he created the internet, no he did not, it was first a military application, what he did is authored bills that finally got the internet commercialized, because he saw the potential of creating jobs. The same holds true for alternative energies, but congress does not want it to go through because some states rely on fossil fuels such as West Virginia, the fracking of shale in PA, Alaska and Louisana oil, which both parties have special interests within these states, as for the others the republicans are still the Grand Oil Party. Lots more green and alternative energy jobs can be created with R&D funding, but considering that’s unpopular because of the debt it won’t come to fruition, Germany is the leader in green economy of the world, currently they are successful at it. Iceland will probably be oil free in about 20 years.

Debt ceiling.

I hear you Talmag. This current republican party is not what I used to belong to. Very bitter and near sighted. Reagan would NOT be happy with this bunch. They fail to see that Reagan would be very pleased with some of Obama’s actions. Especially militarily and what he was willing to do with the debt ceiling. The republican party used to make sense to me. Now it is hijacked by television personalities that are only concerned with ratings and selling books. They ignite frustrations and prejudice not understanding or caring how it is tearing this country apart. Like Biden said, not your father’s republican party. Hint ” Barbara Bush suggested Palin go home to Alaska for a reason… That redneck-segregated-narrow-minded-stiffnecked view of America is crippling to America when we have that as our image to the world.America was founded and headed by great leaders that inspired us. Bush did in 2000 and Obama did in 2008. People like Palin and bachman only offer criticism of a great man, they offer no solutions. trust me I really wish they did. If so offer it. Let us compare the plan. Stop trashing the pres. It’s sickening

Next Obama will appoint a czar of illegally imported woods/ivory (by non-union employers).

0bama doesn’t have to reveal squat! All he has to do is dictate what he wants to his czars and they simply “enforce it”. No congressional oversight needed. No cumbersome debate nor checks and balances, nope. 0bama’s the dictator now. Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Let the czars enforce 0bama’s will upon the nation. It is a large part of how the radical leftist framework is put in place inside the government. The radicals leave the veneer of a democracy in place to placate the proletariat into believing they still matter to the party and the movement through community organizing and union manipulation.

Most Americans realize special interests is what is driving congress. We the people do not have a say within our government any longer. All of our candidates of both parties are backed by big money. Why do we want that? The saddest part about this government and the SP ruling on Citizens United, our people’s voices are gone, $$$ is what drives our politics. Our democracy is failing us. And we the people feel helpless and are angry. Sleeping Lion will awake one day. And what boils me is that these people will say they didn’t see it coming.

TexBork: The only radicals I see in Congress are the republicans/tea party who are working inside and in conjunction with ather radical Norquist to stop everything from happening to make Obama fail. They have wiped out arbitration in states where rep, governors have been elected, laid off thousands of teachers, firemen, cops and have given more and more to their supporters…corporations. Like Ms. Bachman says..let’s make the poor earn less and give more to corporations to make them hire and not leave the country. I say let them go and take away all of their tax breaks if they are shipping jobs overseas. Those breaks are to keep jobs here and at this point they are paying the lowest in taxes in many a year. We can see where Ms. Backman’s loyalties lie and it is not with the poor who are struggling now and she wants to pay them less than minimum wage…what a joke she is. I cannot belive Ed Rollins is her campaign boss ….he must die every time she makes another gaff like singing happy birthday to Elvis on the day he actually died. Does she not check anything or does he? With all her criticism of subsidies..she sure does like them for herself and her husband;s farm and business. She has asked 16 times for more even since she started to run…what hypocracy…I guess most of her followers are lemmings or they would have figured her out by now. One good thing to come out of this is the people in states like Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio Michigan are catching on and are trying to oust the reps. they voted for a short while ago. The reps. no longer can say ..well they voted us in in 2010…because now they are trying to vote them out…not even waiting for the 2012 election. Guess they can’t use that line anymore.

I’ve read a number of the written comments, and you are correct. Obama does not have to revael any of his proposed prograns, but what happened to “Transparency”. Then I read where it’s bad to have $$$. What’s wrong with it? Money is made to be spent. And the comments about “Jobs”. Show me one poor person that employes 250 others. It’s all about profit. This Nation was raised on Capitalism. That’s what made of a great world power, while allowing you to have two cars in your driveway. Call it what you want, but if there’s no profit, who will build, expand and develop a market, which “RESULTS: in jobs? I’m all eyes and ears.

No ‘TALKER’…IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT PROFIT. AND FREE, UNFETTERED ‘CAPITALISM’ WITHOUT PROPER REGUALTIONS AND RESTRAINTS ALWAYS GIVES A COUNTRY A ‘DISPARATE’ WEALTH AT THE TOP…WHILE THE REST OF THE NATION SUFFERS. Unfortuantely, in ‘your type’ of world the middle class becomes a CONSEQUENCE as it is ruled by a wealthy oligarchy’, where tax rates and rules are skewed to their benefit. And they have ‘plenty’ of money for their huge contributions to their political ‘lap dogs’ (GOP, conservatives and now the stupid tea partiers). Exactly what the Founding Fathers ran away from in England. We are starting now to develop our very own ‘caste system’ as result of that type of ‘power and wealth’. What we are ‘witnessing right now – is the DEMISE of the middle class, in this country.

CND FOX, just went back and re-read your posting. You found fault in my comment,and that’s O.K. .. but failed to answer the question. Who creates the jobs?..And why does someone create jobs? Cause they’re nice people, or because they are trying to make a buck? Your answer is????
