Boehner Can’t Relate to SPF 35 and Above Americans

Filed in National by on June 29, 2010

As The Orange One (aka Jim Boehner) comes out swinging against the financial reform package, the White House hit back. Robert Gibbs said that Boehner is out of touch with regular Americans.

At his daily briefing, Mr. Gibbs said Mr. Boehner was “opening one’s mouth and removing most of the doubt that you’re completely out of touch with America,” noting that millions of Americans lost their jobs or their savings because of the financial crisis that the legislation is intended to prevent. “It demonstrates how out of touch you are currently and it demonstrates exactly the type of mindset that he would bring to leading the House of Representatives,” he added.

The one constiuancy that Boehner has not lost was that of the Ooompa-Loompas.

    Fun,I admit but the real fun is that the Orange Man has made a statement to a Pittsburgh newspaper that America will have to roll back Social Security benefits and raise the retirement age to 70 to pay for(are you ready?) the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yes friends, Christmas comes early!

    It’s John Boehner, not Jim.

    And people wonder why blogs aren’t considered a reliable source of information … 😉

    And, yet, anon you keep on coming back.

    Or, how about this one ….. I didn’t spell his name as “Boner.”

  4. nemski,

    I don’t think Boehner can relate to black people either. He appeals narrowly to the orange demographic.

    Folks – in the middle of his teabagger rant, Boehner did actually propose a means test on Social Security:

    “If you have substantial non-Social Security income while you’re retired, why are we paying you at a time when we’re broke?”

    That is not a bad idea at all. Democrats should call his bluff and take him up on it.

    The operative word being “substantial” (we don’t want retirees to be afraid to take a job as a Walmart greeter).
